I think it's too bad that Dwight is getting out of Ham radio.

Is he REALLY...?!?!

I know this will be a dead and forgotten subject by then, but his current
license expires in 2008. I bet he renews it.

Furthermore, if he's REALLY trying to make a statement, let's keep an eye
on QRZ. I say if he has a "point" to make, he writes "CANCEL" across the front
of it and sends it back to Gettysburg.

I say he DOESN'T do THAT.

That's the nice thing about an Amateur Radio license...even if it doesn't
fit your needs or interests "for now", you can keep it in your pocket and you
have it if you need/want it.

Some grandstand play about "I'm getting out of Ham Radio" is just
that...grandstanding. I wonder what the REAL underlying reason is...

In the VHF newsgroup, Dwight simply stated personal reasons. He did not say
he was trying to make any "statement".

All statements must be submitted to the Yell Yell Marine.

HE will judge their merit.

He said that here, too.

But people who make a point of announcing thier departure are seeking
attention for some reason. (eg: people who swallow a "handful" of "pills"
then call 9-1-1 to announce what they have done...)

Like I said...we'll see what happens. I say he'll be "around" Amateur
Radio for a long time.

I didn't make a point of "announcing" my departure, Steve. It was simply
mentioned in the messages about the auctions to explain the reason for the
sale of those items. When people see a lot of similar items being sold by an
individual, why is often the first question asked.


(eg: people who swallow a "handful" of
"pills" then call 9-1-1 to announce what

Well, since I swallowed "all" the "pills" (all my ham equipment is gone),
it's a little late to call 911 or anyone else. :-)

And, with that, I have really got to go. Take care.

Sure you did. It's right here.

It was simply
mentioned in the messages about the auctions to explain the reason for the
sale of those items. When people see a lot of similar items being sold by an
individual, why is often the first question asked.

And why would it be anyone's business? Just say "no longer need this item
for my current activities".

(eg: people who swallow a "handful" of
"pills" then call 9-1-1 to announce what
they have done...)

Well, since I swallowed "all" the "pills" (all my ham equipment is gone),
it's a little late to call 911 or anyone else.

I am sure the guy who bit over $400+ dollars for used equipment that he
could have gotten new for less is wondering what pills HE can swallow.

And, with that, I have really got to go.

Step lively.

Take care.

Always.

People often want to know why a piece of equipment is being sold,
i.e., why don't you want it anymore?

So you gave a reason. But Nooooooo! There has to be an _underlying_
reason!!!

Hi, hi, hi.

A complete, raving lunatic!

Stewart, if you don't feed the troll it might die of starvation.

Dunno about that...we've kept you on a diet lately and you are just
getting fatter.

True. I got a inactive ham re-interested in HF over field day. He
hadn't done anything for years. But PSK31 got his attention. He won't
let it lapse now.

Some grandstand play about "I'm getting out of Ham Radio" is just
that...grandstanding. I wonder what the REAL underlying reason is...

Maybe cause we're all mean? ;^)

I wouldn't read more into his post than he wrote. The conspiracy
theorists probably think he had a "REAL underlying reason" to get into
the service as well. Pffft.
