... Clint, that's something that I agree with you 110% on. This type of attitude is not productive, and does nothing to further the cause of the hobby. Hoping that BPL will destroy Amateur Radio to spite the 'no coders' is a nonsensical position to take. Sour grapes, I believe, is the term for this type of thinking! 73, Leo It's like taking off your nose to spite your face... I love this hobby, it's a blast; it has so many avenues to pursue and so many different ways to enjoy it. I even like it because it adds to my shortwave listening pleasure! Why wish it destroyed? How horrible! The very reason I state the feelings I have to the controversial issues that are posted is because I feel, ultimately, that I would like to see as many potential hams come into this hobby as possible. I think a lot of people are constantly worried about the low calibur class of people that would flood the hobby; some, I think, are people that simply don't want just anybody coming into the hobby, but would rather see a small slice of the population that meets thier criteria join and nobody else. Both are negative for ham radio, because i'm sad to say, the first group I mentioned still wouldn't be willing to try to pass a written test and probably wouldn't be able to; as for the second group of potential hams I listed, well, there just won't be enough of them to keep ham alive. What do you have if you allow ham radio to stagnate? And leo, of this i'm serious.... you have a hobby that loses what little clout it has with the FCC because of DROPPING membership, and thus, we'll see MORE of our bands taken away that are above 30 megs (I am STILL ****ed off that we lost 220! And I understand that the U.P.S., that petitioned successfully to steal 220-222 megaherts away from the hams, don't even use it anymore!) God, let's work together and keep this going. You and I and many people in here may have our differences, but we're both ham operators and enjoy our hobby. Hell, leo, meet me on HF sometime and we'll have a ball. Clint KB5ZHT |
