We're certainly are not against good hams. If code
skill is representative of hams like you, we are
against any other low-IQ-products-of-incest being
allowed into this otherwise nice hobby.

Do you think discussions on repeaters are as technical today as they were
25 Years ago?

25 years? Probably about the same, since repeaters had been around
at least 10 years by then. You could by a repeater over the counter
with tone squelch, and several other toys built in, so they were no more
complicated than a 2 meter handheld. My high school Amateur radio club
built a two meter repeater of of Motorola and GE strips, homebrew powers
supplies, diplexer, and timers in the late '60s. What is the big deal,
unless you have multiple sites and voting receivers? We were just a
bunch of RF crazy teenagers with less than $50 to spend, and we wanted
to build a repeater. A few months later we were given a surplus WE Touch
TOne decoder module, and added a phone patch.

Like everything else the club did, we raised the funds by repairing
old electronics and selling it to buy the parts we needed for the next
project. the only new piece of equipment we ever purchases was a HW-16,
in kit form. BTW, CW was the least used form of communications from the
club's station. they could do that at home, but we had some nice
antennas, the two meter repeater, and several full coverage HF rigs.

As a confirmed CW op of 40+ years duration I am not against 'good
hams'... However, I find your barrage of postings to multiple groups to
be tiring, pointless, and senseless...

I'm not against having good hams, but can you tell me what your Inane
proposals have to do with that. Over 30 years I've seen tons of 20WPM Jerks
on the bands. CW has nothing to do with the people we get in.

Well...I quit eating red meat regularly about 20 some-odd years ago. I
feel much better now with all that out of my system.

I do enjoy a slab or two of good ham at Christmas, though.

My wife and I had aged ham at Easter. Tasted like chicken.

Enjoy! :-)

Everyone else ought to remember the definition of ham: "Ham is
the butchered meat of swine."




There...now THAT's a troll! :-)
