We need the "head count" to keep our hobby alive and well. I've seen many new hams that had no background in electronics get their ticket by memorizing the test. They then dove into the hobby and became true assets to the hobby. Others just like to talk, and that's OK too. I guess I'm and optimist. Oh, I've been doing this ham radio since 1958, so I think I can say the above with some creditability. Welcome to all the new hams, no matter how you got your ticket. 73, Joe, K1ike On 8/31/2010 1:21 AM, Barry wrote: Much the same on the base permit here in Au but what do I know after 30+ years of yabering To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com From: glennmaill...@bellsouth.net Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:09:42 -0400 Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Wouxun Radio Welcome to the new hams that are taught the test and have no idea what the questions mean. 73 Glenn WB4UIV Ham of the old school.
