[CQ-Contest] radio-sport.net web site or copy and paste journalism

[Jukka Klemola]

Wally,
The Jamies of the world simply operate that way.

They contest about how many people go to read their webpage.
By doing what he is doing, he sure gets readers.

But to the question, are the readers happy .. not all are.

Do the readers get information .. yes they do.

Is all information delivered as the sources suggest?
No.
---> Jamie makes great drama, without thinking who he dramatises.

Why does he not think?
He is not a contester. He does not know the sport.

Once he wrote bad things about me.
I corrected them.
Jamie corrected his article.

But to me, the harm was already done.


Also, Jamie had a friend's call on his website with non-favoring information.
I did actions to find out what actually had happened and Jamie
corrected the webpage.
Also Jamie's source corrected the webpage ..


As a strategy improvement for all Jamies out there:
This is radio sport.
We radiosporters think our sport is fun.
To me, it is impossible to show the Jamie-types' webpages to people
near me, but not actually contesters.

Please understand the reason.

You do not really have positive news.

You just make tabloids of how bad the sport is.

The webpages you show use words like radio sport or contesting.

Think again.


I would like to see some positive news.
Not ones splattering all over the scene, especially the newcomers.

I know it is a tuff change.. to think how on earthe there could be
anything positive about this.


In case you miss the competences of creating something good .. please
take your stuff to splatter some other hobby.


73,
Jukka OH6LI
