    I'll bet this guy was embarrassed

    The FCC pay a visit to a California ham...

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    As well he should have been . Not even a cat involved this time , just a careless op . We'd all do well to let this serve as a reminder .

    Reminds me of a night on 75M many years ago which featured Aitch Yell Arr, an irate customer of his and a D-104 which somehow became trapped between a desk drawer and the edge of the desk...at just the right position to key the transmitter. The ensuing f-bomb campaign was a spectacle to behold. I still have a tape of it somewhere around here.

    How the hell do you NOT know your radio is transmitting if you're in the room with it?

    Maybe next time you should turn off the Break-In when you're done using the rig. :roll:

    Better yet, turn the fscking thing off when you leave the shack, dumbass! :roll:

    Snoring on the air is just as good on 2m as it is on HF except there is no repeater time out on HF. On the other hand, snoring on HF gets a wider audience and having heard both, HF wins hands down.

    Whether or not this was an accident... and I have a sneaking hunch it probably was (dumbkopf should keep an eye on his equipment... OK, we've all left the rig on meaning to get back to it & didn't, but for days on end? Schmuck)... I think the afflicted induhvidual will soon be able to tell us from personal knowledge if the FCC Pink Slip is actually still pink.
