[Elecraft] My "Attitude"

[WILLIS COOKE]

I certainly agree with you Brendan.  If we are going to keep this avocation healthy we must share knowledge whenever we can.  I was one of the ones attacked by this accusation of being recently licensed and never learning anything again.  I hope that this ridiculous thread will die soon because I am confident that the accusers are not as educated as the accused.
