Well, I didn't come here to make any friends, they bother me not... I
don't think we need be standing on pomp and circumstance in these
times...
My skin is about as thick as ones can get, and I darn well know how to
call a spade a spade--still deal with jr college kids two nights a
week... these old guys aren't anything next to them...

Warmest regards,
John

Yes, that is correct... and probaby only 1/5 of THOSE 4/5 will bother
with the ARRL...

John, Hans just doesn't understand. When he gets like that
he is extremely touchy-grouchy.

Regardless, the League still doesn't have but about 1 out of
every 5 U.S. amateur radio licensees as members. The League
can't seem to "raise" that much. A couple years ago they
got to about 23%, then it fell off.

Haynie has said that a "survey" showed fully 1 in 5 hams
actually got on the air?

Dammit Len, your reading comprehension really is badly deteriorated.
See a specialist quickly.

Tsk, tsk, master super chief of all. Didn't you notice a
little QUESTION MARK I put at the end of my sentence?
You quoted it and STILL didn't see it! YOUR problem, not
mine. Read it again and RECOGNIZE the punctuation.

Sigh.

What Haynie said was that the survey revealed that "more than
one-fifth of new amateur licensees never get on the air."

Go uncork a fifth and go for stupor-ville, mighty super
master chief. You will feel better...but not in the morning.

Good luck on this one, now...
