Nope Oddly enough, virtually all the "extras" I met during my tenure as a "non-extra" didn't consider themselves Einsteins either. Now that I'm an Extra, I do not consider myself an Einstein either. It seems that only a small subset of hams (and non-hams) who post to this forum seem to run into these self-proclaimed Einstein Extras. But then, if you read their postings long enough, you'll begin to understand that this bias towards Extras really isn't due to the fact these extras are self-proclaimed Einsteins, but rather the fact that these Extras passed a 20wpm code test at one point or another. 73 kh6hz Not at all. Your 20WPM code tape Extra License is irrelevant. When certain Extras tell me how to conduct my amateur life all the while scarfing up a bunch of "club" calls, DX calls, and vanity calls, then I see them as thinking they are somehow much more priveleged than the next guy, AKA they're smarter than everyone else because they "Got Over on The Man!" When a Coast Guard Extra Lecturer aids and abets the scarfing up and grabs one for himself, I have a problem with that, too. It's just a case of people telling others what to do while being inconsistent in their own lives... So get over yourselves. |
