no I'd like to see it survive while folks like SC are whining Hamradio
is both fun and usefull

Our "radio" club is more of a social circle. Rarely is anything
technical dicussed, just gossip about other hams. We
meet at Golden Corral. When someone brings their kids along,
the senile old farts start yammering about future hams, and when
is he going to get his ham ticket? Meanwhile, the kids sit
there and eat with iPods stuck in their ears, cell phones in their
hands, and chattering about IM and MySpace.com All of
which may just as well be a foreign language to the delusional
old farts. LOL!

inded it would nice if folks like SC were even withion dx range of the
real world
