Ok, I've got my finger out for you!

Well done how about pulling your finger out and getting a real license then or are you going to continue whining on about as the why not to progress, if theirs one thing I have learned in this hobby it's full of toe dippers that should have had their baby ticket revoked years ago.

Same old lines, I ain't biting. Got my finger out again though if it pleases you?

I wouldn't even classify it as a life style, yet so much bickering. If it's a dying hobby let it die. If teenagers are not interested, they're not interested.

In the mean time, I have a better proposal: why not have foundation at 10 watts, the intermediate at 100 watts, and 1000 watts for full licensees. A much better progression route for those who wish to take it.

I mostly agree, but it's not about bickering, it's about respect and attitudes which is seemingly lacking on all sides. Sign of the times though in society as a whole really.

It is indeed just a hobby, but to some I think it's a way of life who live and breath it. Being passionate about something is fine, being possessed by though is different.

I think power increases on own are not the way to entice progression, indeed I don't think there should be any enticing or encouraging. A set of licence groups are set and advised for all to take notice of, pick a licence class, go for it, get it, stick with or go for the next one, entirely down to the individual what to do or not to do end of. Those stuck up their own rear ends looking down on lower licence class holders should have theirs revoked if reported and are proved to have been less then civil with other hobby users of any licence class. Full or 'advanced' holders should always be setting the example of respect and courtesy.

I'm just waiting for my Inrico TM7 to arrive real radio? no but these new ways of having a chat are easy reliable and pretty good fun.

I'd much rather have a ragchew with a channel 19 muppet, than a QSO with a G call with that kind of attitude. Your head's so far up your own ar*e anyway I'd probably not be able to make out what you were saying

Farty wrote: ↑01 May 2018, 21:50 Agreed. It's nodders with that attitude that are doing the most to kill the hobby. I've given up trying to persuade new recruits not to walk when faced with the Werthers brigade. Theyre going to really enjoy themselves in another decaee or so when the only people left to talk to are other Werthers suckers.
