A heart felt thank you to all that replied.

I guess my opinion that "Amateur Radio Service is not an essential element
in our society" was incorrect. I appreciate all that took the time to show
me where I was wrong. I stand corrected.

Re-reading my origanal post, I seem to have come off as a bit of an idiot.
I
think maybe I should have taken things a little slower.

And once again, thanks for the gerat advice.



That's OK. Never be afraid to make mistakes or "look like an idiot". You
have to take such risks to learn things in the real world. That's not
limited to ham radio either.
