And I have been "lectured" by several ......shall we say, "newbies" who have usd the "OF" term and in no uncertain terms have pointed out to me that Echolink is the same thing as radio.<BR/><BR/>Rather than belabor the point; and be perceived as overbearing or provincial, I vented by blogging. So in the end, I wasn't being proactive: I was reacting to a negative stimulus.<BR/><BR/>73 de Larry W2LJLarry W2LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511736425569962662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12559579.post-1159110111872734502006-09-24T11:01:00.000-04:002006-09-24T11:01:00.000-04:00First of all, Jeff .....

All I'm saying is that radio is radio and Echolink is Echolink - they're not the same. Vanilla is vanilla and chocolate is chocolate - vanila is not chocolate.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, why do folks get so bent out by those of us who insist that Echlink is not radio? I'm not saying it doesn't have its place and I'm not saying that it's invalid. All I'm saying is that it's not radio. <BR/><BR/>Would you want DXCC or WAS or WAC that you got via sitting behind your computer and using Echolink? There's a world of difference between the two; and I can't understand why that's so hard to see.<BR/><BR/>73 de Larry W2LJLarry W2LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511736425569962662noreply@blogger.com
