No it's not. 'Static mobile' has been heard occasionally for as long as
I can remember, especially when the station was not using a large
external fixed aerial (ie not the usual vehicle aerial), and where the
vehicle could not be driven off with the aerial attached. I may have
even used it myself, when the situation warranted it. It's sort of an
alternative to /P (which usually used to mean operation from a tent).
It's really a 'courtesy' to anyone listening, as an explanation for your
surprisingly massive signal. It's completely unofficial, of course (as
is /M these days!).
Chaney, old chap, in the last few days you have had lots of digs at the
operating practices of what you consider to be lesser mortals among our
brethren. There's a lot you could complain about, but most of these were
without any justification. It seems to me, as well as consistently not
understanding the convention of bottom-posting, that you really don't
know much about amateur radio either!
Sorry to be bitchy,
Ian.

I remember loads of ops from the early 60,s when I was an SWL, operating
"static mobile" from top band, to 2m.
The term has been used for as long as I have been listening on HF + VHF
For Gods sake the chap is just letting you know he is operating with the
car parked, instead of moving.
Hardly a CB thing.

Don't say sorry to Chaney, the man is a total dork. He seems to know less
about amateur radio than those he is always having a poke at.

Indeed Ian, the expression has been around from long before the G6
callsigns. I don't recall the pre BR68 wording but it wasn't in BR68 and was
always one of those "unofficial" things. There were often debates re when
you stopped being /M but then that is the nature of licence discussions.

Common misunderstanding "static boots/shoes" (or more accurately anti-static
boots) are CONDUCTIVE. Some even have a metal composition "strap" that loops
over the heel. The idea is not to insulate you from the floor but to ensure
there is a conductive path to it. Essentially, in an (anti-)static
environment, the aim is to ensure that everything is at the same potential.

Means he's parked up, would have thought that was obvious? UK Amateurs no
longer have to sign /M or /P it is optional, he's just telling you that he's
stopped in a vehicle somewhere - sounds like a yankee phrase, though more
probably comes from UK CB Vernacular circa 1990 - ties in with the novice
call too.
Next time he's own, put him straight - tell him 'LVN told you!

Ken, I hate to bring you down to the real world, but there has never been an
influx to amateur radio of CBers larger than the days of the G6s and G1s-
which was several times larger than that since the M3 licence started. Also
in real terms, not that many M3s are "ex CB" or current CBers for the simple
reason CB has been very quiet for years and there isn't a "pool" of CBers
out there for the M3s to come from.
In fact, the biggest "group" I see are sailors who would like to operate
/MM- having met up with other sailing amateurs on their travels.

CB background, I feel that they do seem to be learning and perpetuating
a lot of CBisms. And of course, there's 'New Hamspeak', which uses words
like 'ham'. And what about that award of 'Top Ham'? I would have rather
died than accept such award, even if it was meant as an honour.

As you say Brian, groups are joining Amateur Radio (Sailors) because it is
so easy to do so since your dunbing down excercise. These "Sailors" have no
interest in "Real Amateur Radio". They just want a few extra (private
channels) to add to the restricted Marine VHF radio.
As for the great influx to Amateur Radio in the early 1980's (G6 and G1
callsigns). This influx was (mainly) by Ex CB'ers who left the bad habits
and the CB behind them. The newer influx seem to believe we are here to
give them a few extra "channels" and they can carry on as they have been on
the CB and most still talk of chatting on CB..
Let's not forget that the vast majority of these newcomers who degrade the
service would never have been here but for the actions of yourself and a few
other dedicated "social climbers". It is really sad to see what is left of
some once proud groups after the "climbers" have had there use of them.
History will show what or who has done most (harm) to Amateur Radio, the
problem is no one will care when its too late.

other people who are amateurs. That is how it works. Even you must see that
people don't take up a hobby unless they know about it. This just happens to
be a one route whereby people learn of amateur radio. CB was another,
although these days CB seems to be so small an interest few people seem to
have head of that.

Of course, the "good old days" argument. If you need that to convince
yourself that you are somehow "better" than other amateurs, I pity you.
Ken, many of those "early" CBers had spent years as illegal CBers- or was
that "the bad habits" you think they left behind them? Anyone who has been
on CB recently could at least have been so legally.
>

Well Ken, I've seen (or heard) a lot of amateurs act in such a away that
they degrade the hobby. The vast majority were around in the hobby even
before you left CB and became a G1. On the other hand, I really cannot
recall a recent newcomer who has been guilty of anything more than
inexperience.
And, as regards you " If its not G..........." slogan, how does that leave
someone you passed the written RAE but, for whatever reason, only takes out
a licence after the Gs had been "used up". Don't get me wrong, I quite like
your slogan- appending it to you posts sends a warning to new readers re
your attitude.

You have just said (in this thread, but in another posting) "When I made
the transition from CB to Amateur Radio I too tried to fit in by
adopting the formula that was around when I arrived...".
Two points:
(1) Why do you edit posts in your weird way, so that lines from previous
posts appear UNDER the separator? In a reply (like this one), only what
YOU say appears. It usually makes what you say look like unrelated
nonsense.
(2) I actually agree with you about bottom posting. I don't care what
these mythical Usenet 'rules' say. To me, it's totally illogical. The
easiest way to keep a filing system is to put the old stuff at the
bottom, and add new stuff on the top, as it comes in. Comments on
individual points can be inserted immediately AFTER the lines being
commented on. It works OK for normal e-mails, so why not here?
Unfortunately, the misguided majority of the uses of this NG don't seem
to see it this way. Until they do, the accepted way is to bottom post.
It shouldn't be too difficult a task for a REAL radio amateur to master.
It only took me a few minutes. Although, initially, it might take you a
little longer, I suggest you try it. I guarantee that you will
experience a deep glow of satisfaction when you have achieved your
objective.
So, on both these points, I suggest that you practice what you preached
about fitting in, and try 'fitting in'.
Ian.

I've done a quick check on QRZ.com. At first sight, G0UFN seems to be
the last one listed.
I suspect that someone who 'had influence' got them to make the change
in order to reflect the change of image of amateur radio. Didn't the M0s
start when the M3s started (so that they would 'harmonize')?

I dont know why you bother responding to the idiots.
This newsgroup is populated mainly by childish cretins with nothing better
to do than trade insults. Just plonk the offenders into a killfile.
Hints for the clueless :-
1) The age of a callsign is no indication of the licencees clue level.
2) The licence rules have changed, LIVE WITH IT
3) The 12 wpm morse test is dead, LIVE WITH IT
4) GROW UP and get a life.

If I was reading a book, I would expect to start at the top (front), and
work down (towards the back). But that's not what we're doing. We are
starting with an empty file, and filling it up starting with the
original posting, and adding new postings on top. At least, that's how
real world paper files (and normal e-mails) work. The bit at the top of
the pile is the latest, and also the most accessible.
But I realise that I will never convince the misguided majority out
there, so I'll just have to go along with you all, and bottom-post.
However, maybe we should have a parallel NG for those who want to
top-post? Anyone for a uk.radio.amateur.tp?

Nope all G0's were sequential. Could be he wanted XAY though and was willing

G0XA was the last sequence issued by SSL according to the RSGB news of that
week. G0XAZ may have been issued with particulars withheld. If you hear a
G0XB. to G0XZ call, chances are it'll be a pirate.

IN the sequence G0XBA to G0ZZY there would be a little over 1500 calls.
In the G5 Sequence of G5AAA to G5ZZZ there were another 17,000 even
with callsigns like FUK remaining unissued.
So around 19,000 GnXXX calls were still available, before counting the
possibility of issuing GnnXXX or GnXXXX - 6 character callsigns became
a precedent with the 2E1XXX sequence being issued to novice licencees.
WE also had th G9 sequence available...
As to the M sequence, Who has M2? And why does M3 have to be
Foundation, when there are other sequences

The question stands - why does M3 have to be Foundation?
We found a new sequence for novice/intermediate, why not use ZHnXXX or
similar for Foundation? We have plenty of available sequences.

The real question is, have you always been a dork and do you intend to

So, he just takes the hump when someone make a true statement about lazy
arsed B's? If it walks like a duck, quacks like duck..... Tell me
which part of my statement about lazy arsed B's was incorrect!
Now as for someone happy to give his callsign.... you're one to talk,
Lurker.... don't see you giving your callsign! Can you say "hypocrite"?

G6SPR had one as well... Nonetheless, they are there as well.
So there's about 40,000 unissued G calls.
How many Amateurs are there in the UK?

Just more insults from a troll in Holland who does not even know what a G4 is.

probably be down to about 10,000 in ten years time.

<gareth...@gmail.com> writes
last one listed, but there may have been a few more who are SK. What
with the unused G2s, and the unused tail end of the G0s, there seem to
be a lot of callsigns which could have been legitimately allocated to
Class A amateurs, long before we started the Ms. I'm glad I'm not a CW
fan. I would hate to have an M call.
