Default The ATU, a dying art?

...
yes you are baiting as you are the master baiter.
serious question though.
why would an amateur use a limited tx unit they have built themselves with
a limited frequency range and possibly not harmonically sound against a
stable fully featured commercial unit from the big 3 or others ?
you listen about on hf and very few if any use a homebrew
transmitter--fact.
your argument falls apart evans.
you just use the term cber as a derogatory swipe against those that have a
foundation or intermediate licence.
you are a blight on the hobby and should remove yourself now.


I'm not sure that I used the description in the FAQ, although I certainly
did proscribe their use of gratuitous abuse, but there is a class
known as a, "CBer-masquerading-as-a-radio-amateur",
exemplified by the material quoted above.

Being a CBer-masquerading-as-a-radio-amateur is usually indicated by
a complete lack of understanding of what amateur radio is all about, also
as exemplified by the material quoted above.

The possession of Foundation* and Intermediate** licences when held by
grown -ups for more than the few weeks it would take a _GENUINE_
enthusiast to progress to the next level by his inherent technical
interest and self-education is a guaranteed indication of
a CBer-masquerading-as-a-radio-amateur

* Targetted at 5-year-olds, AKA A Fools' Licence when held by grown men

** Targetted at 10-year-olds, AKA An Idiots'' Licence when held by grown men
