You would think those 'old guard' guys would consider that we used to have to know binary and 2's complement math to use a computer at all. The technology got to the point where you didn't need those 'older' skills. We are better for it. Brian Denley http://home.comcast.net/~b.denley/index.html

Hazing or outright threatening behavior by hams licensed before Feb of 2007 is another reason new hams are not getting on the air. I went through this myself. A mentality has arisen that "amateur radio is only for listening and you're never supposed to transmit". Everyone wants the bands quiet and wants the next amateur to just stop operating. --- On Tue, 12/15/09, Glenn L. Roeser <hillbillietr...@yahoo.com> wrote:
