Drive by the tavern... tune past the CBers? ;-)

I suppose amateur radio is supposed to be more a high-class dining
establishment than a dinner -- suit, tie, and official FCC-approved membership
required --, although these days you wouldn't necessarily know it from
listening to the airwaves.





Hmmm:

You mean you can quickly tell the difference from some self-important,
self-worshiping, self-impressed, carried-away-with-oneself personality
as opposed to one considering himself/herself to being a
student-of-the-world? And, your final implication being, "This group of
amateurs is full of the former?"

You present a most interesting observation! in-a-contemplative-state
