No one is, any more than by requiring people to know the law one is putting the law "over all ham knowledge". How progressive is it?

(Whatever "denny" means.) to aquire the expence needed to truely work on hf You don't acquire knowledge (which is what's needed) by playing with a radio. how patriotic is it to keep a staion forom aquiing the skill to be ready for service to conutry and community? How does playing CB on the ham bands give one "the skill to be ready for service to conutry and community"? Or any skill, other than getting what you want? You don't acquire skill by doing something that requires no skill. And you, particularly, don't acquire knowledge by demanding something for nothing. |
