FCC and the radio companys and ARRL caused this...all due to wanting more
income.
I'll leave it at that.
We should do better self policing...cause maybe someday, as they LET it get
worse & worse...they take the HAM bands away beause of it all...then sell the
frequency's

Subject: Re: [TenTec] Top receivers
When you and I were first licensed, there were probably one or more hams
ithin walking distance of our houses.
y mentor ( Harry, WA8PVA (SK) ) was halfway down the block on the other
ide of the street.
f he was home and awake, he was on the radio.
Now, with CC&Rs and HOAs everywhere, there's little overt evidence that
ham lives in a given neighborhood.
Back then, too, the local club was worth going to, with plenty of OTs to
elp us new guys out.
Maybe I'm being overly optimistic about human nature, but I think most
ams would be receptive to suggestions about improving the quality of
heir signals.
certainly would. A better signal improves the chances of other ops
nswering my call. As I venture out in to the world of digital
ommunications in the near future, any help will be appreciated.
he problem is, how do we pass along this information?

EVERY ONE of those problems is an OPERATOR problem, NOT an equipment

memorize their way through a multiple choice exam, far too many hams
don't have a clue about most things technical. And most of those who
don't also don't care. Indeed, the solution to a desire to compete is
MORE and BIGGER. The other guy isn't hearing me? Shout louder, buy a
bigger amp, crank the compression to 99, and buy the latest whiz-bang
equalizer and mic. Don't bother me with studying the fundamentals to
learn how to actually use what I already have properly. 73, Jim K9YC
