- Don't be too hard on Mikey folks, he used to be a lowly tech (N1LMB)
- himself (just upgraded in April), and besides no-one wished him a

- Lessee:
-
- 9) No-codes use ATV, packet, and DTMF to control homebrew robots
- 10) No-codes experiment with DSP, packet, and satellites
- 11) No-codes build battery backed-up power supplies and configure
- antennas for portable and emergency power applications
- 12) No-codes help out with public service communications.
- 13) No-codes do administrative and crowd-control stuff at VE sessions
- 14) No-codes get inner-city kids interested in science and technology
- 15) No-code TCP/IP experts build _real_ networks
- 16) No-codes practice communications skills on all the repeaters around
- 17) No-codes join AMSAT and help fund satellites
-
- Of course, replace 'no-code' with 'ham' in 1-17 above... :-|

- I can't believe anyone pays any attention to posts like Mikey's. Oh
- well, everyone have a real nice day anyway. Best 73s and Ten Dash
- Four! :+) Does anyone else remember the Dr. Who episode where he goes
- to the planet where he meets Leela, where her clan is always saying
- "Curs-ed be the evil Tesh!"? [Turns out she's mispronouncing "Tech"]
