    Definition for the word LID according to ARRL material in the late 1950's is "a poor operator".
    The only legal word that can be sent by CW or Voice over Amateur Radio airwaves to insult another operator.

    I suppose LID never is in any exams given by civilian VEC's but as I learned by hanging around the Radioroom Homeroom in High School LID is used instead of a cussword by Hams to describe someone they don't care to associate with.

    HMMM?, think I will search on DuckDuckGo to see if LID has a different meaning than what I remember.

    I know back in the '70s, a "lid" refeerred to a hat, as in, "Hey, man, nice lid!"

    Ed,

    I suppose LID never is in any exams given by civilian VEC's but
    as I learned by hanging around the Radioroom Homeroom in High
    School LID is used instead of a cussword by Hams to describe
    someone they don't care to associate with.

    There needs to be something in the question pools about on the air
    etiquette. There are far too many who feel that "It's an EMERGENCY,
    if their ROUTINE traffic, which they CERTIFIED as PRIORITY, isn't
    given precedence...so their HEALTH AND WELFARE (ego) is destroyed.

    The world, ham radio, nets, or any other hobby, revolves around
    NO ONE. While ham radio is a HOBBY, many consider it an OBSESSION,
    as if it's "Do You, Ham...Take Radio...To Be Your Lawfully Wedded
    Spouse??". For that matter, it's what Sysops do to their BBS's. <G>

    73,

    Daryl, N5VLZ
