Last night at the Orange Club
meeting, I saw another testament to the dumbing down of America and ham
radio.....
The question was asked why the 147.06 rptr was down and the answer given
was "It was down for maintenance"....I could not believe my
ears....at the end of the meeting I walked to the new ham who made that
statement and looked him in the eye and said "Nice LIE...its off
because the license expired a month ago and it was still on the air
illegally..." He replied yep....
Little white lie IMHO.? Yes it's down for
"maintenance".? You didn't ask for the details:
"license maintenance".? ;)
I suppose they could've temporarily put someone else's callsign on it
until the renewal was completed.? Since no one knows Morse anymore
just make sure they don't use a voice ID.
