13 Codes

Good Copy

13-1 All units can copy you and think you're an idiot. 13-2 Yes, I copy you, but I'm ignoring you. 13-3 You're beautiful when you're angry. 13-4 Sorry 'bout that, Big Fella. 13-5 Same to you, Mack! 13-6 OK, so I goofed, none of us are human. 13-7 If you can't copy me it must be your fault because I'm running 3,000 watts.

OPERATORS

13-20 Is your mike clinking or are your uppers loose again? 13-21 Good grief are you being paid by the word? 13-22 Lady, is that your voice or did you install a steam whistle? 13-33 If you had spoken for another 30 seconds you would have been eligible for a Broadcast Station license. 13-24 Y'know, you made more sense last time when you were smashed. 13-25 Some of the local operators and I have chipped in to purchase your rig from you. Have you considered stamp collecting? 13-26 Next time you eat garlic would you talk farther from the mike?

TECHNICAL

13-40 Your signal sounds great, now shut off the set and give me a land line so I can find out what you want! 13-41 Either my receiver is out of alignment or you're on channel 28. 13-42 Either my speaker cone is ripped or you better try it again when you sober up a little. 13-43 That was a beautiful. Now try it with your mike connected. 13-44 I love the way your new rig sounds, now I know why the manufacturer dis-continued that model so fast. 13-45 Your transmitter must have a short circuit because there's smoke coming from my loudspeaker. 13-46 That's a new antenna? could get a better signal out of a 6-inch piece of damp string! 13-47 What a fantastic signal-give me a few minutes to bring the mobile unit to your driveway so I can copy your message.

SIDEBANDERS

13-50 Say, fella, can you slide that thing down 250 KHz? 13-51 You've tried the upperside-band, you've tried the lower side, you've even tried both sides, hope you're satisfied. Now will you go QRT so we can use the center slot? 13-52 Only good thing about hear-ing you on Single Sideband is that with only 1 sideband you're only half as offensive as you were on AM! 13-53 Attention AM station on centre slot: Just because they won't talk to you on your own channels what makes you think we'll talk to you here?
