It depends. I think the ham crowd skews older so there is a lot of misogynistic humor (which I enjoy) and a bunch of racist humor (which I don’t enjoy). Overall

It depends. I think the ham crowd skews older so there is a lot of misogynistic humor (which I enjoy) and a bunch of racist humor (which I don’t enjoy). Overall it’s definitely not boring, especially if you enjoy a slower paced, in depth discussion of topics.
- hilbert42 2y ago"…a bunch of racist humor" Huh, perhaps where you are but I've never heard any of note. AR is pretty clean in that respect, self-policing works very well.
- dyauspitr 2y agoYes your experience is heavily location dependent.
- hilbert42 2y agoOK, I'll have to accept that expansion. Was it mostly on VHF (would seem more likely)?
- misstuned 2y agoYou hear it in the UK on 160m, there are a couple of nets that deal in that kind of "non politically correct" stuff, I don't tune in.
- hilbert42 2y agoHum, OK. I'm in VK, seems it's quieter here. Thought they'd use VHF to keep it local, but I suppose 160m is the next best thing (it's not the best look, you ought to keep that traffic local if possible). PS: Sorry about that damn typo, I must kill autocorrect.
- wkat4242 2y agoYeah and the Italians always ignore any power limits so you hear them all over the world :)
- hilbert42 2y agoJust maybe they've a penchant or flair for efficient antenna design. ;-)
