It was hardly a rant. I agree that he stretched to make the connection with
code, but the point was quite clear. The major premise (and, I am NOT
commenting pro or con on this) is simply that learning code is an exercise
in discipline. The minor premise is that discipline is a Good Thing for
Hams.

I'd love to get a Car. Cyclone, but need someone to install it for me. Since
Jerry seems against doing that ... grin

You took a story about a lazy SOB of at least general class and turned it
into a pro code rant. So, the obvious conclusion from this would be that

As *some* of you know, I build and sell the Carolina Cyclone line of

It'd be a bit far from NC to "0* land, don't ya think.

Usually I don't do installs for the reasons stated. It has gotten so that
the "learning" part of ham radio has become
more memorize-the-answers-so-I-can-pass-the-test than
REALLY learning something about what is going on.
Incidently, the antennas come with clear instructions how to install and
maintain them.

Cheers :-)
