When you real hams, sitting on your fat asses come out of your musty shacks

emergencies I'll have some respect for you.
Join an ARES or RACES group.. or even a Skywarn net.
Until then you are just a waste of bandwidth and good potato chips.





I am in both RACES and SKYWARN and just about puke every time some CB
reject say's "What's your 20?." I am forced to respond, "My location is
____, you jackass."

10 signals are obsolete and are being officially dropped by most police
departments in favor of plain English. The announcement has been all
over CNN and FNN. Apparently, police professional organizations and
Homeland Security have recommended that 10 codes be dropped, and most
police departments are about to comply.

The use of 10 codes will now be the offical mark of a backward operator,
just as we have always known.

Fine, then you losers don't come asking us to help you fix your radio's
after you break them. We got more important ham things we can be doing
than fixing a no-code hams broken radio.

Why am I wasteing my time brushing up on radio & electronic theory and
studying schematics when, apparantly, all I need is better cw skills to
enable me to fix my radios.

You need both to be a well balance operator. If you're willing and
motivated enough to be able to learn and communicate with CW, you're also
more likely to be motivated to advance yourself technically in other areas
of radio as well. You won't be one of those unmotivated no-code appliance
operators you hear on repeaters who spend their days kerchunking all the
machines in the area.

The purpose amateur radio is communications. Real HAMs can communicate
with CW and they also speak English, Spanish, and French. Those who can
only speak English are stupid, idiots, turkeys, and are only wimpy
HAMs. Real HAMs are also a little narrow minded, intolerant and
arrogant. If you are one of those open minded and tolerant people you
are not a real HAM and you are probably a liberal, left-wing,
homo-faggot.
