[TenTec] Top receivers

[kc9cdt at aol.com]

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

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
