The FCC should cancel Amateur Radio altogether. With the amount of hams
that are on the air these days, I wouldn't be surprised if Ham Radio is abolished within the next 50 years. Echolink is the future of Amateur Radio as we know it, folks. 73 Me "William" wrote in message om... "KØHB" wrote in message ink.net...

Unlike the Robeson clan, our branch of the human family tree has evolved beyond having tails, although it might come in handy to swing out to check the traps on my TH7. Would you consider hiring yourself out as a trap checker, as well as your day job as Len's little red-hatted organ monkey?

Echolink is the future of Amateur Radio as we know it, folks. 73 Me Hello me ????? oh well ....... Yepper you got that one right ....why put up a 5k antenna system, a 2K rig and then invite the ire of all the neighborhood when they say they see you on HBO ...... when they can't start their car in the morning or when their pets start acting goofy etc..etc ???? One can easily grab a mike an yell into a $400 computer with a $9.95 ISP and have a heck of a lot less aggravation. But so goes life as we know it here .....minimize the hassel but also minimize the "mental gymastics" that should keep our own computers working well. There are less ops on the air than in days gone by but that is also true in many other endeavors that I read about on the newsgripes. It appears that the computer or our life styles have caused many "hobbies-services" to take a hit. Take care me ...oh I mean you ....ah you know what I mean .... 73 Tom Popovic KI3R Belle Vernon Pa, |

Agreed. just go to Circuit City, Best Buy or CompUSA. Certainly cheaper
than building permits (if the Zoning board will grant you one), tower hardware, coax, antennas, etc... Ciao, ME "garigue" wrote in message news:nrYIc.69263$MB3.65916@attbi_s04...
