You're not a real ham if you never took or passed a Code test.
It's just another thing in this world that got "dumbed down". I blame home computers and the internet. I'm not saying wether we are better of worse off. That's just what I attribute it to. John |

There are simply too many other high-tech hobbies to choose from today. TV video games come to mind...Satellite TV and communications, cell phones, FRS radio,XM radio, cheap long distance, DVDs, Ipods, etc., etc., etc., etc. ...

Jack in point of fact they do the method is different it can be observed by studing RRAP lately the Linear (slptter box box design) work be the sender sending the same sort of crap (so and so is rapist child moelstor so on) over and over again till the target either gives up the net or is forced to repond with something (in my case I have tried suggesting the jammer "get help" now I am trying praying for him) |

: No Al, those are not arguments that take place with the model train hobby. The best scale is what is best for you. Unlike ham radio, no one tries to ram something down another hobbyist's throat. Same for buy vs. build. Not a discussion. You do what you want to do and no one is critical of the other. The way it should be in ham radio. You were that kid on the playground that always thought you were better than all the other kids and you tried to get other kids in fights didn't you Al? You seem to be always looking for confrontation. I think you're sniffing too much glue putting your model cho-cho trains together. Sc |

You know, this is the attitude that has kept me from being a licensed ham
operator. I have DX'ed for years, but find most of the operators to be smug asses who want to keep the hobby to themselves. I have no need to learn code, or more importantly, no desire. So you old fossils keep your exclusive little club and watch as it dies out with rotary telephones and vacuum tubes. Every ham I have met in person has been secretive and not at all willing to help anyone out. I sold a scope to one a few years back and in our conversation asked a few questions about becoming a ham. He was not willing to answer questions nor offer any advice, just for me to get an arrl book. He wouldn't even tell me what the repeater frequencies were for the 2 meter in our area. So, lets make the passing score 98%, 50wpm, and renew all classes every year. That ought to drive out the rest of 'em and keep you, Mr. Slow Code, as the king of all hams, even if you have no subjects to reign over. Come to think of it, I can talk to people all over the world via internet, send packets and slow scan tv, so why worry about propagation and antennae? "Slow Code" wrote in message nk.net... Just thought you should know that. Help save Ham radio and ignore Markie to save usenet. Thanks 1- No more automatic renewals. Individuals must retest and pass all elements required for their license class every ten years. 2- The passing score for written exams needs to be raised to 85%. 3- Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra. 4- Make the no-code license one year non-renewable. 5- Cancel your ARRL membership until they decide to work to improve things and stop them from proposing ham radio that is like CB. |

Blow Code, no more damage to my brain then the lead you are breathing in
when putting together your little radios with solder. But then again, the collector trains come pre-assembled so no glue is involved. One nice thing, the increase in value of some of these is incredible. Paid $20 each for two railcars. Now I am offered $400 for each of them. Not a bad hobby at all now is it. Don't believe me? Check the prices for Micro-Trains Illinois state cars (first in the series). Are trains a great hobby or what?
