The Real People Network, 3.840
is supposed to be seeing some live HAM action tonight as early as 10PM! But in caution, I must tell you that I’ve heard this story before. Still, it’s a rumor that only takes turning that dial to check out.
Or so I heard from a buff Billie w6wbj. Now don’t get me wrong, I do not personally KNOW that Billie is ‘buff’; I’ve never met the HAM, nor has he sent out recent pics!
(Could it be some HAMS like to see me jump through hoops to put out news on the HamFanz Grudge Report? If that IS the case, then I apologize dear readers, and promise to never believe anything this person tells me again!)
And yes, I’ve dubbed the 3.840 HAMS, the ‘Real People Network’ in face of the cutie names: The Little People Network 3.765 and 1.957, and even The Short Attention Span Network. 3.815. If you don’t like the moniker, post your alternatives!
But again, I digress!
I DO know that waiting to get on 3.840 till Jim ‘GU’ ki6ku gets home from work (as much as I like hearing GU), is just plain silly!
I realize that grandpa artie was a night person, therefore he drew other night people (of which I’m one myself), but I also know some HAMS are willing and available at an earlier hour and would enjoy the company of known pals.
Perhaps if some REAL PEOPLE were available on air to chat with, message, email oh, say, from 10PM on, to slide into the ‘night folks’ when, and if, they do show, then 3.840 would be revitalized (and without grandpa artie).
You don’t want to hear 3.840 transmitting nothing but band sounds? You don’t want to upgrade your license just to catch up with someone you know on the lower bands?
Then HAMS need to be on 3.840 when others HAMS drop in to listen and chat on a ‘routine and predictable’ basis. Once word get around that 3.840 is an ‘active frequency’ again, why, Real Peoples, anything could happen.
But I do believe it will take a concerted, planned, effort...

Nothing much off topic here!
And thank you so much for the compliments, let me tell ya, they are few and far between!
Must say though, you have ESP! As it's been on my mind lately to just shut it all down!
Not only am I not getting any donations lately; and it ALL costs me about $50 mo. now, but I easily spend 20-30 hrs PER WEEK (also unpaid-and u know there're things I can do which would pay!). And that doesn't include time spent on 'favors' for HAMS.
Just to be 'hated', dissed, made fun of, not even supported anymore?
If I just 'STOP', delete it all; I can still enjoy being a SWL, and wouldn't be missed!
Your site now has livehamcams & chat (though for the life of me, I don't know why they just don't use HamFans Yahoo Group, where pics etc can be 'attached', messages would not only be kept, but threaded and archived, and reach over 110 folks, HAMS & SWL, which is not the case in your chat.) I thought of putting a chat on a HAMFANZ page; but didn't want to compete w/you, and I know GU specifically asked you to start it. (He sure is good at asking people to do stuff!)
Plus now there are many blogs (though mine is really the ONLY unbiased one, LOL)
HamFanz (& all it's 'parts')gets good hits, but little participation anymore.
And after all, that's why I started all this, (as I'm sure you remember, then being a SWL and part of it's inception), was to provide a 'place' for HAMS & Fans, but if it's no longer needed...
...There may no longer be a REASON to continue dumping my meager resources of time, energy, and $$$, into it.
I've definitely been cogitating on this!
Folks may soon find that it's all gone! And it probaly wouldn't matter to most.
