Its quite amusing how some of the fraternity in here who have a Full Licence
think they can repair a radio. A lot can yes but there's also a lot of
Amateurs who hold full licences who, for one reason or another, can't fix
their radio.

Fortunately, the ability to fix a radio is only one facet of Amateur
Radio, and not a compulsory one at that. There are Amateurs about who
don't do moonbounce or MFSK or aerial experimentation - Amateur Radio
is a broad church.

There are plenty of search results on google or Yahoo or probably any other
search engine you would care to name that would reveal appropriate
information be it CB or Amateur for the repairman.

It's a shame that there are those about - even with a broadband
connection - who 'do not follow web links'. It's their loss.

It's a shame they just
can't ask for help and everyone join in in a helpful discussion which is how
it should be.

Well, one chap asked for help concerning a problem with an FT-707, and
received a number of helpful replies. It was a pity that he was the
only user on ukra of that particular ISP to suffer an ISP failure and
consequently never saw them. Presumably in those days he didn't know
how to Google the archives. Strange world.....
