I and the OM also worked some of the VHF contest and noticed a very
strange thing. Only 10% of the contacts that we made were
Technician
operators. On the other hand, 80% of them were Extra class
operators.
So
where are all the Techs who are "trapped" in VHF and above because
they
"can't" pass the code (as some would have us believe)?

Hey Dee,

Good question actually. Perhaps they are part of the vast majority of
hams
that are inactive.

More likely they are all "stuck" on FM and have not a clue what else
is
going on with V/Uhf. What a shame.

Dan/W4NTI

Ah, yes. The Shameful, Clueless Techs. With attitudes like yours,
it's no wonder they don't hang around.


I don't recall anyone on here, other than you "bb", using the word
Shameful
or
Clueless regarding the Technician licensees.

I do. You used the phrases, "not a clue" and "what a shame" to
describe Techs who chose to be "stuck" on FM.

All I see is folks stating
they don't
understand why the Techs don't take full advantage of their full license
privileges.

You go beyond that. You imply that there's something wrong with them.

You sir, are nothing but a agitator and a disgrace to ham radio in
general,
assuming
you have a license that is.

Dan/W4NTI

You are the disgrace, Dan. Your bad attitude about Techs says it all.

Let me guess... You're an Extra, right?


Not a clue as to what else is out there.
What a shame the dont.

That is what I meant and you know it.

Yep I am an extra, so what? I've been one since I passed in in front of
the FCC in 1977. Again so what?

I spend most of my time talking with, as you think, lower class amateurs.
Most of my SSB on HF is in the General sub bands. Most of my CW is the
same. ALL of my VHF is in the Tech sub bands, and I operate there a LOT.

Don't come off with this crap that I have a problem with the Tech ticket.
Screw you N0IMD.
