They just appreciate different things. The hobby
has advanced greatly since the rotary spark gap.

Not having to take a test doesn't mean you can't
operate code; or did you misread the regs?

I don't remember,
cutting wood for winter, foraging the woods for berries,
turning the crank on a model T, building a spear to kill a deer,
washing my clothes in the river, making candles to light the night.
And I do appreciate that I don't have to do these things anymore.

I have helped cut wood for winter heating. I have also foraged for berries,
actually Granny knew where to look and took me along to help pick berries. I
have never hand cranked a model T, but have watched others do it (was tied
up with winter wood cutting, the "T" drove a belt with a rear axle wheel to
drive a large circular saw) I never did any of the other things listed, but
if Granny were still here, I'd bet she has and could describe the process.
Except the spear hunting, that was before Grannys time and on the other side
of the family.

It wasn't just the Model-T. I learned to drive
on a 37 Chevrolet. It had a crank hole just under
the grill.

I not only learned to drive on a 1924 Model T, I also cranked it, because that
model didn't have an electric starter. The first car I owned was a 1927 Chev.

I grew up with indoor plumbing, but both my maternal and fraternal grandparents
lived nearby, maternal 1 mile and fraternal 3 miles. Whenever visiting them,
which was often, I had to use the three-holer with paper from the Sears Roebuck
catalog.

Right, and why homebrew anymore when you can call HRO or AES and buy your
appliance off the shelf.

That's right, Cecil, the Sears Roebuck catalog came later. We first had brown
cobs and then a white cob to see if we needed another brown cob.

Hi Harold,
My point is, times change, peoples change, and if you want to cut wood,
pick berries, crank a model T, or spear hunt,
Have at it, but your not out telling everybody they need to.

You can't even get behind the steering wheel. The state took your
drivers license away 3 years ago after you hit that Monte Carlo while
you were drunk on cheap liquor. That was when your wife left you also.
