Default Field day was great, even the phonies had fun and learned fromus dinosaurs.

Slow Code, I think it is time you put up or shut up. If the skills among
you dinos were so great, then you had to finish at the top of your
category. So tell us now, what group were you part of, what section,
and what category did you compete in?

Then, when the results are published, we will compare your standings
with those other groups who had the modern, technically trained operators.

We'll see if the dinos are extinct or if modern humans have triumphed.

I know you're right.

These new modernized hams want everything to be easy just like flipping
the on-off switch on an appliance. We try and tell them that ham radio is
more than just operating an appliance, but they won't listen. Then when
murphy's law kicks in they don't know how to deal with it. I feel sorry
for them, but it's really not their fault that licensing has been dumbed
down over the years. The phonies did notice after we put the broken
computers in the dumpster that the bands sounded much better without all
the computer generated noise on their receivers. And their contacts per
minute increased. They realize now that when equipment fails it's nice to
have skills you can fall back on that will let you keep communicating.
Especially important during emergencies. Hams wouldn't look good if
during an emergency we couldn't communicate.

Even if only three contacts are made, the score isn't what's important.
What is important is showing and training new hams in how to communicate
and operate effectively during emergencies and not be Appliance operators.
Hams like you that worry about final score are more likely to cheat
because you choose to ignore or fail to see the things that are important.

I call B.S.! If you old, outdated methods of communication are so
superior, then you should have locked up the contest.

So, this means one of two things. 1.) you're not telling the truth, or,
2.) the old methods you claim are superior are really not and the new
"appliance operators" at other clubs using modern methods kicked your
collective butts.

I suspect that 1. is the truth and you did not participate in FD and
didn't teach any news hams anything. In fact, if you did participate in
FD, the "appliance operators" probably ran rings around you and
embarrassed you so bad, you had to create this story to save face.

Nice try, no one is buying the BS.
