Subject: This Hobby is getting expensive...
Message-ID: <199512181258.EAA06160@ix10.ix.netcom.com>
HI OMs!
This hobby sure is costing me money.We all have spent lots of
our hard earned bucks on transceivers,amps,towers,antennas,etc. How
about the Miscellaneous dollars spent on things that will help ensure
our continued enjoyment of the hobby?
I have been slowly adding antennas here at my QTH. I now
have them for 160,75,40,6,2,222,432,903,and 1.2 ghz. This qth is an
extremely quiet one except for one thing. I have a wideband clock on
every band from 160-6 meters. It is also known as an electric
fence;about five miles worth. The tick,tick,tick does not interfere
with dxing or contesting signals as would other types of noise but I am
afraid that continued exposure to the tick,tick,tick could lead to
insanity in a manner similar to a chinese water torture. Occasionally I
can hear the arcing-sparking noise that is the telltale sign of the
fence and vegetation coming into contact. Yesterday I met with the
owner and explained to him the basics of qrn. I also "volunteered" to
keep a 1/4 mile stretch of fence,bordering my property, clear of
vegetation. It took me 2 hours to clear massive amounts of
hemlock,weeds,vines,and a fallen tree from the fence. How much is that
in time for dollars? The tick,tick,tick is still there and I'll monitor
closely for the occasional arcing noise. I now "own" the maintenance
rights to an electric fence. If you want to play...
More expenses-
I hadn't spoken to my next door neighbor for awhile so in the
spirit of Christmas I decided to scoot over to his yard and say hi.
After the customary greetings he asked me the one question I had hoped
he would never ask. "Do you own a CB?" Visions of @$#@% ran through my
head as I wondered (but knew) what the next comment would be." Well it
isn't CB but actually..." was my response. "Why do you ask?"
I braced for the bad news knowing that my contesting days were over.
"I hear interference on my cordless phone" he said. Those damn ,piece
of crap, cordless phones! Probably my 6m kw signal. Nothing I can do
will ever keep my 6m signal from getting into his 40-60mhz bandwidth
cordless phone. I explained the nature of the beast and that I would
try to come up with a solution. I have. I will spend 150 dollars more
of my hard earned money and buy him a 900 MHz spread spectrum type
cordless phone.
This will solve the problem for him but create a problem for me. What
if his wide screen projection TV has problems next?
I won't even get into the money spent on wining and dining the XYL
the week prior to a contest. There are countless other expenses that go
under the Ham Radio related items debit column. If I added them all up
over my ham radio years I probably would have had enough to put up a
few 200 ft towers with contract maintenance!. If you want to play...
This hobby is getting expensive. Merry Christmas and HNY de Ken
KP4XS
P.S. I suppose there really is nothing that can be done for the
tick,tick,tick?

***************************************************************************
You will notice that I changed the MultiOP class. I had several people tell me
that this is what it is called. Well according to rules in QST it is called
Multi-Operator. I know in the past it may have been called this but you are
operating this years contest and not last years. I am not taking sides with
ARRL, just pointing out how confusing the new write ups are.
I guess this score posting is like a pileup. Until you are on the other end
you do not realize what is going on. I get scores with no totals, no score at
all, no class, multis added together and the info imbedded into 2 pages of
reading. Also some people state that they are in a certain class and then
someone says that is not a class and writes me. Well I am not on any rule
committee and do not care if you operate in a class from the bathroom. I will
only put down what you send me. If anything is wrong with it that is between
you and the ARRL. So there is no need to email me about it. Questions have
rose on packet. I know what it was in the past but what is it this year? Not
very clear in QST. Again I want to say that I only put down what you send me.
It does make me look like a dummy sometimes, I am sure but believe me I do
know the difference in classes but will argue with no one. These are your
scores and will be posted as you want them to be. I am doing my best to make
them right.
Also if you do not send me a class, I will put you in the highest class I
can find. I have no other choice. Comment was made that single ops where in
the Multi class. Well they either sent me no class or said they were there
because of packet.
