Oh brother. Now Twisty's on a Dave Hall kick again....


He loves me, what can I say? I guess all of the psychological evaluation
hit home, just a little too close for him. I guess he wants more. But
I'm not playing any more. There's nothing in it for me......

I take offense to the "holer than thou" attitude displayed by many hams
toward Cbers. They flaunt their "superior equipment" and tell the CBers,
to get ham licenses, and then are the first to complain to their ham
buddies, that the reason the ham bands are going to pot, is because of
all the CBers that are moving up there.
Ham radio and CB radio are both communications services. Both offer
their respective users with a forum for enjoyment. Each service has it's
own unique appeal that is not duplicated on the other. Ham radio is full
of serious discussions and one can learn alot from just listening. On
the other hand though, a constant diet of technobabble gets VERY boring
fairly quickly. CBers are less technical, and as a result, are more like
talking to "regular" people. Topics are more varied, and you can "fool
around" without fear of upsetting the "kilocycle kops", and have more
fun.

You're correct, Train. I should have clarified, "Remember when certain
people were cool before they became hypocritical hammie cops?"

It still makes them jerks!

I hear folks trying out many different frequencies and modes on ham.
I still need to get an all-mode 6 meter radio... Anyone got an RCI5054?

Yuck! Why not just get a used Icom 706? They can be had for $400 or
less, and they are much better designed and built than an RCI (glorified
CB).



I'm getting a feel for things. Big hamfest this weekend.
My HT better come back from repair real soon.
