As if you cared, I happen to be fairly technical. I have a BSEE and have
been in the electromagnetic wave business for quite some time.

My argument is with the age old view that amateur radio is just for
"gentlemen." This stance implies two biases. The first is that all
participants must be male. I will leave this by itself. The second is that
all participants must have keen technical prowess and a VAST memory store of
useless facts. Today's technology opens the hobby up to people from all
walks of life and technical ability. This is a win-win situation if ever I
saw one.

More aptly put, amateur radio is a technically-based hobby and public
service that is open to anyone who has been qualified.

You wouldn't understand, Wayne, as you are neither technical nor a
gentleman.

Kindly go back to CB where you came from.
