Wow, you guys must have been part of the most ignorant group of
individuals ever put on this earth using the most crappy computers and
equipment. All the computers crashed? Wow, how could that have happened?

I am surprised that the newbies are still using ham radio after hanging
around with you dinos. Computers broke down and you could not help fix
them. That's right, the computers don't run on tubes and that is the
extent of your knowledge as dinos.

Now anyone that uses PSK knows that you can work a station that you
cannot hear with the human ear. Anyone that knows CW knows that you
have to hear CW in order to copy it. So as a dino, you are showing your
ignorance of technology and probably have never heard, seen or used PSK
or you would never have made that statement.

My Field Day group had a good laugh when I pointed out your message to
them. They said you obviously don't know what you are talking about -
at least concerning anything modern.

So you old, used up, worthless dinos laughed at the newbies, belittled
them, and you could not fix or use anything modern. And you think those
newbies are going to stick with ham radio? Probably not. Old thinking
buggy whip hams like yourself need to stay locked in your shacks talking
only with other dinos about your illnesses and the like, and stay away
from the younger technology savy crowd as they might be really
interested in ham radio and your old crap is going to scare them away.

They don't want to learn about buggy whips when they are interested in
driving a modern car - get it old timer?

I know you're right.

They where doing great until the computers crashed then the new hams
looked at us old hams, blank stares on their faces wondering what to do.
They thought Field day was over at the point. Then us dino's took over
and showed them what ham radio really was. Some nickle extra's even said
they were going practice building their code skills again. They saw you
can work stations on code that you can't work on phone or PSK31. We
taught them how to solder on PL-259s and tune portable antenna & trim wire
antennas.

We laughed when they lifted up the tri-bander and then had to take it down
again to connect up the coax. That was funny.
