In my book, the _REAL_ radio amateur is someone who relishes
a technical challenge and the route to solving it, an approach resulting
from an insatiable curiosity about how things work, in contrast to
the CBer-masquerading-as-a-radio amateur who is a non-technical
appliance operator.

Thus, it is the pursuit of a goal that is more rewarding than the goal
itself, and when one project is finished, apart from a short session
on the air to evaluate its efficacy, it is on to the next project. (In my
case, still keeping
a log book although no longer required to do so, I am only half way
through my second log book in 45 years of being licensed).

Some projects get to fruition quickly, for example my Chinese copy
of a Vibroplex, photos of which appeared in the GQRP SPRAT
magazine within a very few weeks of starting it, whereas others
may go on for years as the goalposts get shifted time and again!
