What cultural differences have you noted in ham radio from region to region?

Comments… EMCOMs class in Richmond google the JISCC it’s very cool to see; clear your call out west; in Michigan we didn’t ID the other ham on VHF QSOs all that much; Aerated feedlines fixed; English commonly spoken in ham radio and world travels (multiple commenters agreed Asia, Europe, ITU); Air Traffic Control; ARRL band plan East versus West; Ham radio culture is largely courteous and civil; 220 net and 220 ops

Announcements: Technician license class starts tomorrow night; Net control schedule is up to date on the website; 145.31 system is known by KI4AD

Opened the net on 50.130 MHz at 2000 and closed at 2105. We had four check-ins: W0MPM, (John), N4PD, (Paul), N4FAF, (Jim) and myself. Excellent discussions tonight with focus on Flex and Elecraft radios, Test equipment (all types), Microphones and life in general. Make sure you stop by on Wednesday Nights to make sure your rigs still work on 6 meters and say “Hello!”

73’s,

Chris, W4PMP
