Why are we are "REAL" hams--our chit don't stink, we have an IQ above
room temp and have passed the test--we paste a darn hobby licence on the
wall as if it were a PHD... we worship the "dit dah God", gawd man, get
a clue... grin

.... some of even have a sense of humor--that not only makes a real ham,
it makes a real man...

Warmest regards,
John

What makes a person a real ham?
Is it doing more then 5 wpm code?
Is it being accepted by certain other hams?
Could it be the date they were first licensed, or maybe the class of
license they hold now?
Can a person climb to Extra with today's test and be considered a real
ham?
Is yodoc aka K3LT a real ham, or the one to determine who is a real
ham?
Can somebody who gets into amateur radio today with the "give away
license" ever be considered a real ham?
Does getting a vanity license that is an older call such as K8*** or
WD8*** make you a real ham?
I didn't take the free upgrade to general, so would this make me a
cb'er or no coder as the toad says?
I'm not being a troll, I would really like to know the answers to
this!
