These things are really annoying. What is wrong with sending — . . – on meeting night, or the repeater call in Morse?
Instead, we are subjected to hearing your idea of a funny message that takes a half hour to speak. These are the internet equivalent of signature lines that are longer than the message.
Worse yet are the repeaters which are run by blinking 12′s. I hear a bunch of repeaters daily that come up, ID, then say “THE TIME IS…. TIME NOT SET”. What is the purpose of this?
My other favorite is the repeater that constantly says the temperature is 129 degrees Fahrenheit. In the middle of the night. On the coldest day of the year.
