[50mhz] Mentoring needed........

[K4OWR]

:::: The same thing goes on here in east TN, where the e-skip rarely 
blesses us, and Lord knows we need all the DX help we can get. There is 
a crew of guys that hang out constantly on the calling Fx. No amount of 
talking to them does any good. They simply are incapable of 
comprehending the concept. Their answer is that it's good that they hang 
out there so someone will notice them.....the only thing is that all 
have mediocre stations because they report hearing my 2KW and giant beam 
as S6. I have simply given up trying. Mentoring only works when someone 
wants to learn, or even cares.
