news:1106073635.118242094c6b76010649b0b4531e6316@t eranews... : Nobody seems to care about amateur radio including the hams themselves. We hams are no longer viewed by any significant authority as anything more than a motley collection of hobbyists. Sorry: fact of life. Gripe if you wish. It won't change the truth. In fact, many authorities wish we would disappear. We are, at best, "overbearing, unqualified tinkerers," and at worst "overbearing, unqualified tinkerers." Well, we could leave off the word "tinkerer" as the majority of hams have no ability nor desire to tinker. We are in no way, speaking generally, that 'pool of qualified electronics techs' the FCC mentions, although we seem to think we are. Those days are gone. M.A.N. -- "I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: "O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous." And God granted it." - Voltaire |
