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"!)

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.
