Attitude! Attitude! Attitude!
 
My own deeply held belief is that the genuine radio amateur is motivated by  
a deep curiosity.
This curosity is centered around the concept of using radio as a primary  
medium of communication but NOT to the exclusion of any interest grouping or  
sub-grouping.
For some it is a curiosity of one's fellow man across a country, region or  
globe. For others it is a curiosity about things technical or scientific. For  
some it is a curiosity and search for self-knowledge using a combination of  
technical and commuications skills.
This diversity of activity and interest is manifest in a variety of ways as  
acccountable and differentiated as almost the sum of the number of those  
individuals employed, involved and invested in the pursuit.
 
But does it really matter who what or why?
 
 
It is a truism that (no matter who originatedthe phrase)  " 'tis a far  
better thing we do than that which we might have ever done" !
 
We might just have wasted our time but we did not!
 
We lived and experienced being alive and dippd our toes in the great ocean  
ofnatural science.
That we did it as part of a global community of like-minded people is  one of 
the wonders of our achievement.
 
Let's face it who needs Windows and Gates ? they are both transparent to  RF!
 
And, as for "instant messaging"...................................if  someone 
would just reply when i call CQ we'd have that one cracked too!
