![]() "Steve Silverwood" wrote in message ... Forgive my rambling. Thanks for listening. Hope to have the privilege of a live QSO with you sometime! Thanks for all your comments, Steve. In recent years I've taught and helped out with several Tech-plus classes. Enjoy seeing the enthusiasm of the young people. Unfortunately, computers and the internet have grabbed away a lot of potential hams, and many of the new-license candidates are retirees who were interested in ham radio back when they were young, but never got the license. When the dx isn't around or I feel a bit lazy at night, I crank the code speed way down and go cq'ing where the remaining Novices and a lot of tech plus folks hang out. I usually send out an unsolicited QSL after a contact to the hams who sounds like they are just getting started. On voice, I don't "correct" those using CB jargon, but do try to set a good example. However, there was the old "Turkey Net" in Florida where non-conformist protocol was standard; a lot of joking around, but we didn't interfere with anyone and violated no rules. 73, Andy |
