hi folks, fig i would get in on this one, at least say what feel and think about it, Im waiting with that one fellow till they die off, hi old fuds that is, some of them anyway,none of them like the shuttle! Won't even move up to the real world and have a shuttle launch net here. ( I tryed that once and they tryed to ban me from the local repeater) Just one or two fellows is all it takes to take the fun out of this hobbie. When I first went to get my license, the old fart said to me, What do you want? it was just the way he said it, mean. Ever since I had this feeling about some of the fellows there that I really don't want to know. I call them grumpy old men. Sure we need some young blood in our hobbie, and its going to take another way of gettting them there/here.. Tryed giving my station/time for the ares/races group, that did not turn out, to many Indian Chiefs and no one knows who is in charge. (station manager) And the people that are there have been the head honchos for twenty five years and things won't change. Or the new people that come are now placed in charge and they know less, let alone how it makes you feel, being there for years and someone new comes in and takes charge of you. We had field day and no one came to our booth. I wonder why. by the way not many for field day also, Listened to the skywarn net tonight, not many there no more also. I wonder why. I know why, Its the way people are acting/treating each other. So everyone needs to think about it, be nice and pay attention to that amateur code, make sure (others) have fun. And be nice. :) And I won't even mention the descrimination that I seen.
Vanishing Hams, probley, maybe. but maybe not, if we see our mistakes and take heed. and tell others about them like i am here.
