Are you advocating the more rapid demise of amateur radio operators Fat Boy?

Of some. Some of those on 80 and 20 meters need to move on....

You operate ham out of the frigerator box?

You never did tell us why you auctioned off your SR3 and 909. Wazzup?

Kommie-Krats? Yep, you're definitely suffering from age-related senility....

Hope you make it to the election....

just in case anyone is wondering, I heard it from a very good very reliable
source that I know that the reason the local ham radio operators didn't want me
to be able to be a ham in their club and gave me a phony test is because they
thought that I was "not handsome".

Well, I'll agree that I'm not handsome, but tell me, since when was "being
handsome" a "requirement" for becoming a hamn radio operator?

The work required to get that ham ticket is the only thing keeping it
from turning into a repeat of the Citizens Band fiasco. snip

My limited experience of listening to HAM is that they have a fetish for
discussing coax. By comparison CBers are positively rivetting.

We must be near the end times. CBers *were* the dregs.

Isn't that exactly what happened to Canada?

The work required to get that ham ticket is the only thing keeping it
from turning into a repeat of the Citizens Band fiasco. There would be a
huge increase in the number of retards on the airways.

there's already a number of retards on the ham airwaves.

I failed to get my ham radio liscence because of them, even though I know that
most of my answers were correct.

They just didn't want me to become a ham in order to keep their little ham club
"exclusive" to theirselves. and so they abused their priveleges.

I heard the local ham repeater frequency in the 144 to 148 mhz band, went to
the place they said, paid the money they said ( at least 3 times higher than
what it costs roday) and took my test (after studying of course).

The questions were not completely the same as the material that the book
taught. Most of them were completely different.

One of the questions on the actual ham test I took was "What is ATV and what
does it refer to"

I answered that it stood for "amateur tv" which some ham operators transmit.

After the test was over, the examiners (real hams. I had heaard them on my
local ham repeater including call letters and lalso listed in the ham directory
book) marked that question wrong and told me that that was the wrong answer and
that there is not any such thing as "ham tv" or "amateur tv" and that tv is not
allowed at all in any ham bands anywhere.

They then told me that the correct answer to that question is that "ATV" refers
only to ham radio sets that are installed in All-Terrain Vehicles".

And that was only one of the questions. They did the same thing with most of
the other questions also.

marking wrong what was definitely right,. and then coming up with phoney
answers that they claimed was the "correct answers" just to keep out people
that they didn't want or were predudiced against for some reason or another.

So now I say, bring back the days when the FCC gave the liscence exams instead
of letting local hams who abuse their priveleges when doing it doing it.
