Domenico, I already came across your articles. The reason I brought it up was that I see so many complain about new hams not knowing this, or that and the other too but then most don't really try to help and teach.
I live by the principle that what you learn you must share and what you know you must teach. That's the only way we as society evolve and that includes ham radio :). But again, bashing on the newcomers doesn't help anything. If they're only shown how to work a satellite with a HT and a store bought antenna then that's what we get. Let's help these folks get to the next step and show them that you can actually have a real QSO on a satellite but in an informative way, not talking down on them. 73 Mike K5TRI On Sep 22, 2011, at 11:49 PM, i8cvs wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Michael Schulz" <msch...@creative-chaos.com> > To: <amsat-bb@amsat.org> > Sent: Friday, September 23, 2011 5:20 AM > Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Two Questions > >> Domenico, > > <snip> >> >> There seems to be a lot of bashing of clueless newbs wherever I turn on >> the Internet when it comes to ham radio.
