| 06:17.07 | eightyeight | so, the 2m band isn't what i expected |
| 06:17.18 | eightyeight | but, i guess that comes with the territory: learning |

| 06:41.36 | Reilithion1 | eightyeight: The 2m band? Are you talking about amateur radio? |
| 06:41.59 | eightyeight | yeah |
| 06:42.17 | Reilithion1 | Cool. I've been curious about that. |
| 06:42.27 | Reilithion1 | Do share. |
| 06:43.10 | eightyeight | well, i'm intrigued by the random nature of long distance contacts. working over china, india, etc |
| 06:43.33 | eightyeight | although, in the back of my mind, i knew 2m wasn't a "long distance" band |
| 06:43.45 | eightyeight | but, i figured i could make random contact anyway |
| 06:43.58 | eightyeight | yeah.... that's not exactly how the shorter wavelengths are treated |
| 06:44.16 | Reilithion1 | How are they treated? |
| 06:44.19 | eightyeight | 6m, 2m and 70cm are more personal chat with people you already know |
| 06:44.39 | eightyeight | like a bunch of truckers sitting on the same frequency, who already know each other |
| 06:45.12 | eightyeight | you don't "cq" on the shorter wavelengths, and you generally don't use the q-codes |
| 06:46.03 | eightyeight | it's mostly local chat, 50-100 miles, and you just talk in plain english |
| 06:46.38 | eightyeight | it's fine, but if i had known that these bands weren't really random-friend-making bands, i would have likely chosen a different radio |
| 06:48.38 | eightyeight | oh, and apparently, that's where all the chatter is. and most use the repeaters |
| 06:49.16 | eightyeight | it's interesting, but i keep comparing it to irc in my mind |
