Well lets see if these Ham Radio QSO's that I have had -- would be of
interest to you: 1. A QSO with a Navy dirigible crew member -- flew in the 1930's airships. 2. A QSO with an archeologist in the Central America -- just discovered new ruins. 3. A WWII Luftwaffe pilot - flew a ME-109 4. QSO with a Swedish Ham -- we talked about Soloman Andre's balloon flight to the North pole -- in 1897 5. A QSO with a British soldier in the Falklands -- we talked about Shackletons ordeal in 1908 and the Falkland war 6. An anthropologist in New Guinea -- we talked about a tribe there that was virtually in the stone age 7. A missionary in the Amazon -- we talked about the tribe he was helping 8. A chap in Australia that was in the outback studying the aborigines 9. A Russian officer in an arctic weather station --- brrr -- we talked about the incredible working conditions there Lots more "boring stuff" If the above is of no interest to you I suggest you have very limited interests. -- Caveat Lector (Reader Beware) Help The New Hams Someone Helped You Or did You Forget That ? "Bathrooman" wrote in message ups.com... For more than 50 years, some hams have been yelling "Ham Radio is Dying!" "Ham Radio is Dying!" They came up with all kinds of bright ideas. Incentive licensing...school clubs...extra-easy study guides...dumbing down the licensing tests...no code licenses...on and on. Why do some hams believe ham radio is dying? They are bored with the hobby themselves! They put together some equipment, strung up antennas, exchanged signal and weather reports, chased certificates, collected QSL cards and after a few years or more of this they ask: "Is this all there is?" Bah Humbug...yup that's about all it is. So what? What more do you want it to be? |
