10/11 meter amps-my 2cents

Hi Y'all,
Before this gets into a big rf gunfight at the FCC coral :-) I believe the
majority of the hams on this "BOATANCHOR" list have been hams for a little
while. Me? Only for 40 or so years. My point is that all this back and forth
about 10/11 meter amps and their possible problems is being preached to the
choir.

It really boils down to us ol timers to help and assist the new guys coming
along and keeping our hobby from being sold to the highest commercial
bidder. How soon will we see on ebay "For Sale - 350kcs of the best world
wide communications spectrum available almost day and night - 14.0 to 14.35
Mhz- NR"  

If you know of a new ham using a spurious filled amp on 10m or planning to
then help him check it to see if it is okay. If it is not, help them to
correct it and they will probably learn more from that lesson then at
anytime in their learning experience of ham radio. IT WAS NOT BORING! And it
was one on one.

Also help them stop saying "Q" signals on voice, get them interested in
emergency disasters to assist when it all goes down, teach them direction
finding to get the nerds, etc. etc.

It is us ol farts here on this listserv that need to help the new ones come
along. That is how I got involved and I was only 10 at the time but could
not find  an Elmer until I was 15. 

That is my 2 cents, well maybe 1 1/2 but take it for what it is worth.
God bless and y'all have a happy forever.
73 es GLITC,
Bill
