The band segments are gentlemens agreements. Be a gentleman. I find the
agreement to be helpful, not a bad thing at all.

Are these the same "gentlemen's agreements" we enjoy on contest weekends?
Try to operate and NOT be in the contest!


Ahh. One of the most amusing things about some Hams is that they are such
control freaks that they demand other Hams behave exactly the same way.
Some great unwashed said "Roger" on your repeater. Quick - send him and
the FCC a letter telling him to stay off of it. Don't like ragchewing ? -
"Get those kids off my lawn!"

Maybe some of us a sick of righteous snobbery from guys who didn't get into
the hobby
until
after they made the license easy enough; then they shoot off their mouths
with
their lookatmeimanextraclass callsigns and act like they own the hobby.


Maybe open up on the Maritime net frequency. They have no more right to
that
frequency than you do. And since CW is a superior mode, shouldn't you have
precedence anyhow? What will eventually happen is that Once SSB Ops find
out it's a brave new world without any border, they'll move down into your
backyard, and any idea who will win that little range war?

Your adolescent humour is as weak as your attempt at satire. By the way,
yes, CW IS a superior mode. That's why newbies like yourself are so
threatened
by it.


I think it's great to have vintage enthusiasts to have a watering hole. I
wouldn't think that comments like :
vintage enthusiasts might listen with
the hope of finding someone running something other than Kensues or
YaeCOMs.

I thought that was a pretty great comment.


Make it sound like you look at it as some sort of elite group, and
possibly not very friendly, except to those who are worthy.

Just sayin'

There are a lot of us who in fact do not feel the litter of
ham pups are worthy. They've (you've) done nothing to prove you earned
anything much
less belong to a fraternity of others who had to do much more to join.
Maybe some us us just want to talk to a genuine ham operator instead of
shallow transparent pretenders.
