I find Q-codes and euphemisms like HiHi used on clear FM voice channels very confusing. It's my belief that certain hams are continuing to use these to purposely obscure and somehow use this coded language to somehow make what they are taking about seem more important than it is. Also in my opinion there are way to many appliance operators rag chewing about nothing technical, more so personal stuff on a regular basis on our local repeaters. Please alert them that they are violating as well. I think GMRS would be a better fit for them. > (5) Communications, on a regular basis, which could reasonably be furnished > alternatively through other radio services.
