Beats looking at beer bellies, flannel shirts, and filthy equipment that seems to be the norm anymore at hamfests. No wonder so many young folks can't get excited about the hobby. Add to that the attitudes of older hams, the lack of imagination, and the lack of 'building it yourself' pride that was once a great part of the hobby. As far as a hobby, it seems to be on life support. Truly sad. |

The truth in that statement only works if one can appreciate the whole Benny
Hill and "tear in my beer" approach to the organized noise they make.... I believe it only adds to the poor perception of the ham crowd. As for the young folks, I'd say that particular choice of music will have them running for their lives. And finally, the whole "building it yourself" thing hasn't got a chance in this world of multilayered PCB's and microscopic components. The simple fact is that today's youth and their sub-mini consumer electronics are only going to view your tuna-can radio and beeping noise as a string and can novelty. And then only for a few seconds as the next greatest advance in technology catches their attention. Ham radio refuses to grow up and live young, so it will probably die old and withered. Now that's the sad truth. rb "Bob" wrote in message ...
