Perhaps, Lennie, if certain mischevious scumbags weren't
looking to "bruise" people there wouldn't be such a propensity to be as defensive.
Such as the deceitful and misleading barbs YOU disseminate in this
forum.
Guess you now think it's wrong for one to defend one's self?
These are certainly not the good people that I first met when I became
a ham. The trouble with amateur radio started with the advent of the
no-code license. People began entering the service that did not
worship at the altar of St. Hiram, and did not kneel and kisst the feet
of Extras.
The problem didn't start with the No Code test...It started almost
20 years before that with the influx of 11 meter operators via the Bash
Book route and the subsequent codification of the "open pools".
