Subject: Who are the FISTS members on RRAP?
From: Robert Casey Date: 4/28/2004 6:59 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: KØHB wrote: "Robert Casey" wrote How many other hobbies require licenses to do the hobby? Model railroading doesn't have novices, techs, generals and extras. Or amateur astronomy. OK folks, you saw it first here! The founder of NLI. Nah, that's 11 meters. Nobody wants that mess on the ham bands. My point was to mention competing hobbies that do not require a license to do. Also an additional point I wanted to make was that we need to avoid excessive grades or levels of ham license. Most other "competing hobbies" don't have the potential to create havoc like an untrained, unlicensed person let loose with a radio transmitter that s/he doesn't know how to use properly. Most other "competing hobbies" with the potential to create a hazard to the public are either licensed or regulated by the government in some fashion (ie: hang gliding, SCUBA diving, motorcycle racing, etc.) And, unfortunately Robert, there ARE some people who would love to hear "that mess" on the Ham bands. They are few and for the most part, functionally illiterate, but they are there. (ie: WA8ULX) 73 Steve, K4YZ |
