I don't understand
why people have to get so competitive about radio.
Because, for some folks, it's fun to compete.
So, with today's trends in education to prohibit personal responsibility and to
shelter the youngsters from the negative aspects of competition, does that mean
we can look forward to a standstill in radio, since you stated:
All of the improvements in our
methods, rigs and antenna systems since then have been the direct results of
radio
competition of various kinds.
If they can't play competitive sports because their delicate personalities might
get injured, how can we expect them to enter a contest where they might not
win?
All of the improvements are direct result of competition? So none of them were
made simply to satisfy the creator, or give him/her what he/she wanted that was
not driven by competition?
There are most likely a small number of folks who go about life meeting or
exceding their own standards, and don't gague their happiness or suceess on the
basis of "beating" someone else.
