I agree on the website, their older version was faster and easier to 
navigate..

I however totally disagree with the comment that your not a "real" ham if 
you don't participate on HF.  I have met the nicest people on 6m, we call it 
the magic band but I think some days it should be called the gentleman's 
band in place of 160m, which all I hear on there these days is old farts 
fighting over a frequency.

I hold an Extra class license and I hardly use HF.  SSTV on 20m, a little 
PSK on 80 or 40, and checking into the local nets on 80.  That's the extent 
of my operation on HF.  Just sick of the bickering, loud mouth, foul, and 
otherwise sickening behavior on the HF bands.

And don't go blaming the No-Code generation of HF operators.  The worst 
behaved ones I have heard on the air have been licensed since before the 
No-Code license, how do I know this?  Do a callsign lookup on ULS, not that 
hard....

Back to 6m and up, where the determined hams work on weak signal SSB which 
is far more challenging that HF.

73,

Scott
