What if I combine my skills of combing the bands in addition to using 
the new technology? You mean to tell me that being licensed since 1994 
was just a total waste of time, I am considered a "lesser" operator? 
Come on.

In my industry, if you don't embrace technology, it's usually the other 
way around and eventually you are shown the door.

I guess in order to get my "better" operator status back, I need to 
bring back the old hammarlund rx and the heathkit radio from 1995 and 
try to compete in a contest with a paper and pen?
