Publicity can be magical and when it comes to ham radio, it's great magic.

publicity to boost ham radio's profile

Certainly a better boost for the hobbys profile than this publicity:

When I were a lad, amateur radio was something generated from
technical interest, information being spread from the odd bit of a
feature in "Wireless World" or some other such mag.

Then it was off to the library to find books on metal bashing, valves
and suchlike. There was no way you could bring a box home, plug in and
start operating.

The result- A more limited group of users, but all with a common
technical interest.

In my opinion the hobby was all the better for it.

Yup, or learned from your Dad, an Uncle or mate who already did it.

Then it was off to the library to find books on metal bashing, valves
and suchlike. There was no way you could bring a box home, plug in and
start operating.

Whilst you *could* by commercial solutions for RC models in those
days., my Xmas present one years was a plywood RC cabin cruiser it and
a the parts for an RC kit. Ok, I didn't design it myself (I was only
10) but I had to assemble and tune it and did actually get it working
(albeit with restricted range).

The result- A more limited group of users, but all with a common
technical interest.

Yup. As it was here in the good old days, before the influx of people
more used to ****ter and babble.

In my opinion the hobby was all the better for it.

It was indeed. Everything is until a minority ruin it for everyone.

Daughter used to attend a local Sunday-morning motorcycle off-road
track and it used to attract kids from about 5 years old up to adults.
The vast majority used to respect both the other riders (you would
often see older kids helping the younger ones) and the rules of the
venue.

Then you got a minority of 'youth' who though the rules didn't apply
to them and ran big bikes with next to no exhausts and you could see
parents ushering their youngsters off the track as soon as they
appeared.

Then the neighbours complained about the nose levels and how they
often ran after the agreed cutoff time (the management couldn't get
them off the track) and so the Local Council pulled the entire
facility for everyone. 5 individuals ruining it for 60 others.

Now, said trouble makers weren't bothered because they would just go
elsewhere and (illegally in many cases) annoy someone else (until they
got chased off / arrested / shot) but they really needed a good
talking to re what being a good citizen is all about. Hopefully they
are all in prison now, assuming some aggrieved parents/ landowner
hadn't got to them first.

Well there is not a lot to add to that!

The only thing I would say, is that at one time voicing that totally
correct opinion would invite retaliation of a physical type from the
27 Meg merchants.

I actually got my licence when the transition was taking place, the
two local Post Office enforcement people were very busy and also
licensed amateurs. They were grossly overworked!

It seemed that after I got my license the band activity went like a
switch, from discussing technicalities on a lot of subjects not purely
wireless, to the mundane day to day garbage using language that
sounded infantile.

I don't bother now, I haven't renewed the license for decades.

There is ... 'Oh the irony'. Crazy Jim blames the dumbing down of the

He is acting just like the very CB'ers he tries to hold responsible.

What about the contesters. Are they really not able to voluntarily agree to
leave space for existing people who just want to chat? And what is all this
59 when its bleedin obvious they cannot hear the other station well to start

I was at one time thinking of becoming licensed, but the behaviour of the
contesters and the old timers who think they are the law made me just be a
