Well, in this newsgroup as well as RRAM there's the usual self-praise of amateur radio for its "invaluable emergency work." :-) There must be a great deal of Conscience going on where hams aren't supposed to have FUN and ENJOYMENT out of their hobby. They have to endlessly rationalize among themselves that They are some kind of Minutemen of Emergency Communications, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice with superb, never-fail equipment to Save The Day! :-) Not likely. Some on RRAM aren't buying all that and are speaking truth. That's a very good thing, in my mind. [but Jimmie will spend hours at the keyboard teling me I'm all 'wrong' and 'mistaken' :-) ] I'm now INTO US amateur radio and intend to stay...as long as it remains a FUN HOBBY. If I wanted to DO emergency work, I'd go volunteer for such things with a recognized agency that actually DOES that sort of thing. Yesterday, the 13th of March, was the 55th personal anniversary of my being sworn into service with the United States Army. The reason for that volunteering was rather more SERIOUS at the time than playing around with radios in my spare time. Amateur radio just is NOT anywhere close to being that "serious" on a national or local scale. Amateur radio is basically a HOBBY, never anything more than that despite what all the chiefs and seniors of membership organizations say. At the start of this particular thread I put up some numbers about some amateur volunteers' efforts in exam testing and what other, numbers-oriented websites were showing was the result of all that. There was NO evidence then nor now on any "hordes of CB types" or "onslaught of no-coders" "suddenly filling the ranks (and, supposedly 'the bands'). What that really showed was only a slight bump in the status-quo of what all the self-proclaimed pro-coder gurus CLAIMED was going to happen. Yawn time. When I posted the first message on 7 Mar 07 I was not yet aware that the FCC had put me into the US amateur radio database. :-) Some others did later, which made me look again. Some of the "congratulators" (notably those pro-coders who think I'm a 'beginner' in radio) are now showing how hyprocritcal they really are... :-( No surprise to me since I had known of their traits long before. Most of this thread is filled with the usual filth and insults of the immature male kind who seem to have never out- grown their middle-school mentalities. That's a sad thing but we don't really know if those anony-mousies are at all INTO amateur radio. Nevertheless, I am INTO US amateur radio and intend to stay for a while...and also to speak my mind at MY discretion. :-) 73, Len AF6AY |

This newsgroup is not a representative sample of hams. So get on the air (if you haven't already) and have fun with the various modes and aspects of ham radio! 73 de WA2ISE |

Some long-time listening to the HF and 2m bands have shown me that. :-) When the new equipment arrives, I'll get busy re-arranging the home office for its new "radio room" function (at least in one corner). It may have to be with some #14 wire strung through the row of cypresses along one side of my property (for under 10m frequency bands) but that's life. :-) 73, Len AF6AY |

You're free to start a topic on something in which you have some experience or expertise if you feel that you can't contribute to a topic already under discussion. Maybe you could contribute some general knowledge of end fed antennas or begin a thread on the hows of DXing. Dave K8MN Dave, what I can't do on .Moderated is discuss the exploits of a world famous DXer working out of band Frenchmen on 6 meters. Though true, it is forbidden. |

You could certainly give it a try, hot-ham-and-cheese. I've seen nothing forbidding it. The only trouble is that you'd have to stick to civil conversation and you might have to stick to facts. In this case, you've stuck to innuendo. It has been repeatedly pointed out to you by me and others, that any station is responsible for his own operation under the regs of the country which has issued his license. Much of my conversation on this unmoderated newsgroup is civil, probably more civil than is deserved. What amateur rules require you to make contact with out of band Frenchmen on 6 Meters? |
