You know, I actually thought about cutting and pasting it into a text
file at one time when it was going on but then I decided it wasn't worth
it to do that anymore than it was worth it for me to keep arguing with
the ignorant misinformed people.
I just let it go and then I came over here and vented about it. Maybe
I shouldn't have done that. I don't know. I don't see any point in
rehashing it further. Let them keep their obsolete radios.

Does anyone have a copy of all or part of the exchange that appeared on
the WA5KUB chat screen? (Or is it even possible to copy this to a
file, to save it?) I checked in there to see if I could win a prize -
- even though I never win anything.

encountered upon mentioning I had recently purchased a Flex 5000A.
I was told I didn't have a "real ham radio". That using my Flex was
no better than being on CQ100 or a cell phone or the internet and
other such nonsense! Some of the folks there were downright childish
about it. I mean, I know that kind of idiocy is out there but being
confronted with it first hand was just unbelievable! Of course, there
were those that had some common sense there too but what amazed me
was that some of the critics were really very misinformed about what
SDR even was.
You guys know we are going to koll ham radio as we know it right?
:-) It was comical but it was really sad in a way too.
