[aprssig] wilderness protocol cq

[Jack Swift - Swift Hardware]

if you are in my area and call "CQ" on 146.52 or one of the 3 ham
repeaters i monitor or our ares simplex frequency (which you wouldn't
know, but i do monitor it) -- I WON"T ANSWER YOU!
but why would i intentionally ignore such a nice fellow as you?
because i don't use the radio for idle chat. if you like chatting with
people you don't know, that's fine, but don't expect everyone to have
your preferences.

on the other hand, if you say you need help (directions, tow truck,
law, fire, medical, phone home), i'll certainly answer you - that's
why i monitor...
