given their emotional ages, and so the cesspit against which
they rail continues to be fed with their own effluent.

The _REAL radio amateur understands the innards of his rig
down to the last rheophore, whereas the CBer-masquerading-as-a-radio-amateur
fails to understand even the difference between sideband and sidetone.

The arrival of the general purpose computer opened up the possibility
to _REAL_ radio amateurs of doing their own programming, but, sadly,
although the computer is to be found in many shacks, the programs therein
have largely been of the Cheque book (CB) variety, making even the
traditional _REAL_ radio amateur indistinguishable from the
CBer-masquerading-as-a-radio-amateur for large parts of his shack.


I'm eager to work in the area; anybody out there with relevant experience?
