Get over it! Go back to your CW if you want, who bothers you or bags you
for using it, I know I certainly don't.

Thanks for bringing this up Mate!.

My major problem is folks refering to interconnecting "hams" over the
internet as "ham radio". Ham radio is R A D I O . Not INTERNET
connected to Nodes then to a radio somewhere. Call it whatever you want,
but it is NOT ham radio.


It is an H-T audio chat room, Dan.

As I said....call it whatever they want. But it ain't Ham Radio.

You really have some complex about what constitues Ham radio dont you.
Your so caught up in its definition, have you forgotten how to
actually enjoy the hobby ?

Let me ask, is a repeater on the ISS Hamradio ? We had to use
a rocket to get it up there, does that make it anything less worthwhile ?

When repeaters first started, I bet you said "thats not hamradio".

Digital modes use computers, does that make it any less Hamradio ?

Get over your complex and leave IRLP to those that want to use it
