My comment was more of a knock towards the "Chicken Little - the sky is falling - doomsday" mentality that seems to be so prevalent these days.Larry W2LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511736425569962662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12559579.post-59369692389913761662008-01-04T11:11:00.000-05:002008-01-04T11:11:00.000-05:00Efforts of recent years to "dummy down" the ARS ha...Efforts of recent years to "dummy down" the ARS have succeeded; now the hobby has lost considerable respect in the eyes of prospective hams. I'm reminded of President Kennedy's words, "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept..." That was once the widespread mindset of hams everywhere. No longer. And that is sad. 73, Alan, W5EACAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12559579.post-6535179383161821612008-01-04T07:30:00.000-05:002008-01-04T07:30:00.000-05:00"Remember Y2K?
