Hi All,
As Dave says activity on 136 is at an all time low
(on 73 its non-existant)and all this at a time when we have developed
our equipment and techniques so that communication is much better than it
was a year ago.Much of this lack of activity is due to the carping that has been
going on over the past year.I myself have been criticised on many occasions,yet
the source of this criticism is now very pleased with himself to have made it
across the Atlantic.Some of us are more sensitive to criticism than others
especially when it is un-constructive. Surely we can co-operate with each
other and if there is a good reason why a "Gentlemans agreement " should be
broken as in Andys case and as there was some time ago when Peter operated QRSS
in the CW part of the band, then we ought to understand this.
It is blatant uncaring stamping on other
people and un-warranted criticism that has driven people off the
band.
Lets live together and enjoy LF even if we don't
understand or care for another mode of operation. We've come a long way in
the past year lets continue to experiment and progress, after all thats what
Amateur radio is all about.
Happy New Year. 73s
Laurie
