[Elecraft] 75m

[David Gilbert]

I will have been a ham for 50 years next year, and I believe I can say 
with some authority that the average operator of today is no worse than 
the ones I came across back then.  Our hobby is not free of whackos any 
more than general society is, and if anything we had to suffer more of 
them 50 years ago when ham radio was actually a somewhat mainstream 
communication medium.

I don't think ham radio has changed as much as you might have.

The hobby just isn't what it use to be anymore mostly because the operators today aren't the operators of yesteryear. Anyone wanna buy an exquisite station with very low hours that's rarely in use these days???? I've lost all interest in the hobby. View it on my QRZ'd page & email me if interested.
