Hi Steve:
I didn't mean that we don't welcome beginners, just that, with all
the hassle of FD, it's sometimes pretty easy to become preoccupied
with other things and to give the impression of being disinterested
when you're really not.
We also urge all newly licensed ops to join us as well.

That depends on the club. Just last week I sent out letters to every
newly (since Jan 07) licensed/upgraded ham within an hour's drive of
Topsham ME inviting them to take part in the KS1R/N1TRC operation on Field Day.
Given that many FD operations have GOTA operations, I expect that we
are not the only ones welcoming beginners.

Hi Jason, et al:
For what it's worth, and generally UNfortunately for all concerned,
Field Day is probably the very WORST TIME for a new operator (to
the area) to go to a radio club function and expect to be warmly received...
