[Qcwa] CW

What sense dose it make to minimize those achievements that are so important
to others:

I worked damn hard to get my GROL w/ Radar and feel it a milestone in my
professional career as an Avionics/Aircraft Technician.  I am also an FAA
Licensed A&P/IA (Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic with Inspection
Authorization), I worked damn hard for those tickets as well.

<Doug K7ABX also wrote: "...Bash books" for FAA exams and"cram courses" for
licensing.>

Again, I worked damn hard to get my Commercial Pilot license with
Single/Multi-engine and Instrument Ratings.

brought into ham radio this year?', or "I am Elmering 20 people right now!">

This is right on, lets try and focus on this type of activity.  I mean, is
it a case of - "...my Daddy can Beat up your Daddy..."?  I think the Ham
community is better than that.
