what a joke (ch 19 when the short prop is good)

I had the misfortune to be listening to ch19 ukfm yesterday evening as the short skip made way for some remarkable (40db) signals into 108div and heard 26div giving (and receiving) abuse to our scottish friends,what a complete joke and it made me even more certain that CB can be a complete waste of time.Yes there was many decent qso`s going on on other channels but what a disgusting way to behave and it made me thoroughly ashamed to be a CB (im also a ham/freebander) operator.

Ok im aware that ch19 is a muppet fest mostly but i just wanted to make it known not all of us 26div ops are tarred with the same brush and hope 108div realise this,heres to more short skip so many of us can have a decent contact with our scottish friends :wave:

Same here Andy. All i could hear was abuse on 19. I think most of the stuff from up here was coming from the Glasgow area as i can hear East/Mid/West lothian,Edinburgh,Fife and slightly further afield.
The guys i chat to sit on ch21 and let any 26 or 163 div find us and have a good old natter.
Both sides of the border have there problem breakers on Ch19 at anytime let alone when we get some short skip.Me and the mates love a chat with 26/163 div and you guys are always made welcome on whatever frequency we use.

Happens everywhere Andy even heard a German Station shouting "F£&K THE QUEEN" im no royalist but I thought whatever floats ya boat mate then he started on Anglea Merkle as well !
So at the end of the day ide just laugh at them and think they got nowt better to do than shout at each other let um get on with it there's 39 other channels to listen to avoid the nutters still it's the same on the Ham Bands me and Ron where have a Natter on 40m last night and some Oik thought it would be smart to start shouting TEST123 half a dozen times over the top of us half a Kc away from us ! So what do ya do sell up I don't quit that easy ! ! !

Never been on ukfm19 and never will , everybody knows what type of operators hang out there , mid block and T5 have some great op's north of the border who are a pleasure to speak with and I just hope the muppets stay where they belong ( nationwide) and don't buy SSB rigs.

If you have never been on UKFM 19 how can you comment :shrug: , but yes agree its true there is more idiots on there always has been but not all on there are like that you should'nt tie everyone with the same brush, there can be also idiots on the T5 and the Mids, as for your other comment hope they dont buy SSB radios I can tell you a few of the idiots that go on the UK19FM that do all the swearing and stuff they actully run HF sets and a few of them are actully licenced ops
and also the biggest pain in the ar*e North of the border the mad Scotsman George use a HF set so you worrying about them getting
SSB radios they dont need them

its easy to listen to a channel without actually transmitting on it, and if YOU know there are licensed operators acting in a bad way why haven't YOU reported them to offcom.

Because its nothing to do with me, why should I cause trouble for myself reporting people , anyway I dont know there exact QTH , plus also I have spoken to said people away from the UK19FM and they are totally different people altogether when not on the UK19FM,
and the there is no need to shout Kevin with the caps lock please , its suppose to be a discussion forum

also then why has'nt the mad Scotsman George been taken off air by Ofcom with what he does he has been it the papers and had videos done of him so they know what he does , so even if I did know the QTH of the ones I mention it would'nt matter cos Ofcom dont do anything anyway , also I did hear that George is also licenced too how true that is I dont know perhaps one of our Scottish members can confirm that

Andy mate i agree that the behaviour is disgusting and "nothing new" or not that doesnt mean we have to turn a blind eye or pretend it doesnt happen....we all know what ch19 is like and we can all move channels but its good to let those reading this forum know that some of us care enough to mention it :thumb:

It's a real shame Andy, what can you say really ...

We moan about the fake AT member George (or whatever his new call-sign is), but then we hear fellow 26 div's acting like complete tools !

Had some great contacts with Scotland, nice QSO's all sensible, good chaps. Luckily have not heard much abuse a few 26 frustrated at Hola's etc but nothing much.

In fact almost everyone I QSO with has been very nice to talk to. I am afraid there just seems to be some ill will from a very small minority. I think on the radio there are fewer perceived reasons to maintain self control/adhere to polite social norms and as such some people that way inclined (that clearly feel quite bad and disappointed about there life) show their true colours on the radio. The handy thing is you can always flick the channel.

Oops that was read differently to how it was delivered. :cb:

Please do not be grieved at my comment, it seems you have taken my words incorrectly perhaps ?

Keyboard warriors I do hope that was not aimed at me, I think I'd be the one grieved if you think I am a 'waste of space'. I'm sure you'll correct me on that ;)

It was purely a passing comment, hey we've all been on here decades, we're all old farts, as far as newbies coming into the.hobby, I don't see why anyone would, youngsters just don't get it and see it as pointless.

19 has been crap for decades now, there are plenty elsewhere to use, use the 19 when the short skip is in and you'll just get more numpties than usual, sad fact I am afraid, all of which you are sadly aware, but appreciate you voicing the good morales to which I agree


Just for the reassurance I agree with your comments, hence why CB radio no longer gets switched on in my house as the other half will not listen to the idiots on the calling channel.

Hey did you realise your two miles from me........

I've always said as 19 is used for general use these days especially for fred blogs and his mates round the corner wanting to play music, make farm sounds and talk about pot, people wanting to DX on the UK band would be better off on the old Home base Channel 14, then were not interfering with the local muppets

I hear European channels come onto Channel 19 and calling DX in Hull when there's some skip about and just get sworn at by the locals, I think it's such a shame. I'm all for Channel 14 for the UK wide DX Channel..

The 19 is always a mixed bag. I don't mind the swearing if its not aggressive. I called out for a radio check the other day and my local friend "JJ" John from St Albans came back, not spoke for 6 months. Ended up having a great long chat with a few other breakers joining in. All because I called out on the 19. However I know where you guys are coming from. ;)
