Absolutely correct Mike, another arguement for quality and not quanity.


And yet that is lost on so many people! Let's say we get a huge influx
of new hams. Where the heck are they all going to go? What will they do?
Here it is 10:30 p.m. heading toward the bottom of the present sunspot
cycle, and I'm looking at 20 signals on my PSK31 setup in a 3 kHz
segment. I can tune the bands on ssb and cw and by Gaw, they are busy!
As much as I like contesting, I don't want the bands to sound like
contest weekends all the time.

I want new hams, I want more to come along to balance out the SK's and
those that lose interest. But I want good hams, not simply people that
are here to provide a statistic. Anything else will be BAD for Ham radio.
