I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFIED, THIS NEWS GROUP IS NOT FOR HAM MEMBER
ONLY............

AS WHAT I KNOW THIS NEWS GROUP IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHICH COME FROM ALL WALK
OF LIFE THAT CAN SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE.

BUT SOMEHOW OR RATHER, THERE IS PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY PROUD OF THEM SELF SUCH
AS MR JIM CHUMBLEY WHICH DO NOT WANT TO ASIST ME ON ANYTHING BUT RATHER TO
TURN ME DOWN CAUSE I AM NOT A HAM MEMBER YET.[Refer to my posting and
feedback from Mr. Jim Chumbley on 3rd January 2004]

ANYWAY TO ALL THE PEOPLE OUT THERE, I WILL SIT FOR MY EXAMINATION IN THIS
NEAR FUTURE, AND I DON'T THINK IF I HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT.

IF YOU THINK CAREFULLY, IF SOMEONE INTERESTED WITH HAM BUT CAN'T GET ANY
INFORMATION OR KNOWLEDGE FROM A FORUM, NEWS GROUP, CLUB OR FRIENDS ( IN
OTHER WORDS, HAM ARE SECRETIVE), DO YOU THINK HE OR SHE MIGHT BE A HAM LATER
ON?

ONE THING YOU MUST REMEMBER, A HAM MUST BE HELPFUL AND READY TO SERVE THE
PUBLIC IN ANY CASES WHICH HE MIGHT BE.
+ A LOT OF NEW FRIENDS AND CONTACT.

ANYWAY I FEEL THIS IS A VERY GOOD NEWS GROUP TO GAIN ALL THE KNOWLEDGE AND
EXPERIENCE.



I agree with Mohd Nazry Bin Mustapa that there is no membership
requirement implied just to share information. If there were I would not
be here since I am not a Ham, just an engineer who has had FCC
certification for repair of radio equipment. 1st class + radar for
marine work. I am however a very enthusiastic SWL buff and have been
using only American equipment since the 50s'. I like to pick up some
tips when relevant and may even say something once in a while, not
often, but this discrimination thing has to go.
Radio is for fun, not ego.
