Re: 80 Meters

75/80 tends to have a lot of nets and "local" ragchew groups, most likely because of the shorter propagation. They do tend to get very territorial. I also recall about a dozen years ago, before Riley Hollingsworth got started, 75/80 was a big cesspool and was one of the factors in the FCC getting involved in enforcement again. I recall one amateur AM station out of New England that used play DJ and broadcast uninterrupted music. His audio was good and I did not mind the genre but that was not the place to be doing it. 75/80 is definitely much better now than it was in the 1990's but I guess there is always room for improvement. I rarely work the band myself due to antenna issues but occasionally work some old friends on a net on Sunday evenings when conditions permit.

Somebody needed to take up a collection and buy him a Ramsey kit. If you're going to play DJ, do it on the proper band.
