Got a ham here that's blind, won't work, wants everything handed to
him, spent his HF radio money on a new computer, canceled his high speed internet because he couldn't afford it (spent his wad on the new computer) and wants someone to give him a record player so he can make his records into CD's. He's told us on 2 meters, his only band, that he worked once, didn't like it, and won't do it again. He brags about all the stuff the state will get him (didn't pan out!!!). He gets up at 4:30 in the morning just to talk to the folks driving to work. I laugh my ass off when one of the guys brags about the HF contacts he makes while driving. He won't buy a used HF radio because he bought a used radio once and it had some problems. I've bought broken 2 meter stuff cheap, fixed it and sold it. I picked up a broken IC-2100 and fixed it with a part from a broken HTX-212. I kept the IC-2100. Maybe you should have a talk with him. Oh yeah, he's one of those hams that bought himself a vanity callsign, too. You two should see each other eye to eye! He's an atheist that always says, "God bless America" at the end of the old farts net when he's net control, that hypocrite!!! it's nice to be back to work... and have money for a change... I'm glad I have technical skills... |
