[SOC] New Member qualifications

[Rich Jones]

Charles, I thought you would like to know, in rare SOC fashion, only your email, out of the hundreds I receive from other SOC members went straight to my Yahoo Spam folder.  Good to know some where out there is a genuine SOC member in tride and true SOC form. Thats just one more for the list. 73 Rich K8UV

Further member qualifications



-have very high end radios, but never learn to use all the knobs

-stop to ragchew when running from a rare DX location

-remember faces but not call signs

-remember call signs but not faces

-go to hamfests for the food

-have to emory board the contacts on ur straight key prior to op

-find that the filing of ur contacts has eroded the contacts to uselessness

-sending anyway

-tuning up on 14.230 because ur antenna is resonate there, not because of nasty ops that reside there

-pretend a serious attitude toward ham radio when in company of FOC members



Oh so many more but a real SOC would not spend the time to make a list.
