“When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol’ Jack Burton always says at a time like that: ‘Have ya paid your dues, Jack?’ Yessir, the check is in the mail."
This is honestly what ham radio is.
OnlyHams you say?
At this time of day in this part of the country???
Steamed you say?
That’s a big 10-4, good buddy. Over and out.
I know it’s only a joke, and I hate to be that guy, but,
It’s either over or out.
Either you are telling the other person they can now send (over), or you are signing off and will not be monitoring this frequency (out).
Thanks Hollywood for skewing that for us.

I don’t really work CW, but good thing I can translate without trying to to keep pace. 73 friend.
You forgot ranting like a lunatic about mind-control vaccines on 80m
Ugh Ive heard them on 40m near me too. Even some 144Mhz nets will have someone fishing for more believers occasionally.
Usually 2m is pretty businesslike around me. Just nets and quick convos about meetups.
