KD2EMQ Tom Corrado, Lid of the year with his 8khz Splatter signal on 160 Meters
Tom was asked to turn it back, and his response was to tell us to go F off. KD2EMQ is what is wrong with operators today: no skill, just arrogance. KD2EMQ is a General Class operator who will never upgrade because he lacks the intelligence to do so; He would be better off going back to the Chicken Band, where he would fit right in!
UPDATE: EMQ was up to his BS with his potty mouth last night on 1900 (2-6-26), causing mischief and interference. It turns out KD2EMQ from 20 Darraugh Rd, Sparrow Bush, NY 12780 is nothing more than a CB operator with a General Class License. (845 281-3015)

The remnants of the original 1900 group now meet on 1895 during weekdays and transition to 1900 for weekends. Although a few original members remain, the group has sadly seen a significant number of its members pass on, leaving behind only a handful. Among those who have become silent keys are notable figures like Hap N3ARW, Bob K3JLY, and Harry K3HVC, alongside others such as Loyd N3QYE, John NJ3I, Bill N3IOD, and several Hams, including W4NGW and K2ESE. The list also includes Joe N3IBX, Bill W3DE, John W4AAA, Bill K3WI, Kelly N3FQG, Steve K1BYD, Clay K3CNH, Roger W3DWD, and now Al K3TKJ. The enduring spirit of the group remains strong as former members continue to honor the memories of those who have contributed to its legacy. While the present may look different, the connection to the past and the camaraderie persist, highlighting the resilience and dedication of those who cherish their shared experiences.
