No, we're not talking about that. It seems you don't want to
PARTICIPATE in amateur radio. Why??? You are still stuck in the world
of shortwave. Why, Steve??? A lot of nice scanners and shortwave, but
where is all of your ham
gear, Steve?? Instead of cuasing problems in here, you could be on
amateur radio having a great time.

Just because someone doesn't want to participate in amateur radio doesn't
mean they are technically illiterate. I am both a ham and SWL'er and
sometimes I get bored with amateur radio even though I'm into digital
modes,
CW operating, QRP, homebrewing, SSTV, and beaconing. But my first love is
and always will be HF listening. Personally I go in turns, listening to
utes for a while, then maybe getting on the ham bands and chatting for a
while.

But don't insinuate that because someone enjoys SWLing that they don't
also
enjoy amateur radio. Despite Steve's faults I have seen some good
information come from his direction.
