A number of the posts that have been quoted as this

Sorry to say it Mr Font but..... radio Amateurs will soon no longer exist.
Amateur band is the new CB so you need to move to another hobby to make way
for us. Try flower arranging, im sure it will calm you down .

good post

My add to your sugestion that idea that the flowers should prehaps be
oriental popies, they can be VERY c,laming if habdled correctly

The deranged **** has tried to start a war in uk.rec.scouting with a
posting in the name "Michael Garner-Superlative" likening the Scouts to
Al-Qaedr.

Oh Gareth - they're coming to take you away, ha ha!

That's nonsense. The low ends of the HF bands (CW) sound nothing at all
like CB.

Absolutely hysterical, but I don't believe Gareth wrote any of that,
and here's why. In his regular drivelXXXXX sorry FAQ, he always writes:
"Ham Radio is a technical pursuit for those who are interested in the
science of radio wave propagation and who are also interested in the
way that their radios function. It has a long-standing tradition of
providing a source of engineers who are born naturals."

But the person who so publicly demonstrated his stupidity in that
thread stated from the outset: "Incidentally, it was not I who pointed
out the error, but a qualified engineer who was also thinking of buying
one"

Gareth, as we all know, is a "real radio ham", so why would he need to
get the opinion of a qualified engineer?

Could it be that he was out of his depth, and needed advice from
someone with experience? His approach to the FT-101E neutralising
problem was similar in that he got rid of the offending article. Come
to that, we haven't heard much about the FT-707 project either - but
at least he did ask for help with that, even if the replies were said
to have been lost due to one of his ISP failures.

Its quite amusing how some of the fraternity in here who have a Full Licence
think they can repair a radio. A lot can yes but there's also a lot of
Amateurs who hold full licences who, for one reason or another, can't fix
their radio. Be it shaky hands or impaired vision, no real skill with a
soldering iron or simply not wanting to bother and let someone else repair
it for them. Not all Full Amateurs can fix their radios even though they
will tell you they can.
There are plenty of search results on google or Yahoo or probably any other
search engine you would care to name that would reveal appropriate
information be it CB or Amateur for the repairman. Its a shame they just
can't ask for help and everyone join in in a helpful discussion which is how
it should be.

Graham

Fortunately, the ability to fix a radio is only one facet of Amateur
Radio, and not a compulsory one at that. There are Amateurs about who
don't do moonbounce or MFSK or aerial experimentation - Amateur Radio
is a broad church.

There are plenty of search results on google or Yahoo or probably any other
search engine you would care to name that would reveal appropriate
information be it CB or Amateur for the repairman.

It's a shame that there are those about - even with a broadband
connection - who 'do not follow web links'. It's their loss.

It's a shame they just
can't ask for help and everyone join in in a helpful discussion which is how
it should be.

Well, one chap asked for help concerning a problem with an FT-707, and
received a number of helpful replies. It was a pity that he was the
only user on ukra of that particular ISP to suffer an ISP failure and
consequently never saw them. Presumably in those days he didn't know
how to Google the archives. Strange world.....

I used to make a packet out of CBers, often re-repairing what their
so-called 'rig doctors' had made a mess of (who said CBers didn't have
their uses). Now it's M3s who provide a good source of beer money.

Me too, even some of the shops technicians weren't as good as they thought
they were.

They want to be treated as radio amateurs, but DuffCom say, "they have
not demonstrated the necessary technical competence."

Some want to be treated as Amateurs, others as in many walk of life,
couldn't be arsed as long as they can use it.

Ho hum...

Nick.

I find it surprising that the Full licence requirement no longer requires
Morse. It seems to be on a self destruct course which is a shame as most of
you hard working Amateurs Full licence's seem to have been belittled by
this. If a Full Licence doesn't require Morse then the licence doesn't mean
as much. I think that is a mistake. Technical competence seems to be a
bygone word.

Still, worse things happen at sea....

Graham
