What can we do to make it more attractive? -- 73, Cecil,http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp Sell diet plans and make-up kits at hamfests? :-) Get Jenny Craig to sponsor a ham gathering? Might help! Thing one - there never will be a huge number of hams. Thing two - I've seen firsthand the damage that the grouchy olde tymers can do. They chase people away. Old timers with an attitude are now the greatest danger to Ham radio. Putting together a station is fun. Talking around the world without a structure is fun. Learning about all that Radio encompasses is fun. Talking with friends old and new about radio is fun Fun, fun, fun, fun for everyone! Listening to someone bemoan CB'ers, nickle extras, and how their prowess in CW makes them superior, how Hams really had it hard in the old days, any idiot can become a ham nowadays, next thing yaknow, they will be giving licenses away on boxes of cereal type hams, and onandon is not fun. That type would be helping the ARS best by turning in their license. Or at least having the decency to keep their hate to themselves. - 73 de Mike KB3EIA - |
