The Morse Code Requirement - Is It Really The Reason People Turn
From: Dave Heil k8mn
From: Dave Heil So the activity in the photograph never really took place? Could be? Don't you know? If you don't, you're just blowing smoke. I let my membership expire. Its not worth renewing. The way I could verify the info is to show up at individual events. I've done that and have trouble asking them the questions I want to ask. I could email a few in the photograph, but I only remember a few of their names. I am pretty sure, that if I ask a few people from the photo if they are interested in a homebrewing project, they will either say they are not interested or too busy. Should there be a constant stream of such projects or do you find it acceptable that such projects take place from time to time? If they are grouped in with other activites, that would be fine. These projects haven't been there at all. no one in a radio club wants to do what you want Often true. you being dismayed that hams set out for an operating activity and then waste that time by operating or you being under the impression that your travel to a domestic location was a "DXpedition". It was a vacation spot. I wanted to do some of the vacation activies. Yes, that the Hams did not do vacation activites (other than eating) did come as a surprise to me. |

Maybe they find you an irritant. We'll never know. Should there be a constant stream of such projects or do you find it acceptable that such projects take place from time to time?

Nothing keeps you from homebrewing anything you like except for that group activities fetish. no one in a radio club wants to do what you want Often true. I'll try to work up some sympathy. you being dismayed that hams set out for an operating activity and then waste that time by operating or you being under the impression that your travel to a domestic location was a "DXpedition". It was a vacation spot. Did you go there with a radio club group intent on operating? I wanted to do some of the vacation activies. Oh? Did the club plan vacation activities or did you just assume that was part of the trip? Yes, that the Hams did not do vacation activites (other than eating) did come as a surprise to me. Far be it from you to actually find out in advance what the group planned to do. From my perspective, your time in amateur radio has been one endless litany of complaints. Dave K8MN |

Let another club member (not you) show them around so that the non-ham has a fighting chance to comprehend just what amateur radio is and what a hamfest is all about. What I am willing to bet is that if Vippy takes someone to a Hamfest, the third party is likely to say "What the heck are you talking about...these are just good people having fun", hence making Vippy look even more foolish than what he does now. You begin with false assumptions and attempt to prove them to be true. I didn't begin with any assumptions. I noticed these things at Hamfests. Yes, you did. You've continued to hold those beliefs despite your having been corrected on numerous occasions by those who have much more experience than you. Quite often your stories end with you being shocked by what passes for American culture, you being disappointed that no one in a radio club wants to do what you want, you being dismayed that hams set out for an operating activity and then waste that time by operating or you being under the impression that your travel to a domestic location was a "DXpedition". You seem to think that you are just a normal guy in a sea or weirdness. Don't you find that peculiar? He's got Third World-itis. Comes to America then wonders why America isn't like the place he left. Sheeesh. Steve, K4YZ |
