Yes ham radio is supposed to be camaraderie. People are supposed to
help
each other.
Then why don't they?
Because a lot of pro-coders would rather belittle
no-coders than help them?
More likely a knee jerk reaction to the very few but very vocal ones who try
to come in and act like they know all there is to know about radio when the
"ink isn't even dry on their license". It's unfortunate that the
experienced hams don't have the discipline to withstand this nonsense
without such knee-jerk reactions.
When a new licensee (the level of license is irrelevant) tells me that you
can't work DX without an amplifier, I just tell him about the countries I
worked with my 100 watt radio and relatively low mount G5RV. But some hams
turn bitter instead when a newbie insists that he is right and they are
wrong.
