I hope they enjoy my tunes: LOL!!!, the 60's 70 are over big guy ;) 1) Washington Post March 2) Anchors aweigh 3) The Thunderer 4) The Stars and Stripes Forever (my favorite) I've got others on CDs. From all of the services. Funny, but I have a feeling that they will be clamoring for "regulation" all of a sudden :)) With all due regards from Rochester, NY Jim AA2QA Oh Yeah................ Go to hear from You Jim. Landshark Hello, Sharkie My bad. I meant 700 watt system - not something from the 70s LOL. All Bose speakers. A couple hundred watts on the bass alone (and it does shake, although I keep the volume down). Good to hear from you too. I'm not really mad, just disappointed that folks don't understand the need for regulation. I have a dog and she stays in the house for the most part. When I have her out, if she barks more than a few times, I bring her in. The neighbors don't need to hear a dog barking for 20 minutes or more. I know the feeling. I also know, neighbors should work things out rather than call the police over such trivial things. Same thing with the stereo system. Heck, I've made a mistake in the past. Had a party with the Hammond turned up pretty well (as well as the Leslies) and the cops showed up. I apologized and shut it off. Never done that since (and that was 25 years ago). No biggie; anyone can make a mistake. Know the feeling :) I had my cousins out last year, Thursday night and was out in my backyard 2 minutes past 10, started heading into the house and they came a running out and said the music was keeping their kid awake. Went over the next morning, Six pack & bottle of wine in hand as an apology, the wife says "oh you were keeping me awake". I mean, it's not like I do this but once every 3 years, show a little patience., I do when they start firing off fireworks into the air, midweek after 10pm. 73 from Rochester, NY Jim AA2QA Landshark -- Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. |
Hmmm, construct a HERF... that'll keep the neighbors busy...

By the ARRL own statistics, ham radio is dying Well, shrinking, anyway. The total number of US hams is down slightly from the peak of a few years ago, while the total US population continues to grow. But I would note that the shrinkage occurred *after* the April 2000 reductions in both Morse Code and written testing for all available license classes. IOW, making the licenses easier to get in 2000 did not result in sustained growth. Looking further back, examine the growth from 1990 or 1991 to 2000. (1990 is when medical waivers made it possible to get any amateur license with a 5 wpm test, and 1991 is when the Technician lost its code test. Then compare the growth in that 9 year period to the growth in an equal period of time before 1990 or 1991. You'll find that the overall increase in the '80s was *greater* than in the '90s. 73 de Jim, N2EY |

IOW, making the licenses easier to get in 2000 did not result in sustained growth. Two questions: 1) Is this shrinkage due to... a. Less new applicants b. Increased attrition 2) Are easier tests the cause of the shrinkage... a. Yes b. No dit dit (Note Farnsworth spacing) de Hans, K0HB |
