Well, Steve, Isnt AM just putting out two 2700 Hz signals at the same time? I say that the AM signal fits into the band plan nicely. Hi Hi Joe n3iqa Subject: Re: [AMRadio] 7190 and/or 7195? Region 1 Bandplan contains no provision for AM in expanded 40m band You gotta love those bandwidth

I love the translation!! The term Lid apparently comes from the landline telegraph days, where there would be multiple op's in one room transmitting and receiving different messages at the same time. The sounders sounded pretty much alike so some ops attached a piece of metal (a can lid perhaps)

I'm not sure that being a LID is confined to any one license class.? However, there is a tendency for a person to think that when he has been doing the same thing the same way for a long time, he must be in the right, and others not so much. BTW, Loud Ignorant Dummy (LID) works for me 73

Nope.. it's sure not confined to the Extra Class license holder. When I was a Novice and even a General if my cw wasn't up to par or if my operating practices were not sharp I was called a LID, more than once! It makes us all better operators to be critiqued honestly. Back in those days you heard
