[SixClub] 4U1WB on the air yesterday

[Monte L. Simpson]

Mr. Ziko,

You are so far out in left felt with your bigoted and prejudicial
Comments regarding Technician class licensees.  You and your ilk
Have nothing but your hateful gut feelings to back up these kind
of comments.  It is people of your ILK that ruin ham radio not the
technicians.

To the club leader, please strike my name from the membership
Immediately.  I don't need to have this kind of trash delivered
to my email box.

I hope other Technicians who support this group will do the same!

Jerry and the multitude,

That is what happens when you make getting a Amateur Radio license
too easy 
by dropping requirements and createing a "no code" license class.
This gives 
poor operators, LID's, and people that have no business being on the
air the 
ability to get a Ham Radio license. I have been a Ham with a general
ticket 
since 1975 and over the last 10-15 years Amateur Radio has been
slowly 
declining, going to S#@&........ If I didn't love the hobby as much
as I do 
I would have sold all my equipment and got more involved into my
first love 
of photography.

That was my two cents worth.

It will be interesting to see how many people disagree with me. I
would like 
that think that the majority agree.
