the hall to play in.

hey ace. you still havent explained yourself on the "portable" and/or
"tote it" crack. i am a tard, so spell it out to me........ do you base
your self worth and reputation on the value of your rig? the other 90%
of us who chose to "tote it" are tards? if this is what you think then
the ham"s have a name for people like you. APPLIANCE OPERATOR. hell, i
would rather just sit in front of the tv and give up radio forever than
to realise that i was just an APPLIANCE OPERATOR! do you even understand
why that is such a insult? probably not.


It doesn't take a whole lot of smarts to operate the typical tabletop,
or even to operate the typical transceiver. The early hams, like in the
1910s and 1920s, THEY were smart. But today? Any moron can pass a simple
test and get a transceiver and raise hell on the amateur bands, as a
couple recent cases of interference chronicled on this group show. 80
years ago, you needed to know a good chunk of radio and electronics
theory to become a ham, THEN you needed to know how to turn a wire coil
from a Ford Model T into a working MW receiver (not as easy as it
looks). Today, we have "Push To Talk". As long as you can pass that
test, you can buy an "appliance" transceiver and the FCC washes their
hands of you unless you take out every repeater within 1000 miles of Los
Angeles. I'm sure there are still smart hams out there. I'm not
attacking you guys. I'm attacking You Know Who who thinks that having
three Drake tabletops makes him Big Man On SW. I notice that he doesn't
even bother to get a ham license, and he thinks he's so smart because he
has an ANALOG world time clock. Whoopee.

I can really see what upsets a 'tard such as yourself... it's an ANALOG clock!

You've got a mental problem, boy.

Make sure you take those meds as soon as you get up in the morning, 'tard boy... you're
gonna need them.

It's amusing, but also sad, that this person
thinks anyone cares that he "plonks" them.
Must be a strange existance to think that
all the world turns on his personal regard.

'tard. 'tard, 'tard, 'tard!

well yes, i am having fun....... but you still seem afraid to actually
answer my question. i dont care that you need a drake to sooth some kind
of penis envy. and i am not too proud to be a "tard" i just wanted to
know the basis behind the portable thing. most of us have portable
radios and i wondered if your slam on portables was only and
specifically directed at the guy you were calling a "tard" or does just
owing a portable make one a tard? and why would that be? thats why i
called it a broad-banded insult. most of us are guilty of owning one or
more portable radios....... um, err.... it dawns on me that i have got 6
portable sw radios. am i a tard to the sixth power? a serial tardist? a
tardaholic? i just want to know.....

dont run down the hall! we can start the first chapter of TARDS
ANONYMOUS! its a twelve step program and when we recover we will have
fairly expensive radios to show for it! i wonder if drake owners are
tards to ten tec owners?

Well, I certainly hope that you're not lying awake at night wondering.
