One of the Chosen speaks (the same old repetitive drivel)
Hans,
You've missed the point which is that we are in a privileged position as the result of our educational achievements. Allowing the standard represented by those achievements to fall such that turnip-brained CBers are perceived as our fellows is the route to Company-Built (CB) rigs only, and our hard-earned right to build our own gear will be lost. It's not a question of snobbery, but one of preserving the world of _REAL_ Ham Radio. KØHB wrote: "Pierian Spring" wrote A number of potential recruits are in great danger of being misled into thinking that they are Radio Hams when, in fact, they are nothing of the kind! As it is the season of goodwill, let us show our goodwill by saving these poor deluded fools from the mischievous ne-er-do-wells who will attempt to mislead them. (Radio Hams are technically-motivated people and not merely turnip-brained button pushers like CBers and like M3/CBers) The Wise Ones live in the depths of the D, E, and F-Layers, and in the servers at Yahoogroups.com. They are the descendants of the Gods. I personally subscribe to the theory they are the children of Thor Heyerdahl, the Viking god of Thunder and Balsawood Raft Dxpeditions. But that's another story. |
