Untrue, dangerously so. Amateur radio has always been a technical pursuit; the operator's hobby is CB Radio, and on the amateur bands are a large number of CBers masquerading as radio amateurs. That is no doubt what you would like to be true, and I have a lot of sympathy with that aspiration. But it is not in fact true, and there were always, at least since the 1960s which is what I know about, a large number of amateurs interested in operating (and often highly skilled and knowledgable about it) and not particularly interested in anything technical. Equally, a lot copied circuits without being much interested in the theory. So I simply do not agree with you about the facts, as opposed to preferences. I do very little selective operating and I am not interested in electronics or computing so where does that leave me ? .... It leaves you making your own choices, which are really no-one else's business; but it does make some of your criiitcisms of others looking a shade hypocritical, though. I would like to know what criticisms you mean.....please share I won't get annoyed .....honest FL too easy? well it must be ...so tell me why did the 11m pirates that couldn't do the RAE in around 1981 have wait until the fl to get on ham radio? ..... People not doing morse? that was their choice and I never complained about it until the FL and 7000 class Bs got what the wanted all the time and that was HF...... you can't argue with facts as demonstrated ...... |
