I don't want to talk to some older males. Thats not anti-social.


If we go by your rules, it certainly is.


Its still consistent. Those Hams are on the radio, not in person. For example,
those Hams at the "DXpedition" contacted other (anti-social) Hams on Sat night,
but did not meet anyone in person.

That has nothing to do with the technical part of the hobby. The technical part
occurred during the antenna and equipment setup. There was plenty of operating
during the day, so operating on Sat night more represented the social aspect
more than any technical aspect. Therefore, this is how those Hams spent their
Sat night. Seems anti-social to me.

You didn't go on a DXpedition.


They called it a DXpedition.

Many Hams will work DX. They get a thrill from that. But, they won't talk

to
the person next door or to anyone in person.


Your record is stuck, Vipul. Your claim is simply another tired
stereotype offered without proof of any kind.


I gave an example above where the Hams contacted people through the radio, but
did not meet anyone in person. (Probably avoided it). This was not my local
club. It was a random group of Hams.
