Kevin, I'm afraid you have used improper terminology and upset the demigods of the satellite community.
Some relevant definitions from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary: - Leisure (n): time free from work or duties - Hobby (n): a pursuit outside one's regular occupation engaged in especially for relaxation - Amateur (n): one who engages in a pursuit, study, science, or sport as a pastime rather than as a profession This quote sums up my thoughts about this unfortunate series of email threads: "We have met the enemy and they is us." - Pogo Cartoon, Walt Kelly 73 Clayton W5PFG On Sun, Oct 23, 2011 at 3:33 PM, Kevin Deane <summit...@live.com> wrote: > > As much as I enjoy the banter, animosity and sometimes really brilliant > posts, I want to remind everyone that this is a HOBBY! > > Amateur Radio. > > Shut up and have fun, some of you take this WAY TO SERIOUSLY. > > Kevin > KF7MYK > > > > _______________________________________________ > Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
