I lived with hams on a DXpedition, last May (2003). All hams, a high
percentage
which were overweight.

Hi Vipul. So you extrapolate that to hams as a whole?

I am not "extrpolating" from just one experience. I have been to many
hamfests, ham radio meetings, field day setups, etc. I have noticed that about
most hams.

Yeah.... same old same old.


FWIW, in my club, there are no obese members. I'm probably one of the
heaviest members, but most of my mass is other than fat.

So my experience at least defies Vipul's.

Perhaps, they follow me?

Currently have other priorities than to attend clubs meetings, Hamfests
(although I may be able to fit some of those in my schedule), etc. So, I don't
know right now.

I will have to try to check out Field Day and see what the demographics are.

I seriously doubt that Amateur Radio has "enrolled" the "preety fems" you
are stalking, Vippy.

HOWL! I'm getting these images of fat ugly people stalking you, chasing
you around, Vipul! Not a pretty image mind you, but a very funny one!

Actually I had visions reminiscent of the angry villagers hunting down the
Frankenstein monster in the 1930's movie...Sickles, sythes, torches...you get
the picture!

Hehe. Remember we're amateurs, so maybe the villagers in "young
Frankenstein"?
