Yes, one would think so. That is what our Novice license was for, an
entry type of license, nothing real hard on the test, only 5wpm for
code, limited power and not all frequency privileges.

so i cant see why the "old hams" arent
encoraging them rather than belittling them.

It seems that is often the position taken not by just 'old hams' today,
but by some of those who do upgrade. Kinda like how as a freshman in
high-school you were looked down on by upper-classmen. It didn't use to
be that way. When I had my Novice ticket, I probably worked more General
and higher class licensees on the Novice bands because they would come
to the Novice frequencies and work us, sending code slowly and carefully
to encourage us to get proficient enough to upgrade. Amateur radio used
to be very gentlemanly, still is for the most part but seems amateur
radio has begun to reflect much of today's rude society.

"Not-Ham" Hull is otherwise known as "THE INCURABLE CBER",
one of the CBers-Masquerading-As-Radio-Hams who infest this NG.

Some years ago he was abusing his employer's computer system
to heap offensive and insulting remarks at me, an abuse to
which I took exception and complained. Not-Ham has proved himself
to be infantile in the extreme by maintaining a temper-tantrum
on the matter for years on end. If only he could see that
I saved him from himself......in today's world, such abuse
of an employer's computer system is a sacking offence!

But then, that's the brain of a Childish Broadcaster (CBer)
for you!

I would say the language you use makes you a much poorer disgrace to our
world wide associates than his misuse of an '.

An interesting challenge. But, since you raised it,
you first!

Over to you.....

Why don't you correct your CB chum Magnum?
His postings are typical of the semi-literate, brain-dead CBr.

'Magnum' has never made jumped up claims to his own self importance.

Has he been banned from the off-license?

I seem to remember I was castigating you for your god-awful remarks re the
deathd of the Soham girls, so totally justified. Luckily, your email
(pleading for me to be sacked), was laughed out of IT. You were spotted like
the insane fool you are, in about 10 seconds.

Remember, dear readers, that only one person on the entire newsgroup, has
ever been arrested for internet harrassment. I bet you can't think who that
might be...

Draw your own conclusions.

Gareth, John is well known for his homebrew achievements. Look at his
website.

The ball is most definitely now in your court.

What have you homebrewed?

Polymath,

Just thought I would let you know, since almost all your replies come from the
CB crowd, that at least on this side of the pond, someone agrees with you. The
continuing "dumbing down" of license requirements will be the death of Ham
Radio. Unfortunatley, it's a side effect of the overall dumbing down of the
entire educational system. Teachers are not allowed to flunk a student, or even
criticize, for fear that the poor student's "self esteem" will suffer. If a
student makes a gross error, the response is, "I can see where you get your
answer, and it is very good, how about considering some alternatives?" Instead
of, "Sorry, you're wrong, go read the f*cking book!"

Keep it up, don't let the ignorant ******* get you down.

John,

Thank-you for your kind words. It must be difficult,
however to navigate through the QRM of false Polymaths
who are infesting this NG. (I note that a rather silly
and infantile CBer has already replied to you as Polymath)

For some reason, despite taking a stance of encouraging
all comers to exert themselves and join in what is an
exciting technical pursuit, I am plagued with quite
a few mental defectives who forge postings, amongst other
things. I really do not understand the infantile mentality
of them, for, if they were to put the same effort into
pursuing Ham Radio that they do into their childish attacks,
they'd find life much more rewarding!

There was something from you in my in-tray, however
I delete all unsolicited emails - if something comes
up as the result of the NG then the place to discuss
it is in the NG.

Thanks again and 73.
