-
- I think you need to find another club.. Here in the Southland we have
- a group called SCARA. This Club or Group has been in existance for
- a little over three years, and our membership stands at 237. Of this
- number 175 are newcomers to the Hobby, ie KC, KD and KE calls...When
- a call goes out for assistance you will find a mix of the Old and New
- responding, from help with a tower raising, to planning a Dinner or a
- Breakfast, the Newsletter committee is made up a Two Hams with about
- 10 years in the Hobby and the rest are newly licensed Hams under a
- year.
- This raises a question, What are you looking for, and what have you
- offered this club you belong to.. If they dont fulfill your needs, look
- elsewhere. We the Olde Pharts make it a point to help and be available
- when someone comes looking for advice, and fully support newcomers to
- the Hobby, (its only a Hobby) I think you need to look around before
- you start painting everyone with the same brush. If your experiences
- have been that bad it might lead others to think there is something
- wrong with you and your attitude. Get out and look around and stop
- the complaining, do something, be somebody.

- Subject: Passed Tech+ -- the fun begins...
-
- I passed my exam for Tech+ yesterday! My thanks to the folks here who
- shared their wisdom with me. Thanks also to the ARRL; the code tapes and
- the "Now You're Talking" book taught me a lot and made everything easy.
-
- I'll be interested in getting a handheld and also a low-cost HF transceiver
- for QRP work.
-
- Some questions...
-
- Is there a difference between "twin band" and "dual band" HT's? As far as I
- can tell from the ads, both are able to transmit and receive on two bands.
-
- Any recommendations for new or used low-power HF transcievers? Also, is there
- a sort of "QRP club" anywhere?
-
- tnx,
-
- -Dave

- Subject: requesting opinion on handhelds
-
- I have looked at several kinds and brands of handhelds to buy, and I have
- decided on buying either a Yaesu ft530, or a Kenwood th78a. I would
- appreciate anyones opinion on which is better, or ups and downs of either one.
- I would also appreciate it if anyone would like to give their opinions
- about a different kind of radio (base set first, or different brands)
-
- Thanks

- Subject: Re: Earth Ground (was: ARRL And Gay Hams Settle Complaint)
-
- Because some people choose to do things in public that should be kept
- private, you feel it necessary to dismiss gays as a group as "disgusting",
- and compare us to child molesters and the like? What college was this,
- again? I thought well-educated people were supposed to be open-minded and
- accepting of other cultures. Yes, sodomy is still illegal in some states,
- but not many. That term also applies to certain types of male/female
- activities, so you might want to make sure you pull the shades and turn out
- the lights before you get creative with your wife/girlfriend in those states
- as well. I'm sorry you're disgusted, but I'm not sorry I'm gay. I do,
- however, have a suggestion as to where on your anatomy you can install your
- iron re-bar...
