Armature radio's threat from within
I'm currently listening to 7.070Mhz. The time is 19:20EDT
I find the operations by some licensed amateurs and perhaps a pirate station is just appalling. Operators and I use the word loosely, making threats at each other, whistling over each other and discussing tracking operators down to sort them out! It sounded like the 27Mhz CB band back in the mid seventies. I can remember when amateurs took pride in their operating practices and gentlemanly behaviour. If this what it is to become why would anyone be attracted to the hobby unless perhaps they are an ignorant thugs. It appears to me and I know I will be condemned for this, but we seem to have accepting lower standards in more ways than we expected. I believe that simply ignoring these operating practices and these operators will allow segments of the bands to become no go ghettos. A completely unacceptable and un-Australian outcome. I also believe that the looming threat to this great hobby come from within as mach as from outside forces, and there fore suggest that something akin to intruder watch be applied to monitoring amateur operations as I think the authorities response will be that we need to self regulate. I am offering this observation for discussion and we be keen to see what others think! Cheers Peter VK3YSF |
