It's a shame, but the reality is that us radio hams are congenital

It is significant, is it not, that the only people who make this
allegation are those who have been involved (or still are) in the
business of making money out of selling equipment to the said "radio
hams". I have heard this complaint innumerable times from failed
amateur radio traders ... with whom this country is awash.

You don't listen to many amateur then Walt. A definite trait of the radio
amateur is "short arms and deep pockets"- a positive trait in my view but
still worthy of a bit of mirth. I like a bargain as much as the next man and
(re)using a bit of "junk" to repair or make something is far more pleasing
than flashing the credit card.
