That is two female radio amateurs (Kim and my wife) saying the opposite of
what you claim. So exactly where are all those YL radio amateurs you claim
are offended by Kim's callsign, Larry?


Nor am I offended but I do question the good sense of a person who would
pick a designation that would/could lead to misunderstandings and
misinterpretations.


Dee:

I believe that is precisely what Riley Hollingsworth was addressing in his
response to Kim's E-mail. There are certainly some people with bad
enough taste and judgment to not be "offended" by Kim's call sign, but
that hardly accommodates all possible perceptions. My perception of
her call sign is that it was chosen to purposely place a vulgar, sexualized
image of YL hams "in the face" of her fellow hams, and worse, the faces
of prospective hams who may not share her libertine philosophy regarding
the image of the female form, hers in particular. This is supposed to
be a family-oriented hobby/service, and I don't believe such an image as
Kim is imposing on the whole of the ARS is the correct one. Therefore,
unless and until she decides to change her call sign, she will remain the
object of my outspoken disapproval. How long this continues is totally
up to her.
