75 METER AM SOUND BITES On January 30, 2008, Carl KM1H making reference to 75 meter AM wrote: "There may be some great technical people on there but way too many personalities that would be better off in a nursing home". click on any photo to
ENLARGE Irb W2VJZ became a silent key in December 2006. He made his mark on 3885 with his DX-100. The following sound bites are typical Irb.

1.
W2VJZ identified child rapers right over the airwaves. 2.
W2VJZ recommended peace on earth, good will to men, with malice toward none, except for execution. 3.
On the morning of this recording, Irb slid within 3 kHz of the only QSO on the band and called CQ. He deliberately interferred with WB2DGM, K1KBW, AB1CB and W1FRM who were in QSO on what was a clear frequency. How sad it was that Irb derived satisfaction from making others miserable. 4.
VE3AAM defended W2VJZ, but there was a detractor (ex KD2XA, now W2JBL) at the very end of the monologue. 5.
NM1V confronted Irb and summarized Irb's negative radio life and offered corrective advice. Clearly flustered and taking advice from no one, Irb countered with Irb logic: "I've been talking on here since before you were born". 6.
W2VJZ felt that if he made a short QSO in the morning and signed out, that he still 'OWNED' that frequency the rest of the day. Having received an FCC warning letter about this, Irb commented on Riley Hollingsworth. 7
AB2EZ boldly evaluated W2VJZ and told him not to answer his CQ's. 8.
W2VJZ leveled a pro-semitic salvo at his detractor. 9.
AB2EZ and W2VJZ revisited the subject of: "calling all radio amateurs, except you". 10.
W2VJZ responded to an anonomous "Jew hating" attack. (this went on an on.. Irb finally wore him out). 11.
W2VJZ, pretending to call CQ, made another one way political Broadcast. Irb never expected an answer and.... Irb never got an answer either. 12.
W2VJZ singing? Impossible you say. Here is a rare one. 13.
W2VJZ played a quarter ton, 9 foot outdoor Liberty Corner bell for K1TEY. 14.
W2VJZ had been known to exaggerate a teeny bit. You be the judge. 15.
W2VJZ read a paper he wrote years ago in fond memory of his father. Another AM'er, Johnny W3EGC, who distinguished himself on 75 meters by his excessively wide signal and his disruption of other conversations.
16.
NM1V, whose QSO up the band was disrupted by W3EGC's wide splattering signal, sounds off. 17.
W3EGC tries to join a QSO, but the roundtable has been bothered in the past by Johnny, so they speak their minds. 18.
KC2IFR records W3EGC who has been delibertly interferring with his conversations. 19.
K0UL and W2PFY tell W3EGC "TO LISTEN" before he transmits. 20.
W3EGC, having been told he is causing deliberate interference, boasts about "his credentials" and then tells the detractor that he is of lower intellect. Tim WA1HLR, the famous radio GURU, liked by everyone, a character indeed.
21.
WA1HLR, adding yet another layer of food particles to the poor old D-104 microphone. 22.
WA1HLR and his famous expression: "Hey dummy, use the dummy load !!".......yet on 3885 we hear.... 23.
K1MAN gives credit to WA1HLR for motovating him to start a bulletin service on 3890 AM. 24.
WA1HLR explains why the K1MAN bulletins changed from weekly to daily. Bill KC2IFR as another unique character on AM.
25.
KC2IFR records W3EGC who has been delibertly interferring with his conversations. 26.
KC2IFR, a gentleman, seeking spectrum sharing, uses a diplomatic phrase to solicit cooperation. 27.
KC2IFR pets his Johnson while thinking about women. 28.
KC2IFR knows members of the "My shit don't stink group" and lectures them on hi-fi. George W1GAC (SK), homebrew builder, QST author and one of the finest gentleman on the amateur radio bands.
29.
W1GAC, remembers and recites the WLW "moon river poem" signoff. John, K1DEU proclaiming many non-conformist beliefs.
30.
John thinks he may have been a female in his past life. You be the judge. The following are.... well.... interesting. 31.
KB2SIE showing the kindness and respect any New Yorker would have for nearby stations. 32.
K1NQM proves that cocktails and ham radio don't mix. 33.
KA1ZEQ says: "I'm going to Canada. 'F' the United States of America if" etc. etc.. 34.
W2PFY, one of our more eloquent 75 meter AM'ers, directs comments toward a jammer. 35.
K1NQM transmitting from the "Twilight Zone". The following are in promotion of Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands: 36.
Paul WA3VJB explaining the "bandwarming party" on the expanded 75 meter phone band via a report to the Amateur Radio Newsline #1532. Contains historic 75 meter sound bites. 37.
Henk PE1MPH (papa echo one mike papa hotel) does an off-line promo for his AM gang on 3705 in the Netherlands. Now that the phone band is expanded, good propagation can yield a direct QSO.
38.
Henk records Ken W2DTC and Brent W1IA on December 28, 2007 and sends sound file to Ken via email.
