Re: not very exciting start
CQ was originally started on HF using morse code. Short for Seek You (anybody there?). Please don't use it on 2m/440. Kind of like using the Q codes. Not meant for uhf/vhf.

Re: not very exciting start
I travel to LA and San Diego for business and have noticed the same thing. Lots of repeaters and no one using them.

Re: not very exciting start
