Hi Richard & List;

You have to remember that ham radio requires a certain amount of knowledge.

I've heard people on vhf/uhf and they sound almost like CBER's.

People ignore them and they go away to there computer or wherever they go.

Ham radio is a culture where people who are pretty educated inhabit.

I have always felt that I'd rather have five people on the radio to talk 
with as opposed to 100 people that just don't make any sense when they talk.
