Kinda makes ya wonder....

You can forget about hams becoming more technical, that is a thing of the
past. Todays hams are strictly plug and play appliance operators, the most
technical they get now is how many push buttons are on the front panel and
how many memories in the radio. The best we can hope for is that the test
be geared such that they learn the rules and proper operating procedures.



It has always been so. I got on in 1961 and heard the same garbage.

Most hams are indeed plug and play specialists. But SOME of us actually
learn something.

As with everything else, it is up to the individual.

Some are, some aren't. I build everything I can, and a first class
techno-weenie. Rumors of the demise of the technical ham are greatly
exxagerated!

Yeah, very mature reply toddyboy. Now go try to build a dipole that
