Amateur radio is primarily a technical pursuit with operating, if done at
all, coming
in second-to-last.

Those who operate only and who do not understand anything about the
internals
of their rigs, and even get someone else to mend them should they go wrong
are indistinguishable from CBers.

Those who really were dedicatd to the pursuit of amateur radio exerted
themselves
to pass the 12WPM Morse Test even if they had no interest in Morse.

Amateur radio is a pursuit for grown ups and not for children, except when a
child
has expressed interest, but without being pressured to up the political
reputation of its parent,
then they can be encouraged.

The three-tier-farce of the RSCB is just that, a farce, because anybody with
the right mental
attitude and interest would by their very interest teach themselves to the
level of the RAE.

Therefore, any grown man taking out an M3 or M6 licence is a loser and a
failure

In the current PC climate, those who go out of their way to encourage
children to join in
should cause eyebrows to be raised.

Those who cannot contribute to discussion here without the use of nasty
spiteful
personal remarks are Childish Broadcasting (CB) losers, and prove themselves
to
be losers and failures with every post that they exude.

The truth of what I say above will now be proven in the subsequent thread by
those
very losers and failures.

Antennae, propagation and launching into propagation from short antennae
are worthy
subjects that do not need the sneering of losers anf failures.
