[Elecraft] External sound card advice needed to attach to, K3

[Bob McGraw]

Joe makes a good point.

I was asked by a club to teach a new hams class in preparation for the 
license exam.   I inquired as to what I would be teaching. The answer 
came back "the test!".     No thank you, if I can't teach Ohms law, how 
to cut a 1/2 wave dipole, and operating procedure, I'll just stay under 
my rock.   I've been licensed for 60 years and had my First Class Radio 
Telephone license before I obtained my ham license, that was while in 
high school in 1960.  I guess that makes me an old f**t as well.

It seems today that every box of Cracker Jacks has an Extra Class 
license included as a prize.

But there is no "teaching" ... give them a book with all the license
questions, let them memorize them and get a license without a CW exam
or test that amounts to anything - even for Amateur Extra these days.

ARRL is too busy promoting WinStink and other quasi commercial activity
to spend pages in QST and/or staff time at hamfest fora on good
operating practice for digital modes.

You've got about 19 years on me but I don't feel like an old f***.
I do feel like someone trying to hold back the tide with a push broom.
