OMs? What are OMs?

 

[brandon]

Just some HAMMY abbreviations
OM = Old Man (Male)
YL = Young Lady (Female)

Hahaha, ohhh okay. I was thinking when I was reading the posts that they had to be HAMs talking back and forth but I wasn't sure what OMs were. I plan on getting my Tech this summer when I have some time to study.

Yeah I thought it was hams at first but it was not a valid freq for 60 meters. I had previous logged USCG Auxiliary net on this freq but these guys didn't use callsigns for a while, so it was a mystery. Finally they self identified and was confirmed to be USCG Auxiliary stations.
