well dont forget the CG budget was starved for years. we have one of
the oldest CG fleets in the world and it's only now being upgraded.
comms is part of that. yes, CG comms are, to put it mildly, antique.

of course, there's always *CG on your cell phone

I offered to bring an IFR over to CG Charleston and TURN UP THE DEVIATION
ON THEIR VHF RADIOS.....so we could HEAR what was being said. To hear
them, here, you must turn your VHF volume control to maximum, especially if
the engine is running! It's been like that for years.

Talk of "deviation", I think, scares them....(c;

That must have really impressed them a lot. Some old fart ham with no
license to touch any other radio offers to adjust a CG radio ...

And you wonder why they ignore you?

Geez, Rick. You're beginning to sound like some kind of broken record.

You can still kiss my ass, however. How's that?

Sorry, Larry, I'm not into old farts with imaginary lives.
