Amateur radio is not for contesting. Amateur radio is not a sport, it is for
communications...meaningful communications. Exchanging signal reports and
series numbers or such other drivel is not what amateur radio was intended for.
We need to start getting back to RADIO and COMMUNICATIONS,
Perhaps I can give you some insight at various levels of though as to why new
hams are NOT getting on the air.
What I'm about to say should not be mistaken for the words of someone with an

Mr. Hinton,
You have hit the nail right on the head! I have a really busy life the last
many months and want to get study in for my Extra class ticket. I have my ARRL
VE Credentials but cannot give a test until I have that Extra ticket in hand.

Echolink is just another computer messenger. Echolink is not ham radio, it has
no place in ham radio, and fails the test even as a tool of ham radio. Echolink

that alot of people want it to die so that they can make a buck with it like
some of the GMRS repeater owners do, and then the PS agencies /
