In article om, "Dee D.
Flint" writes: That is two female radio amateurs (Kim and my wife) saying the opposite of what you claim. So exactly where are all those YL radio amateurs you claim are offended by Kim's callsign, Larry? Nor am I offended but I do question the good sense of a person who would pick a designation that would/could lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations. Dee: I believe that is precisely what Riley Hollingsworth was addressing in his response to Kim's E-mail. There are certainly some people with bad enough taste and judgment to not be "offended" by Kim's call sign, but that hardly accommodates all possible perceptions. My perception of her call sign is that it was chosen to purposely place a vulgar, sexualized image of YL hams "in the face" of her fellow hams, and worse, the faces of prospective hams who may not share her libertine philosophy regarding the image of the female form, hers in particular. This is supposed to be a family-oriented hobby/service, and I don't believe such an image as Kim is imposing on the whole of the ARS is the correct one. Therefore, unless and until she decides to change her call sign, she will remain the object of my outspoken disapproval. How long this continues is totally up to her. 73 de Larry, K3LT |
