Topband: Coupla things

[mstangelo at comcast.net]

I thought the proper way of indicating clicks is with the signal report - 579k. I haven't heard this used in years.

If the offender gets's this signal report it may give him a clue something is amiss.

It worked when I was a novice years ago in the 1960's.

Remember all thise key click filter articles on the old QST?

Hi Tom et al,

Alas & alack, that sort of thing simply does NOT happen in to-day's Topband world...

Far too often, the unwitting "perpetrator" is often lambasted & skewered---behind his back, of course---on the likes of The ON4KST Chat Room with fellow like-minded "gentlemen"...and more often than not, some anonymous "aide" will kindly and repeatedly send "FIX KLIX" at the end of the victim's transmissions on the air...
