Crap like this is why I haven't gone for a ham license. I've worked in
real broadcast radio and thought about taking the amateur test, but I
have no desire to be in a hobby filled with childish old geezers.


Now careful there who you call an old geezer. I'm the same age as Winnie the
Poo, and I too take umbrage with all the childish crud foisted upon the
newsgroups by SC and others of his ilk. I'd be willing to place a wager that
the SOB (Not to be implied that his name is Sweet Old Bill), is under 50
years of age and more likely, under 30. Certainly his mental age (and
capacity) is less than any of my 6 great grandchildren and one of those is
still in the oven.

Give the ham ticket another go. It's a great hobby despite the best efforts
of that little publishing company in Connecticut, the QCWA and a few
disgruntled idiots that have to have some reason to think themselves better
than others even if it's only through an obsolete mechanical skill likely
teachable to a reasonably smart chimpanzee.
