3.910 LSB LID echo/reverb box / robot sound effects

[KC8TCQ]

Last night (01/03/2011 02:00 UTC) while tuning around the bands I came across some LID on 3..910 LSB playing around eith an echo/reverb box connected to his rig. After playing around with that changing settings he then started using some voice/sound effects program. This went on for 30 minutes or so, never once did I hear any callsign. He stopped for a while, and someone started a qso on the now quiet frequency, and then he starts up again during the QSO.

It unfortunately reminded me of the days when such things were popular on 11m. I hope this does not become popular.

Probably a leftover from the 3910 Trash Talkers who congregated and sat there all night mocking each other like schoolyard children having nothing better to do until Sir Riley of Hollingsworth put them on NAL. Kiddie has a new toy, he'll get bored with it soon enough unless you somehow failed to mention cheerleaders with sound effect chips and that old Tarzan and Jane routine.

"It unfortunately reminded me of the days when such things were popular on 11m."

That didn't last long before a million dipsticks realized the reality of too much is NOT cool and tossed a million CBs in the trash can.

A couple of years back, we had a young Spanish speaker in North Jersey on 20 meters that used an old reverb unit and thought it was a cool effect. Splattered all over the place and even the other Spanish speakers ragged him to get rid of it. Got pretty ugly with them for about a week and he suddenly was gone from the air and was never heard from again. Now probably a resident of the great global landfill fertilizer project along the northern end of the Jersey Turnpike with a Secaucus zipcode. Even though he was on the dreaded 3910, there is no guarantee that this clown was even licensed. You don't have to display a license when you purchase a rig (especially on sleazebay.com)

This is really nothing new. In the late 1970s - early 1980s there was a group on 3914 that thought because broadcast could get away with off-color jokes and profanity they could. The FCC had other opinions.
