<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>As I sit around reading this list (and waiting
for my first callsign to be processed by the FCC) I'm not feeling too great
about all of this "no brainer" talk and assumption that all newbies
are the root of all Evils on ham bands. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I haven't even gotten out there yet and already
I've been made to feel (as a Tech NoCode) as if I am (pre)viewed as an
idiot and a criminal.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Thanks, guys. Just remember, you were once
new too. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Btw, just because the test may seem simple
doesn't necessarily mean all who took it are.</FONT></DIV>
