Horrors Messing up the "Nets"
Horrors working DX from a "List" When Last Heard u were 4//5 4/5 4/5 Net guy..
give him the last number again?
Horrors making me with the dipole in the attic compete even up in contests with

The list goes on and on. Yet the above is the progression of Ham Radio. None of
us do all of it. All of us do Some of it.
Everyone has an OPINION as to what is OK and what is Not OK by their rules and
morals. Probably an honest poll of all on the topband reflector I doubt you
would
get many votes on the above list that were identical as to yes, no or maybe on
every point above. Given a bit of time I am sure I could think up a few more.
