And let's not forget the "Doctor is In" column stating the dangers of
how one must never ever operate a transmitter with tube finals, nor
purchase vintage equipment. Beginning hams can't be expected to learn
how to dip the plate and bring up the load.
Sad. Really sad.
I enjoyed my Dayton visit immensely. I am an ARRL member, though I do
not give them my undivided support. I did not even step into the ARRL
realm at Hamvention, though I really did feel like getting my nerve
together and tell the good doctor what I though about his dissuading
newcomers from buying vintage equipment. Encouragement might take
away advertising dollars, after all.

Another piece of major damage to amateur radio that has been

QST and having them published in a separate publication, QEX, that
full members must now pay extra to receive, leaving QST to be filled
mostly with "human interest" drivel, ads and stale news.
