The QRP/QRO thread (like the CW vs No-Code thread, contesting vs non-contesting etc.) appears here and on other lists periodically and certainly generates a lot of enthusiastic (and sometimes over enthusiastic) opinions and replies ;-) I'm OK with the thread continuing a little longer with informative postings (say just tonight?) but please, let's keep it civil.
As some others have posted, Ham Radio is different to each of us and the hobby really is what ever we choose to do that makes it fun and interesting. Some only build, some only operate QRP, some QRO, some only contest or chaes DX, some just raq chew, some operate VHF only, some only on CW, others only SSB/FM/AM/Digital etc. 'Its all good' as one of our tech's here in Aptos likes to say. Also, for the original posters on this thread, there certainly is no need to apologize. Questions on this subject, or any other ham radio related topic, are reasonable and are encouraged. :-) My father always told me that there were no 'stupid questions'. Not knowing the answer is much worse than trying to appear to understand a topic, when you do not. Please resist the temptation to reply on any thread, like this one, just to vote one way or the other. We have over 3,500 readers of this list and it can easily get overwhelmed by endless pro/con emails. But if you have something new and informative to post, post away! :-) 73, Eric WA6HHQ Elecraft List Moderator (and therapist) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
