Caveat Lector this is for you buddy. If you think ham radio
and MARS/AARS/Marine Mars is out of the picture nowadays I suggest
maybe you had your head in the outhouse hole in the board.
WW2 was actually fought by COMMS guys of all kinds mostly
hams. Its still being done today in IRAQ and Afganistan
and its those same hams and descendants of Hams that are
doing the job both in the military and in the Volunteer hams
such as I am one of. So think twice before you rave on.
I have a QCWA certificate showing continuous service for 70
years as a licensed ham. So cut out the snootty attitude!

P.S. I dont have a cell phone and never will. I dont have
cable tv and never will. I dont have a VISTA computer
on the internet and never will. I used my head and stick with
my old Commodore 128 which is totally imune to any virus ever
created or could be created in the future. Its my internet machine
and will remain so for that reason. I have 4 laptops which I enjoy
for listening to my favorits music while I play Solitare!!
Hence I dont pay for constant upgrades of virus software every
few months either.
