Sounds like the FCC has had enough:

I wonder how many of these (General and above) HF guys are ones who complain that VHF/UHF has gone to a bunch of non code CBers? I don't even stop on that freq anymore, just keep twisting the VFO to the next signal.Wirelessly posted (Opera/9.80 (BREW; Opera Mini/6.0.3/27.2354; U; en) Presto/2.8.119 320X240 LG VN530)
It's one of the frequencies. 80m and 160m have their share of rule violators as well. And of course, you can probably find them on virtually any frequency at various times if you travel across the country.
I just tuned into the LID calling channel at 14.313 and there are some crazy folks on that frequency right now.
I never heard anything like it. older guys arguing over 14.313, one guy calling the other guy a Nazi Collaborator during WW II etc.. lots of bad bad blood regarding WW II.There usually are. At least they leave the rest of the band alone...

At least these clowns self-quarantine to 14.313. There was also a hangout on 14.275 with Canadian Karol and his antagonists but that seems to have died a well-deserved death. Don't dwell on the channel 13 group. 20 meters has lots of great people and its even better when grey line dx abounds. Ditto for 17. Enjoy the bands and forget the fools on.313 who are unworthy of mention but worthy of our silent contempt.I never heard anything like it. older guys arguing over 14.313, one guy calling the other guy a Nazi Collaborator during WW II etc.. lots of bad bad blood regarding WW II.
hehe wow.
Interesting. For instance, around here on VHF/UHF repeaters a single operator will sometimes identify both (or multiple) parties to the conversation. For example, "This is KC3- - - with KB3- - - and W3- - - in the group" and then continue on with the discussion. Of course they all know each other, but oftentimes you've never met in real life but they know all the call signs in the conversation.If I talk to an operator who forgets to ID, never does it, he is in violation..., but does that make me in violation for conversation with a station that “may” not have been in Amateur Service? If I know another station is in Amateur Service, say I have recognized his voice for years, and ask him several times to ID, and he never does before leaving the air, does that make me in violation?
Is this a proper ID for yourself? I've always known it to be "W3xxx with KB3xxx this is KC8xxx" - as in identifying yourself last in the order.Interesting.

Would that technically be considered a violation? Even though you ID'ed properly and weren't trying to use another's call as your own; a person did give another op's call sign.
My apologies if this doesn't pertain to this particular thread.
Isn't 14.313 where all the morons hang out?
Nice they're starting to go after some of them.
