[Boatanchors] Good Advice

[Mike-K5VSE]

I have remained silent on this subject for a long time, but felt it was 
finally time to sound off. I do not own any imported equipment, nor do I do 
any VHF work at all. Can't stand the stuff that goes on there. I've been 
licensed for over 50 years, and have always enjoyed the hobby until 
recently. Now there are those that do not know how to properly tune a 
transmitter with their memorized license. I don't think the CW requirement 
is necessary any longer, but still operate that mode on occasion. With the 
exception of my Advanced license, all my testing was done in front of an FCC 
examiner. When I get a signal report, it is always complimenting me on my 
audio quality. There are no audio enhancements at my station, just an old 
Shure 444D and a ceramic non amplified D-104. Those that use those audio 
racks are very uneducated as far as I'm concerned.

Have a great day es 73

And no, 73 is NOT plural!
