Most UK Amateurs are horrified that their airspace is being invaded by these "CB type lowlife" (their words not mine) which suprises me as i firmly believe anyone gaining their M3 licence would go on to Intermediate... etc not stop there Yes, one would think so. That is what our Novice license was for, an entry type of license, nothing real hard on the test, only 5wpm for code, limited power and not all frequency privileges. so i cant see why the "old hams" arent encoraging them rather than belittling them. It seems that is often the position taken not by just 'old hams' today, but by some of those who do upgrade. Kinda like how as a freshman in high-school you were looked down on by upper-classmen. It didn't use to be that way. When I had my Novice ticket, I probably worked more General and higher class licensees on the Novice bands because they would come to the Novice frequencies and work us, sending code slowly and carefully to encourage us to get proficient enough to upgrade. Amateur radio used to be very gentlemanly, still is for the most part but seems amateur radio has begun to reflect much of today's rude society. |

"Not-Ham" Hull is otherwise known as "THE INCURABLE CBER",
one of the CBers-Masquerading-As-Radio-Hams who infest this NG. Some years ago he was abusing his employer's computer system to heap offensive and insulting remarks at me, an abuse to which I took exception and complained. Not-Ham has proved himself to be infantile in the extreme by maintaining a temper-tantrum on the matter for years on end. If only he could see that I saved him from himself......in today's world, such abuse of an employer's computer system is a sacking offence!

John,
Thank-you for your kind words. It must be difficult, however to navigate through the QRM of false Polymaths who are infesting this NG. (I note that a rather silly and infantile CBer has already replied to you as Polymath) For some reason, despite taking a stance of encouraging all comers to exert themselves and join in what is an exciting technical pursuit, I am plagued with quite a few mental defectives who forge postings, amongst other things. I really do not understand the infantile mentality of them, for, if they were to put the same effort into pursuing Ham Radio that they do into their childish attacks, they'd find life much more rewarding! There was something from you in my in-tray, however I delete all unsolicited emails - if something comes up as the result of the NG then the place to discuss it is in the NG. Thanks again and 73.
