Re: Group Moderation Announcement #Admin
Thanks for the comments Andy. Forming this group came of the back of "Red Rag" that there's no real place to discuss non-technical stuff. I run three other Groups.io groups, and thought I'd see if

Re: Group Moderation Announcement #Admin
As owner of the RSGB-Workshop Group, can I first of all thank you for starting a forum that looks like it will remove the heated non-technical posts there.? ?These were causing several of our

Re: Nevertheless #Fringe #Duplicate
Gareth, Since when did the opinion (which you're entitled to hold) and pontification of a few who regard themselves as "elite" become the "truth" of Amateur Radio? You may be entitled to your

Re: Nevertheless #Fringe #Duplicate
This appears to be a duplication of views already expressed, adding nothing new to the previous similar post.. Those who wish to discuss this thread are obviously welcome to, but those not interested

Re: Nevertheless #Fringe #Duplicate
Having 'privileges that are not available to the general public' does not make you ¡®elite¡¯, however much you would like to think it does. All you have actually done is taken a test around the

Nevertheless #Fringe #Duplicate
Nevertheless, we who have Full licences are an elite because we have privileges that are not available to the general public, and it is a characteristic to be jealously guarded. (And those with the

Re: New UK Entry Level Licence proposed #Licensing
I always hear alarm bells when people describe themselves as 'elite' as they are usually the only ones who perceive themselves as such. The desire to maintain perceived eliteness has, throughout

Re: New UK Entry Level Licence proposed #Licensing
The path of progression is straight forward and the foundation licence is pitched at a ridiculously low level as it stands. It has been passed by 5 and 6 year old children, how stupidly easy should we

Re: New UK Entry Level Licence proposed #Licensing
How many licence classes do we need? GIven that the current foundation exam has been sat and passed by 5 and 6 year old children it don't think it's possible to dum things down any further!

Re: New UK Entry Level Licence proposed #Licensing
The foundation licence is a beginner licence and it should have been time limited from it's inception. It was sold to an unwilling amateur population as a means to an end, unfortunately for many

Folks, The group is barely three days old, and I've already had complaints about other members, plus a message calling for moderator involvement. Time for a quick moderator intervention. I'm not a

I cannot comment on the RAE after it became multiple choice. I took the RAE in 1975 when it was an exam in which you had to write out all the answers. It was difficult (I have a copy of the exam I

Listening around 160m and 80m on a winter¡¯s evening to some G3s and 4s, I would suggest that if the old RAE produced operators of the standard encountered there, and that you consider that this is

Re: My stance ... #Fringe
Mmm, a Trumpism, if ever I heard one. I think you really mean that "the RAEwas passed with ease by (those) 14-year-olds of greater than average scientificand mathematical ability", but to suggest that
