Good morning to all,
If I may ask what or how do these "current" submissions do with Towers? Its
up to the admin to regulate who is here so Mr.Marlon is here, lets embrace
him, educate him and we will all be better ... including ham radio with
another member to our great hobby.
Have a great day~ Field day is fast approaching~ Are you and your club
ready?

>> HAM Tradition, law, and mores? Come on - just because Marlon

>> (And before a hundred HAMS take offense, think about some of the

>>
>> Where in the post did he talk about breaking the law, intent to break the
>> law? He did say two meter or 440 radio, but he never made one single
>> comment about transmitting. I took it clearly that he was just going to
>> provide the technology - not the operation.
>>
>> Without getting or requesting pay? Tell that to the many HAM groups
>> that put in for reimbursement for operational expenses while operating
>> an emergency, and get it. Tell that to the many HAM operators that
>> get reimbursed expenses for state sponsored exercises.
>>
>> Where was the lack of knowledge about part 97? Remember, he
>> NEVER said he was going to be transmitting, nor operating the radios.
>>
>> Lets talk about the age old HAM tradition of Elmering - rather than
>> calling
>> people out immediatly for supposed violations of tradition. Teaching
>> rather
>> than flying off the handle half cocked.
>>
>> Signing your call on email? Strictly a matter of personal preference. I
>> could put down my HAM call, my GROL, my numerous commercial
>> licenses, my drivers license, my short size, etc. None of those make me
>> any better a person than the next person. Heck, if I was going to put
>> down the title that I am most proud of I would sign every post with
>> Grandpa.
>>
>> Blake Bowers
>> Grandpa
>> Dad
>> Husband
>> Fire Chief
>> President of this and that organization
>> Commercial tower owner
>> Radio shop owner
>> KD4RME
>> Numerous other FCC licenses
>> Lots of other stuff. (One must remember, its all just "stuff")
>> Don't take your organs to heaven,
>> heaven knows we need them down here!
>> Be an organ donor, sign your donor card today.
