Default Amateurs used to be something special.

Ham radio is HOPLESSELY OBSOLETE Bunkie !
It used to be a big thing 20 or 30 Years ago when
the local ham could talk halfway around the world
right from his basement or spare room ham shack.

Today you have 10 year olds doing the same thing
thru Broadband and ISDN links via a computer.

Ham Radio is NOT NEEDED ANY MORE. Get that
thru the iron plate in yer head and you'll sleep better.



That's what the no-codes thought before the hurricane Nawlings. All them
welfare hams couldn't communicate, until the 20wpm Extras got things going
for them again.

Now get your lazy ass back to CB before Markie sends you a turd, or
RadioGuy starts humpin your leg.
