You know, Dragos, you deserve to be on my ignore list. You are now one of 2. You don't get it. Ham radio is a privilege and you are ready to just abuse whatever you can. That's wrong. Get your license and call sign. It isn't about "old fart mentality", it's about a body of knowledge you should master. It sounds like you are insecure about remembering this body of knowledge. Too bad. Because it's easy. Get your s*** together bro.
I agree Drew.
As a licensed Ham operator I'm glad it's not plugged up with every tom dick and harry that have no license, clue, or class.
