I'm sorry, but I'm actually Sickened by the idea that our hobby has come to the point where someone has such little will to actually participate in the actual contact. I mean, if you can't even be bothered to send your own contact information, RST and call sign, why even bother being a Ham radio operator.
Yes, I understand the need for the CQ perhaps. It can be a long task finding someone to answer you, But at least, in my opinion, if you don't have the enjoyment of the minimum follow through, Get off the air and give up the hobby. You may as well be running a demo of a game on a computer. What's the point. Now, I'm sure many of you other hams that only participate in contests and never get on the air otherwise, are going to slam me, but I just feel sad for the Ham community when I read posts like that one. Maybe in the future you can set up a remote station, have it CQ for you, send the RST, sequential contact number and then sign off for the next QRZ. All while your out in the back yard enjoying your BBQ or having a swim in the pool a thousand miles away in your vacation home. absolutely Disgusting LOL _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® goes with you. http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/Mobile?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tutorial_Mobile1_052009 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
