I came here tonight wondering how far I would have to go in to the
discussion before N9OGL popped up. Well, only took me one thread. Right on top "blah blah N9OGL" Can't we get past this, ignore all this troll bait and just have a productive Ham Radio discussion forum? If not, 73! Rick K6LE |

This forum long-since lost any pretense of being a truly viable forum for the discussion of valid issues. It's solely for mudwrestling. Of course QRZ and eHam DO have open forums that are very productive and don't tend to tolerate the likes of some of our own ner-do-wells. That's where I go when I want to read/participate in anything remotely approaching a "productive Ham Radio discussion forum". 73 Steve, K4YZ |

I've been waiting for an interesting discussion to pop up so if you've got any ideas, throw them into the arena under a new thread. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |

I don't see it happening, Dee. There's been numerous attemps to truly use this forum in a productive and meaningful way, but it always wind's up being pulled into yet another "elitist extras ruining ham radio becasue of morse code" rantfests. Myself and a couple other posters, on varying occassions, have tried to discuss and promote the various spectrum protection initiatives, for example. Every one that I started was immediately beset upon by you-know-who and his usual "the real issue is Morse Code testing...)rantings. The other two weren't any more successful. And so far we (Amateur Radio in general) have gone through four or five evolutions of bills in Washington without success...Of course the argument AGAINST discussing them HERE is that, allegedly, everyone "supports" the idea...Well...Obviously not. Most digital or technical issues wind up on TAPR or other sites, as do other specialized discussions. Witness Mike Coslo's opening of the subject of high altitude balloons and telemetery. My other "try to be serious" issues have dealt with redefining the WRITTEN tests and their objectives, since "dumbing down" seems to be an area of contention. Well, no one wants to discuss doing anything other than making fewer tests and making them easier...as if having the verbatim questions and answers isn't already easy enough. If we finally get it down to fifty cents and two cereal box tops, someone will want it to be one box top.... No...I don't think THIS particular forum will ever produce a single viable discussion with any palpable results. Without the infrastructure of a guided discussion, nothing productive is possible. 73 Steve, K4YZ |

Unfortunately you've arrived too late, kinda like arriving for a dinner party after the guests have long departed and the fly eggs have hatched and maggots are infesting the leftovers. The last amateur radio discussion here was terminated in a previous century, and all the hams have left. Only the maggots remain.

I guess what I suspected is true. I'll try QRZ and eHam and move on. I almost hate to ask this because the idiots will probably come out of the woodwork but what is it, do you suppose, that motivates people to hang out on a Newsgroup or forum for the sole purpose of starting a flame? If you go to a Mac group there are the PC/Linux dudes telling everyone what fools they are to use a Mac. On the Ham Radio groups there are a bunch of jerks telling everyone what idiots hams are, the higher the license class the bigger the idiot! If they aren't interested in the things being discussed on a given forum why do they read it and then feel compelled to jump in? My guess is that on the Radio groups the troublemakers are mostly the ones that can't cut it and they have to take it out on the ones that can. On the Mac (or whatever) groups they feel they have made the only "right" decision and they must tell everyone how superior their logic is and what cretins the rest are for not seeing the world their way. Oh the sadness of what I call "digital thinking" Rick K6LE |
