My father wanted very much to be a ham had a radio and th33 to listen with, but
could not handle the code, spent a while on cb ut unfortunately passed on with
every being able to get his license. wish the no code tech license had been
around in the 70's

agree, but... I know of an old man who thought it would be nice to chat
with people over the radio to occupy his time, CB seemed a bit rough to
him, so he thought maybe the ham operators would be good to talk with, Very
good ham now but stuck as a no-code tech. he would like to be on HF to work
some of the side band and/or RTTY.
Even though I can send/receive better than 30 and wish all could enjoy it,
yet, do I want to block this person?
tough call don't you think?,
Perhaps the art is as much in getting a good station together for
communication as much as the method.
Best wishes,
