Total agreement here.? Amateur radio - elmering, helping each
other out, and so on - there used to be a code of conduct, which
is a good thing. ? I think it's still published and in the
handbook, but I rarely hear anyone mention it.

This is TRUE ham radio.

Today I was greatly and pleasantly surprised.? I'd
mentioned that I was thinking about converting my BITX20 to 40
meters, and I'd related some stories of frustration with the
local ham community (generosity and willingness to help others
seems to be a rarity in this area).
When I got our mail, there was a package in it - with a
BITX40!? The housing it was in is very attractive as far as my
wife and I are concerned - and perfect for our car.? The neat
part was that you could see the circuitry in it - and the case
also would lend itself to portable operation!
I won't embarrass the sender, but I will say it came from
another state.? For many years, I've insisted that there was
no such thing as Karma... but this suggests otherwise!
To the sender (not named) - a big Thank you!
from both of us, and (laugh) no worry about "paying forward" -
we do things all the time like that, whenever we can (we may
not have much money, but we do have skills and knowledge we
share).? Generosity and helping others is not a big price for
gifts like this - in our opinion!
