Well, my 7 yr. old lass made five QSO's today during Kid's Day, two of them
were CW contacts. So QSL cards go out today for the "young'un" who managed to practice enough over the past few weeks to pound out my call, her name, favorite color, age, QTH and wrap it up with a not-too-shabby 73. (I helped w/her copy tho.) http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/kd-rules.html I couldn't have asked for a better Father's Day gift. -- Vy 73 de Bert WA2SI FISTS #9384/CC #1736 QRP ARCI #11782 |

Today millions, if not close to a billion, or more, children accessed
the internet. They accessed data in a range too large to describe--they instant messaged and chatted with children on every continent of the globe... literally without barriers... .... the amount of knowledge entering young minds is staggering to the consciousness ... and this is progress at its' finest... radio pales in what it has done to offer such opportunities and advantages and feels it has no obligations or responsibilities to move in such productive directions--or, at least the "high priests" in control at this time do...

Johnnyboy, with the way you seem to hate ham radio and those who participate, why don't you just turn in your license and go back to the 'freeband'? |

Commandeer Buzzard:
Still in training to be a "master of the personal attack", huh? Puzzled why it inspires disgust rather that respect? My post is a statement of fact--no attack, it would only feel like that to someone who had some personal interests in mind... John "Cmd Buzz Corey" wrote in message ...

It pains me to even acknowledge you--but I pity you and your juvenile attempts at gaining attention... even to the point of provoking negative acknowledgements...

They accessed data in a range too large to describe--they instant messaged and chatted with children on every continent of the globe... literally without barriers... They can't do both ?????? ie computers and radio ..... ... the amount of knowledge entering young minds is staggering to the consciousness ... and this is progress at its' finest.. Maybe but a better answer would come from someone 50 years from now ... perspective you know ..... .. radio pales in what it has done to offer such opportunities and advantages and feels it has no obligations or responsibilities to move in such productive directions-- John perhaps you could fill us in on what you have done to furthur your concept of this service to younger people .. I hope you have had some young ones over the house to see your station ....or given a talk to the Scouts ....or been involved with the local club for a no-code course. or, at least the "high priests" in control at this time do... Warmest regards, John OK John you have finally convinced me ...I am going outside with the bolt cutters and take down my antenna ...I will put all 5 rigs on E-Bay tomorrow .... while I am at it all my radio tools and parts will go also ....same goes with all my radio books I have collected throughout the years as they are now obsolete .... the keys will be melted down into paperweights ..... the 3k plus that went into a new radio room will be turned into a storage area ....... all radio software will be deleted .......Now at last my mind is free to get on the internet to read spam, delete porno and listen to your mindless pontifications on this "new protocol". 73 oh wait no ...... see you on this group ...... KI3R oh wait ........ I need to get a new internet handle ....... and burn my vestments .... but wait I am not in control ..... |
