It seems that anyone of those who are involved
in any way with childrens' organisations or with the inducing of children to tackle the kindergarten entrance examination (that is represented by the 6-year-olds' qualification of the M3/CB Fools' Licence) exhibit behavioural traits - infantile outbursts, deliberately insulting tirades and vicious temper tantrums - that one would expect only from the children in their care. Is it time for all _REAL_ Radio Hams to refuse to have anything to do with such mental derangees and their charges, and institute an age bar, perhaps 16-years-old, below which we will not associate in any way? Only then, by making it clear that young children are not, and cannot be in any way, part of the society of adult technocrats that is Radio Hammery will be be able to influence them not to attempt to join us until they have achieved maturity? Word will soon get around if children who have been conned by the various Billies-No_Mates into going for the M3/CB fools' Licence find that no-one will speak to them. |

OK I'm standing, what can we do? the problem is not the M3's but the system
that let this farce happen. I don't agree with your sentiment that all M3's are freeloaders, that may have been the case when first introduced but not now. The only way into the hobby is via the new 3 step licensing but there is no real incentive to advance, a two year limit creating the provisional M3 licence would be a start - restriction of bands as in the good old us of a would be another. rrh "Pierian Spring" wrote in message oups.com...

This is what you have just said this in several paragraphs, but my one brief sentence says it more plainly. Having several licence classes from CB upwards (is that the right word?) is an administrative nonsense. Ofcom has already realised this, aided greatly by RSGB's incompetent bungling in trying to maintain its jobs. The arbitary categories ARE on the way out, regardless of what you or I may say about it.

An interesting thought
I was just turning 15 in 1962 when I obtained my novice license (WN2CJV). A few years later, I obtained my general (WB2OSP). I obtained my extra class ticket along with my 1st phone and 2nd telegraph (too young for my 1st plus needed 6 months shipboard experience) along with my radar endorsement in 1966. I would gently suggest not a change in years, but a reasonable test for the licenses. I disliked Morse at first, but ended up copying 40 words per minute perfect copy in Bainbridge, MD. for the U.S. Navy on a manual typewriter. For someone who disliked the code, I would suggest that 15 or 20 words per minute is not unreasonable. As to theory, methinks that one should be able to solve something other than simple series/parallel circuits (multiple seats of voltage in a complex circuit) for their extra. That aside, there should be a fairly simple exam to allow folks easy entrance into amateur radio. No need for Morse and there should be limited HF allocations. Just my thoughts. 73 from Rochester, NY Jim AA2QA "Pierian Spring" wrote in message oups.com...

Once again you respond with infantile outbursts
whose purpose is to cause offence. Shame on you. The issues you sneer at below have been well covered - and answered - already and, despite your somewhat infantile intentions do not cause offence in the way that you intend; they only cause amusement to those of us who are the adults and gentlemen of Ham Radio- amusement that you continue to represent yourself as a maladjusted infant. As to the issue of harassment, I will cover that once again. I have contributed to this NG for a number of years and have consistently supported my view of what is Ham Radio, and have done that without indulging in the sorts of behaviours that are out of place with those associate with the scouts such as you exhibit below. For some reason, those from the gutter who should not be associated in any way with children (such as yourself below) choose to pick on me and proceed to illustrate very well what is the difference between those in the hobby (CB Radio) and those in the adult technical pursuit (Ham Radio). One such childish degenerate, Brian Reay, G8OSN / M3OSN subjected me over a number of years to a grossly offensive series of infantile and abusive tirades in which he accused me of sheep shagging, said that my wife was a sheep next to me in the bed, made rude comments about my children, repeated accused me of drinking methylated spirit and capped it all by posting publicly that he was deliberately harassing me and trying to wind me up. I discovered that when he was demonstrating so publicly his sexual deviation and obsession with sheep shagging that he was under training to be a teacher at a girls' school in Dartford, Kent and my indignation at his one-sided socially-maladjusted campaign boiled ove rand I suggested, in the best traditions of public responsibility that his sexual deviation made him unsuited to being a schoolteacher. Brian Reay's infantile psyche could not take having the tables turned on him and he made a deliberately misleading and perjurous complaint to the plods to claim that I was harassing him rather than the other way around. The We'll ****e (All Over You) plods have lng had a campaign of harassment against me and took Brian Reay at his word, did not check the evidence (Especially the popsts by Brian Reay admitting to a campaign of harassment) came to arrest me in force, kicking me in the face. Now you really ought to know that it is not an arrest that indicates wickedness, especially when the matter is dropped for lack of evidence and without charges being indicted. However, your infantile disposition and desperate need to cause offence will not be bothered by a small detail like the truth, will it. The trial of the plod Richard Fuller for assault is now scheduled for the 8th Feb at 10:00 AM at Chippenham. wrote: Gareth Alun Evans (G4SDW) wrote: You are hoist by your own petard.

// snip // and have consistently supported my view of what is Ham Radio, and have done that without indulging in the sorts of behaviours that are out of place with those associate with the scouts such as you exhibit below. For some reason, those from the gutter who should not be associated in any way with children (such as yourself below) choose to pick on me and proceed to illustrate very well what is the difference between those in the hobby (CB Radio) and those in the adult technical pursuit (Ham Radio). CB and Amateur radio are both "hobbies". CB is nowhere near as sophisticated and held in such high regard as Amateur radio but it is a "hobby" nontheless. Here are a few examples of this... From the ARRL Website, Here's your invitation to a friendly, high-tech **hobby** that's got something fun for everyone! You can become an Amateur Radio operator--no matter what age, gender or physical ability. People from all walks of life pass their entry-level exam and earn their Amateur (ham) Radio license. They all share the diverse world of activities you can explore with ham radio. From Wikipedia, the olnline encyclopedia, Amateur radio, often called ham radio, is a **hobby** enjoyed by many people throughout the world. An amateur radio operator, ham, or radio amateur uses two-way radio to communicate with other radio amateurs, for recreation or self-edification. From www.101science.com, INTRODUCTION: You can learn more about amateur radio at the American Radio Relay League web site. Want to know what this HAM radio stuff is all about in plain language? Then be sure to check the GETTING STARTED page. It includes information on how to become an FCC licensed amateur radio operator. For specific licensing information click HERE. Amateur radio as a **hobby** has many different aspects. This is one of the things that makes amateur radio so wonderful. There are a variety of activities for everyone; men, women, and boys and girls. From eHam.net, Welcome to the Guide to Amateur Radio for new hams. Whether you are a new ham radio operator or are interested in getting into the exciting amateur radio **hobby** these pages can be helpful as you explore the many opportunities of Amateur Radio. From Don Irving, www.irving.org/hamradio/, Amateur Radio, also called ham radio, is an extensive **hobby** that can be used for world-wide communications or for chatting with friends across a parking lot. There are even gateways between ham radio and the Internet. There are tons of fun things you can do! All in all, everyone except a few people from this newsgroup see it as something more than a hobby. It can be a technical and very advanced hobby but it remains still a hobby. Why do people disagree and get so upset with this word? As most people see it, CB is a Hobby, Amateur is a technical Hobby. As for the personal abuse you have been getting I think that's more to do with your attitude and approach to others. I find, in general, if your polite to people they are polite in reply. If you are arrogant and dismissive in your attitude you will upset some people who will have a go back at you in the same manner. I have cut previous posts short in this newsgroup, not because I have lost the argument but because it's pointless continuing as the other person has no interest in your point of view (your as in whoever the poster may be) and is only looking for a one-upmanship argument (for want of a better word) which benefits no-one and in itself is a "childish" activity. Baiting people to lose their temper as some do is also a "childish" thing to do and shouldn't exist in a "Gentleman's Hobby". I know a few of you don't want to hear this but next year im going to be taking my M3 licence to talk legally on 2 metres so keep a listen out for me. I will post my nice new M3 callsign in here when it happens. Look after yourself during the holidays and a Happy New Year to all, Graham -- -.-. -... / .-. .- -.. .. --- Radio is only a Hobby.

Word will soon get around if children who have been
conned by the various Billies-No_Mates into going for the M3/CB fools' Licence find that no-one will speak to them. Agreed...... Just a point to note, before CB came along people who headed the direction of Amateur radio were classed as " Billy No Mates". Now it seems this phrase has been re-directed. As for no-one speaking to them, you should have put no-one like yourself would speak to them as there are plenty of welcoming souls on the Amateur bands who welcome all who are genuine in the Hobby. That said I do agree, unless supervised, youngsters shouldn't be allowed on air. But then again who am I to impose my thoughts on people. 6 year old seems ridiculously young to consider able to manage a radio station whatever their intellectual level.

Is it time for all _REAL_ Radio Hams to refuse to have anything to do with such mental derangees and their charges, and institute an age bar, perhaps 16-years-old, below which we will not associate in any way? Only then, by making it clear that young children are not, and cannot be in any way, part of the society of adult technocrats that is Radio Hammery will be be able to influence them not to attempt to join us until they have achieved maturity? Word will soon get around if children who have been conned by the various Billies-No_Mates into going for the M3/CB fools' Licence find that no-one will speak to them. |

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 . Regards, Graham (having an "oh so childish" outburst) -- -.-. -... / .-. .- -.. .. --- Radio is only a Hobby.

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? Must've been somebody else, Shirley? 73 Mike G4KFK |
