From what you write below, you would seem to qualify as
a _REAL_ Radio Ham, the essence of Radio Hammery,
and pursuing activities that the FAQ praises.

To get as far as the bit you quote below, you must have
read the opening paragraphs which speak in support of
the style of Radio Hammery which you say is you, and so
it is difficult to understand why you should seem to take offence
at remarks which clearly are not directed at you. As you say below,
you have been "out of it" for a number of years, so it is unlikely
that you were aware of the gangrenous degeneration that is
the M3/CB Fools' Licence scheme or that you availed yourself
of the facility.

The groups which are criticised by the FAQ are those who
have featured in this NG in the years gone by, and any
animosity has, indeed, been originated by the criticised groups.
For me, Radio Hammery has always had traditions of international
gentlemanliness and these criticised groups do not have those
traditions.

So, you would appear to come from the traditional seed-corn of
Radio Hammery, where it is a technical pursuit with jealously
guarded privileges and yet you seem to take offence at criticsm
of those who are not in your league.

I offer no apologies for maintaining a stance to uphold the
technical and gentlemanly traditions of Ham Radio; nor do
I apologise for setting ourselves apart from CBers.

"One group of people who claim to be of the standard of
Radio Hams but who are in reality nothing more than an
apology for the failure of a CBer are those class B
licensees who falsely proclaimed that they were against
the use of a Morse Test to control access to the HF
bands, until, that is, a test was introduced at their
intellectual level, the intellectual level of 6-year-olds. "
Hold on a mo. I'm a class B licence holder - G8LIR, and have been for,
oh about 30 years I think. My main interest was in fast scan ATV on 70
Cms and 23cms, and with a small team we competed in many ATV contests,
setting new (and I think unbroken) records. All our equipment was home
built - yes I do mean ALL - including narrow band ATV receivers
utilising inline cavities and integrating receivers to subtract noise
and reveal lost images when only a weak sync pulse was available. We
also DESIGNED and built the linear amplifiers using 4cx250's in push
pull, with 2kv on the anodes and tuneable cavities (not copied
designs). And, oh yes, we designed filters using laplace transforms to
calculate the correct vaues for the inductors, wound them ourselves and
tuned then with second hand spectrum analysers.
Now to me, that level of technical expertise speaks to a certain
intellectual level over a 6 year olds.
I was considering returning to the hobby, but frankly the view in this
FAQ has put me off.
