blimey someone understanding my posts its a miracle
as said i dont want to denigrste the hard work and achievements of fully licensed hams,just see the need for a more fun less or unlicensed side again like pmr446 using low power in rest of eurrope you have such a band of 69 channels in middle of 70cms,and indeed some people use such in uk already,males sense to allow its use in UK trouble is of course 70 cms is MOD as well of course and they are rspidly taking more and more spectrum for barracks/us bases and other high sec location regards,pAUL "John Smith" wrote in message ... PB: In reading your post, I was able to get the gist of it... You are on the right track there... "fixes" are now being applied, have patience, the "berlin wall of radio" begins to fall... John "PromaBoss" wrote in message ... thats whjy i beleive in a free system for those who dont wish ot build or repair legailse 2 metres/70cms maybe only single freqs not repeaters for anyone who wants to,a licence to purchased but no need to learn morse and other things,so ok still a liocence nbut make it easier then the other liocences for those who require more. and why insult cbers all the time again i have known many a good cber and many a bad one seems like you want to just have ham radio to a few in th clique things will change regardlss OFCOM really does not want the hassle of loking after any two way radio,least alon ameteur,it wants more of a free for all on all bands. i disagree with much of OFCOMS ideas but ham radio ifd its going to survive needs to welcome more people regardless of abackgoind and abiklities i fail to see why i should know how to put an aerail together or solder something when all i want to do[not really just hypothetixcally] is speak into it to contact someone else. "Polymath" wrote in message ... Ham Radio has a well-regarded position in society as the nest from which the engineers of the country fledge; but what is its position today; and, do we wish to do anything about that tradition? 1. We have a privileged position in that we are authorised both to make and also to operate our own transmitters. No-one else has the privileges of both and hence we are in a unique position. Do we wish to preserve this status quo, or, are we happy that our numbers are increasingly over-run by CB types, by which category I mean those who buy their rigs ready-made off-the-shelf and even send them back when minor repairs are needed? 2. Ham Radio has traditions of international gentlemanliness, but you might think otherwise from reading these NG. The foul-mouthed infantile temper tantrum is an increasing problem, and, as such, it reflects badly upon us. Do we wish this to continue, or should we set ourselves firmly apart from such people AND REFUSE EVEN TO DISCOURSE WITH THEM, THESE CHILDISH BROADCASTERS (CBERS), IN THESE NG? 3. The self-styled "national" society, in Britland at least, is going through a financial crisis as the _REAL_ Radio Hams leave in their droves when faced with an influx of what can only be described as CBers. (How else can you describe a 6-year-old licensee who does not have the mathematical skill set to deal with decimals, let alone the elementary transpositions that are necessary to deal with Ohm's Law?). Do we wish to have a society that represents the technical aficionado that is the _REAL_ Radio Ham? In short, do we simply stand by whilst the Mongolian Hordes of Ne'er-Do-Wells destroy what we and out predecessors have setup? |

Reg:
My mother used to know the right words to bring me to my senses, she must have told ya how to do it... Naaa, just poking a bit of fun Reg (just wish more of these guys had a darn sense of humor!), darn amateurs here are more afraid of CB'ers than California DiamondBack Rattlesnakes or Black Widow Spiders. Some of those "good 'old buddies" are a hoot, quite fun to chat with actually.
