A Question Answered
For years now, various people have asked me why I haven't gotten my 'ticket'.
I've replied with the logical: not enough time, not enough money (it IS an expensive hobby), not enough energy. I'm NOT technically oriented.
Then too, I love being a SWL of 3.840. I love that voice in the night. I love being a 3.840 'commentator' (They may not admit it, but I enhance their 'group'). I love radio in all it's forms.
But after listening to 3.840 tonight and the conversations about:
1) cow farts
2) oil changes
3) signal strength
4) cholesterol meds
5) and some old coot asking Trish if her hubby 'let her' stay up all night to talk!
6) The Burrow Motel
7) eating at Denny's
It came to me in a flash! The real reason I don't get an amateur radio license became very clear; obviously I'm not stupid enough!

liveinthewire, I will try to engage in conversation re this topic w/you, as I do have some thoughts on your comments. But I don't have the time at the moment.
I DO want to thank you though, for being one of the few that not only reads the 3840Grudge Report, but comments, AND does so using a 'known nick'!
You are a brave HAM!
I have noticed that on 3840 many rules are being broken. Not just the jammers or drunks but the normal players on there swearing and being dumb. There has to be something else to talk about besides loops and bass btw there is a point when there is to much bass. It sounds like a fart in the bathtub. Something funny happened the other night, the local group of loop and bass heads were complaining about the contesters and even walking on them with their big amps. Humm is that legal? I thought if you were licensed for a band you could talk on it??? I could be wrong.... Maybee I will have to read their version of the rules. Or maybee they think the rules don't apply to them. How would that be? I don't think I would recommend listening to 3840 to people under the age of 18, it might give them a loop and bass conflict. Maybee they would also want to have alot of cats. Someone should make a recording that states not for children under 18 and play it everynight. I had a group of scouts last weekend and tuned in 3840 and had to turn it off quick after hearing the stupidity and language that was going on. And you are making an example? One scout said to me shoot lets just use cellphones, thats scary... Oh well Keep up the good work being ham radio operators if you can call yourselves that...

Face it, Evvy: the real reason you never got yout license is because you're too lazy to learn the code and too dumb to learn the theory. And Carl, KB6FJX, was never a participant in the 3840 group. What a couple of losers!

I may be a loser, depending on one's definition, though I certainly don't think so.
OTOH, YOU, by chosing to post anonymously, are definitely a 'hit & run' type at the best, or a COWARD at the worst.
Evvy, maybe you could loan Carl a wheelchair to use while he's recovering from his stomach-staple surgery.
