[Milsurplus] Boatanchor Ennui: Is He Wrong?

[David Stinson]

I was talking with a "grumble buddy" the other day
concerning our "boatanchor radio" hobby and its future.

"Dave, for every twenty guys with a garage or storage
locker full of crap, there's maybe *one* who has heated
a soldering iron and actually finished a project and got it
on the air in the last 10 years.   
They all have the "' 'round-Tuit" disease
and it's going to stay that way until their stuff goes to 
the dump."

I told him he was being cynical- that there were 
at least twice that many guys who actually finished
a project and got it on the air.  

What's your perspective?
