You hate Amateur Radio and Amateur Radio licensees. That's blatantly
obvious.
No. Amateur radio is a fine hobby, interesting, a fine recreation
with great technological learning capabilities.
Aside from hearsay or SWLing, how would you know, Leonard?
Heil, you've done that schtick already. It doesn't apply. It
doesn't work. Give up on that ploy.
It isn't schtick and it is no ploy, Leonard.
If some kid, assuming that he is above the age which you believe should
be the minimum for amateur radio licensing, comes to you and says, "What
can you tell me about amateur radio, Mr. Anderson?", the best you'll be
able to do is tell him that you heard from a friend that amateur radio
is....
or that you read in a book that amateur radio is...
You're shucking and jiving, Leonard.

Interesting. I once said that a prospective ham almost had to know a
ham to become a ham. Then you guys set upon me like the pack of wild
dogs that you are, telling me of acts of heroism how you got the book
and read it and went down to the steely-eyed fcc examiner and became a
ham. No sir! No help from no one.
So Len could tell the kid to get a book. Which according to your
comment above, a book just isn't going to give sufficient information
to be able to answer questions about amateur radio.
You guys play both ends against the middle, and now that you've worked
down to the middle, your arguments fail because they are
contradictory. Go argue with yourself. You, K8MN, are shucking and
jiving.
Best of Luck.
