In Australia, 2m has been dead for years, apart from the odd usual early
morning nets that go for barely half an hour on a couple of repeaters,
huge waste of resources, but the power companies love em :)

I had 80 contacts on 2m on Tuesday . 6 in the near of Glasgow. SSB and
some CW. I was out portable near Stranraer.

The mistake is using FM . It is a very poor mode for other than local
contacts. Also everyone uses crap antennas. Maybe when we're all using
1KW , it will be better.

Bleep dah-di-dah.

I love 2M SSB, but it seems no one makes 2M SSB rig
these days. Something like the Trio TS700 would be nice, even a
Liner 2.

Just a few Watts on a simple antenna is great for urban
QSOs, it just needs people.

I sent the poster an e-mail offering cash if I travel
to Renfrew to have butchers at it before I part with the plastic
reddies.

A fair offer considering what the thieves market e-bay
is.

What I wonder is why you didn't say "I have a Liner 2
I will sell to you for £80, you can even come and pick it up and save
postage."

No you had to bugger about. You could if you wished told
me you were selling it via ebay, and had me use e-bay and have
them take the vigorish. Why you would want to do that, I have no
idea.
So I wonder, what next? Will I get a note attached to a
tree telling me where to go next?

I find it excellent to see a pair of trolls going at each other. Of
course it's not like Jim has form with his dodgy dealings on eBay and
selling cars which he knew were MOT failures.

OK so eBay rules have changed since the past but...

His favourite was the reserve pricing scam. A reserve price auction
required you to pay more when listing an item if you wanted a reserve.
Our hero would offer items for sale starting cheaply so the listing fee
was minimised and would pull the item from sale if it got offers but
wasn't going to reach his private reserve price. He did this many times
and bragged about it on here. ISTR (but could be wrong) that the same
item may have undergone this trick a few times.

The full gory details are "all in the archives".

ebay is a nest of dodgy dealers, as illustrated by Jim.

Back in the olden days, I would troll rec.radio.amateur
endlessly. One of my faves was when there was a thread about
operating air mobile om commercial aircraft. The consensus of the
geezers was that planes are delicate and if you transmitted from
one, the avionics would fail and people would die. So I asked if
FM was a no-no, would CW be OK? The howls could be heard across
the land.

Then Brian Kantor (Who dat?) chimed in and told me not
troll the idiots.

Usenet in its heyday was full of people trolling, some
were masters at it, Geoff Miller comes to mind.

It was the perfect troll in the old and original meaning as in
trolling to fish, and we would talk about the trolled jumping
into the boat.

So, the meaning of troll has cahnged from, catching the
unwary to just being disruptive, I blame eternal September.

The trying to sell me something via e-bay without saying
outright that he was the seller is somewhat frifty behaviour.

Why e-bay? Selling to me via an alias on e-bay while
paying e-bay's commision is highly suspicious. It the item
stolen? Is it defective? After all e-bay is known as a theives
market and many have bad experiences with e-bay purchases. My
wife for example bought a rock tumbler on e-bay, it had leaky
seals and a clapped out motor.

It seems that Jim, is a junk monger who has trouble
making a straight deal.

Well, now I know who can't be trusted where purchasing is
concerned.

why is 2m dead as a doornail .... is it just summer?
I am not sure whether you are talking about 2M FM or SSB
and Morris. But I have been listening and calling on 145.500
since last August. I finally had a QSO last week with a fellow in
East London.

Seeing as everyone and his brother make 2M FM rigs and
advertise them heavily your would assume the channels would be as
busy as a dope dealer at the Glastonbury festival.
