K1MAN ESSAY: E051028A - WELCOME AARA AND IARN - HAM RADIO WILL DIE WITHOUT THEM
To the contrary, I find 20 meters prime spectrum of interesting hams.
Taking a break from business, I had the pleasure of talking all day on
20, only a minor part about the K1MAN story.
I'm glad you raised 20, because Glenn has weighed in within this thread
on the subject, decrying its decay.. Contrary to his view, I find 20
meters upbeat. Quite a change from a short time ago when Riley came on
board. Respect has replaced disrespect, a decent atmosphere has
replaced one which was polluted (now the kids can listen), contesters
are as avid as ever, friendly nets are ordinary operations, and hams,
for the most part, act courteously toward one another.
In my view, 20 has undergone a sea shift for the better. Diatribes?
If that is the way you wish to characterize this type of communication,
be my guest.
