NO...
It IS your intention to insult them, just behind their backs so you run less risk
of them replying. Your post was not really intended as an "FAQ", it was purely
a relatively "safe" release for your personal anger.
Wuss.


Polymath,

Just thought I would let you know, since almost all your replies come from the
CB crowd, that at least on this side of the pond, someone agrees with you. The
continuing "dumbing down" of license requirements will be the death of Ham
Radio. Unfortunatley, it's a side effect of the overall dumbing down of the
entire educational system. Teachers are not allowed to flunk a student, or even
criticize, for fear that the poor student's "self esteem" will suffer. If a
student makes a gross error, the response is, "I can see where you get your
answer, and it is very good, how about considering some alternatives?" Instead
of, "Sorry, you're wrong, go read the f*cking book!"

Keep it up, don't let the ignorant ******* get you down.

John W2AGN (unlike most of your gutless responders, not afraid to identify myself)

What is Ham Radio?

Ham Radio is a hobby for the type of people who would be in local
government but got thrown out for not being progressive enough. If your
favourite hobby is hosting a committee or writing a new regulation then
this is the hobby for you.

To be a "proper" radio amateur you agree with one or more of the following :

1) I've voted Tory all my life
2) Im Over 50
3) Im Buracratic
4) I smoke a pipe or cigar
5) Im not a racist, I just don't like
-Foreign people
-People who speak differently
-People who are not the same colour as me

6) HF is the one true mode, real radio doesn't use a microphone
7) In my day it was all CW *yawn*
8) Repeaters are for morons
9) Dam young people, fools the lot of them ra ra ra ! Join the RSGB ...
10) Data isn't a 'real' mode
11) Whats wrong with the licence as it is - I see nothing wrong.
12) You should have a NOV for anything that hasn't already been excluded
by the licence
13) Nothing interesting happens above 30Mhz
14) I know all about computers, thats why I hate them
15) I'm a **** hot designer - my radio was designed by a small yellow man
with more skill than me, but im not angry (see 5)
16) I make my own wire antennas that makes me an RF designer
17) People with less skill than me are worthless

If you identify with this then this is the hobby for you. But hurry, be
quick - when all the stupid old ****ers have died out then nobody will be
left ...........

following :

I'm going to take your test...


1) I've voted Tory all my life

Nope. In fact, I haven't voted for a long time.


2) Im Over 50

Nope.


3) Im Buracratic

Absolutely not.


4) I smoke a pipe or cigar

Wrong again.


5) Im not a racist, I just don't like
-Foreign people

Not true. I know several, and I like them. I also enjoy DX.


-People who speak differently

Not a problem.


-People who are not the same colour as me

What "colour" would that be ?


6) HF is the one true mode, real radio doesn't use a microphone

I find HF more interesting than higher frequencies, because it allows me to
communicate with people across the globe. CW is my favorite mode, but that
doesn't mean I think there's anything less "real" about other modes.


7) In my day it was all CW *yawn*

Actually, it was. When I got my license, CW was all I was allowed to do.
And it was really interesting, too.


8) Repeaters are for morons

They ARE ? How come ?


9) Dam young people, fools the lot of them ra ra ra ! Join the RSGB

I don't have anything against young people. As a matter of fact, I live
with a couple of those and I frequently meet other kids.


... 10) Data isn't a 'real' mode

It's real. But to me it's not all that interesting.


11) Whats wrong with the licence as it is - I see nothing wrong.

Me neither. So what IS wrong with it ?


12) You should have a NOV for anything that hasn't already been
excluded
by the licence

What's a NOV and how can I get one ?


13) Nothing interesting happens above 30Mhz

Not true at all.


14) I know all about computers, thats why I hate them

I know a lot about computers, I work with them for a living. And that is
one of the main reason for my interest in ham radio.


15) I'm a **** hot designer - my radio was designed by a small yellow
man with more skill than me, but im not angry (see 5)

Completely wrong.


16) I make my own wire antennas that makes me an RF designer

I might make my own antennas, but that doesn't make me anything. It might
make my radio function better, tho.


17) People with less skill than me are worthless

Only when they behave as if they know everything.


If you identify with this then this is the hobby for you.

Obviously, it's not the hobby for me, then. So how come I'm staying at it ?


But hurry, be quick - when all the stupid old ****ers have died out
then nobody will be left ...........

Nobody are more helpful than those "stupid old ****ers" so that will be a
sad day.
