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.

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.

Absolutely which is why it amazes me so much "hype" is placed on Morse by
the Higher Licence fraternity. It's a part of Amateur radio but theres so
much more..........

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.

Yep....... theres a lot of interesting stuff out there just waiting to be
found.

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.....

It surely is. I had a few replies to some of my questions direct to my
mailbox as they didn't want to be shot down by some of the Preachers in
here. There are a lot of helpful and intelligent people on Amateur and in
the groups who don't like the actions of a few so rarely post and that is a
great shame....

Best wishes,
Graham

What? Not the L.I.A.R who had to 'upgrade' to an M3 in order to get on
HF? LOL

No, it was a fully licensed Amateur who genuinely wanted to help. Sorry to
burst your bubble.

I dont know which article it was. All I do know is that any exam that
gives you EXTRA privileges must be an upgrade.
