[CQ-Contest] Wireless Headphone System

[Joe]

Wow!
I guess Contesting is not an aspect of this hobby for those with not a 
lot of money.

I am amazed at the level of Flames and number of them, I got from MANY 
people on this E-Mail list about my comment about $200 dollars being 
"Low Cost".

AGAIN! I was NOT picking on him about the product he was posting about. 
Just the comment about it being "LOW COST" Alternate or not.

I guess I am in a super minority here. But I'm sorry, $200 dollars is 
close to 50% of my whole station cost! So at least to me it isn't "Low 
Cost" Even relative to what one Flamer Said of being a "Low Cost" 
"Alternative". Even being an "Alternative" Low Cost is Relative.

Like a 2017 BMW ALPINA B7 - at a "Low Cost" of $137,000

Compared to a

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Coupe $397,500

The Beemer is Low cost.  But is it?

Again, I'm a Minority here I guess, When my whole station cost less than 
$500 bucks, and 90% of the other hams that are local to me that I know, 
in my neighborhood $200 is far from "Low Cost"

I mean Like Many many have no hesitation to go out and buy a almost $100 
dollar Signal-link so they can try FT-8. Yet I have been having a Blast 
on FT-8, and my "Signal-link" is lucky to have $10 bucks of parts in it 
and 30 minutes of assembly time. And thats even at Radio Shack parts prices.

Sorry gang for this message.  But I was truly amazed at the level of off 
list Flaming I got for that comment.
