I predict another QRZ Bitchfest this weekend.

I offered to help one of them add the WARC bands to his equipment; even ponied up the required crystals for free. His excuse for not doing so? "Well, that would be project #239..."

Seems to have enough time to bitch about contesting but no time to investigate alternatives.

Yep, no time for projects when you can bitch on the internet about a problem you have the full ability to resolve

These are the same people who say,"If you're hooking your computer up to your radio, get out of ham radio and go play on the internet"
It's called progress, chief. You can't just bang away at a morse key and think that's all ham radio is about, you tool!"

...., as decreed by She Whose Gender Must Not Be Mocked Questioned...

Fixed.

No, no need to "fix" that -- which taken out of context brings a whole new set of retching and wretches to mind...

How do you find the Zedder on a contest weekend??

Just listen for someone calling CQ Contest on 27.025 AM.

[WØTKX]

I've called CQ there for years, as a "radio check". Brings instant hate and howling carriers. Lulzy.

"...the handle here is Stinger, because I'm a little prick".

Attitude and self deprecation all at once. How the hell else are you gonna start a conversation in an atmosphere like CB radio?

[KC2KFC]

In other words... they kvetch.

Like a pack of vilde chayes
