"KØHB" wrote in message link.net... "N2EY" wrote Why is it "pathetic"? A significant number of hams are interested in "vintage" radio. Just like a significant number of people like antique furniture, classic cars, oldies music, past films and books, vintage clothing, etc. Doesn't mean they are "stuck in the past". They already have a monthly feature called "Old Radios" and "75/50/25 Years Ago", and now a special "Vintage Radio" issue each year besides? Maybe we could do a photo-feature of "The Girls of Geratol Net" with a centerfold for those of you who get off on old stuff. (Yes, Virginia, there really is a "Geratol Net"!) 73, de Hans, K0HB Are you aware of what the GERATOL net is all about? It doesn't sound like it from your post. They are an organization of and for Extra class amateur radio operators and promote usage of the Extra class band segments by an award program. The awards add difficulty to the pursuit since only stations worked in the Extra segments count for their equivalent of Worked All States, etc. It has nothing to do with age. Tuning through one evening, I came across the net. After hearing it was the Geratol net, I perked up. This might be worth a few minutes of weird fun, hearing about peoples bunions and hernia operations. Nothing! a regular net, except for one person who asked how anothers wife was doing. "much better thank you" was the answer, then went on to net business. Sunnavgun! - Mike KB3EIA - |
