It seems strange to me that, on the occasions that I tune a receiver up to 11m, I very, very often hear that sort of call, but never hear the same people in a conversation with anyone.

And it's "Howbouddat Skiplan', skiplan', ya gotta copy, c'mawn?". No wait, that's only the CB AM'ers that do that. The CB slawbuckets and freebanders improperly use Q signals. They still use the "audio-audio" test though.
