[LogPlus] Where the heck is Amateur Radio going?

[John and Mari Minke]

I haven't been listening to the DXpeditions. However, I seriously doubt
that the cause is vanity calls, license classes, etc. I think you will
find it is that of the times. Nobody gives a damn for their fellow man.
Amateur Radio is no exception, regardless of what part of the world you
live in. Heck we have road rage! Why not band rage!

Whatever! Hope you all manage to work Ducie. I'm still not back on the
air since my tower came down last November. Next Ducie DXpedition
perhaps - if there is one!
