Is the code requirement really keeping good people out of ham radio?
"Cecil Moore" wrote in message . .. wrote: From: "Dee Flint" on Sun, Oct 22 2006 8:47am Yes ham radio is supposed to be camaraderie. People are supposed to help each other. Then why don't they? Because a lot of pro-coders would rather belittle no-coders than help them? More likely a knee jerk reaction to the very few but very vocal ones who try to come in and act like they know all there is to know about radio when the "ink isn't even dry on their license". It's unfortunate that the experienced hams don't have the discipline to withstand this nonsense without such knee-jerk reactions. When a new licensee (the level of license is irrelevant) tells me that you can't work DX without an amplifier, I just tell him about the countries I worked with my 100 watt radio and relatively low mount G5RV. But some hams turn bitter instead when a newbie insists that he is right and they are wrong. Dee, N8UZE |
