@mike2ka I did not suggest I should be President of the ARRL, another ham
made up the joke picture and sent it to me and I posted it. As I say to my
students I hate the wortd sorry, because if I punched you in the nose and
then said “sorrY”, that would not fix it. Sorry is not doing it again, yet
you continue to toss out insults after “sorry.”
Dick? Speak of what is missing in your life?
I like this one better than the other critical ham videos Burt (and like
the radio / hike trip videos even better!). You got some valid points here.
The bottom line I guess is: ham radio is about experimenting and personal
contacts. Just act normal, don’t try to make it more than it really is. I
totally agree. Keep it up!
A sport is something you play? Is playing cards a sport? Is playing video
games a sport? You don’t get excersize playing those, I don’t think most
people would consider playing cards a sport. However, fishing is a sport
and you don’t get exercise fishing! Now I don’t know if there is such a
thing as radio “sport” but there are definetly ways of getting exercise
while doing ham radio. You are just a very narrowminded individual!
You seem fairly experienced as a ham; you should know that just because YOU
can hear a person trying to make contact, doesn’t mean that the person
calling DX can hear the person trying to respond, this is pretty basic
propagation fundamentals.
@burt2481 My point was that just because YOU and the responder can HEAR the
caller doesn’t mean he can HEAR the responder. That’s all I said, you can
read whatever you want into it. There are several reasons why a caller may
not be able to hear a responder.
if its so crap why are you a ham ?
The soap is ready, my call is obvious, how about your call? Oh, you are a
wimp, you hide behind “32Gofast”
I must be very important to be the cause of people not getting a license.
You are still a hiding wimp
Hummmmm?
haha you are such a troll Burt.
Ever heard of fox hunting? It’s a ham radio sport 😛
I never knew you made so many videos but Im glad I skimmed through a number
before bumping into this one , love it too ! But whassup with YouTube
censoring some of your videos ? I want to see the onea bout rude AM’ers !
How bout the rude 2Mssb’ers ? If you dont have at least a pair of stacked
10’s and 500 watts , they treat you like a novice . Keep up the great work
, hope to talk to you some day on the radio , maybe on our next trip to
Cape . Jeff N1AKN see my website
Great content Burt !! Keep up the great work !!!
Classy typical of a CBer
If my video irritate you SO bad, Why are you watching it???
@brontoab1 You don’t get exercise fishing? The boat loads itself, carries
itself out to the dock, hauling in a big fish is not exercise? Fishermen
wait for their catch to hop in the boat? There a few ways of getting
exercise in ham radio, most hams though sit on their butts cackeling.
“or off-topic” “provoking readers into an emotional response” that is what
you do when you say their hobby sucks, and that it’s full of idiots. And
sure, not everyone has all the indians in their canoe. But, you’re not that
good either, and if you’re like this on the internet. I can’t imagine how
you behave on the air… And sir, i have since i got my license only run 2
QSO’s on HF with my father, since im studying i dont have much time for any
hobbies… Tho i have run some QSO’s on VHF.
Lot of meaningful conversations with people around the world–on VoIP Ham
programs. Echolink, CQ100, HamSphere. I became a Ham when I was 13, got my
Advanced class ticket at 14. Then I lost interest. I am 29 now and hearing
your videos makes me remember why I became fed up with the hobby years ago.
All enthusiast communities are diverse and thus you will never agree with
others all the time and if you did wouldn’t that be mundane? That call sign
followed by “nothing heard” serves to indicate to the other station that if
they had indeed called they were not heard, not dissimilar to the
redundancy style process used by the essential services during scheduled
weekly/monthly radio checks (at least that’s how they do it here).
I listened to your rant and was quite dismaid by what you shared I started
amateur radio as a novice ( Coded ) and worked the way up to tech. with
code then to Gen. with a cert. for 23wpm code so that tells you that i span
25+ years have done almost everything I wanted to try BUT 1 of your
statements I heard was your child passed her test for Tech+ well BIG whoop
my elmer was a coded extra at 13 so what there to brag about look his call
up N4GFB and years as extra.
some of the things you talk about like repeating info could be that on
there side the signal from you was not so great and want to make sure your
RATTASSed was being heard correctly 😀
have a pissy day N4SXX
what a lid.Maybe still has his OBOZO sticker on back of his Prius.
the most boring man on the planet. what a cock
Negative Nancy.
I you just talk negatively about ham radio why have you spent so much money
on it?
