Thank you to everyone in the ham community for all the hard work you guys have done to help teach others. That being said, as much as I love making new contacts, hit's hard to stay involved when the person who got you into ham radio, Goes around telling people you were stalking them. If anyone is interested in a Yaesu ft-817nd and a LDG z817 let me know. Both are in Like new condition and I have everything including the manuals for both.

What's the point? The only reason I got into this hobby was because of this person that I thought was a friend that decided when I wouldn't date them, it was Ok to bad mouth me to all of MY friends on FB. I just wish people would be honest with what they want from someone. Maybe I won't sell the radio equipment but to say I'm discouraged right now is an understatement. Still makes we wonder if they got that Icom 7000 or the new Yaesu 857D they where looking at.

At present. do you engage in this hobby on its own merit ? Or do you do it just for this one person ?Originally Posted by W9JAM
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
Don't sell, shelve.
Yeah, maybe the person who got you into ham radio is a less than scrupulous person, but the hobby is more than one person. It's like judging ham radio solely on Karol Madera's activities.
Recent personal experiences aside, I'd give the hobby a chance on it's own merit.
For instance, I'm an avid skier. I have dated some skiers that turned out to be drastic mistakes.
But I still love to ski, eh?

The guy who helped me get into ham radio not only turned on me, he was instrumental in destroying the club we belonged to as well. I decided fuck him—the hobby is still fun. You can do the same. I'll meet you on the air on the frequency of your choice* tomorrow night. Anyone else here up for an Island Net?
*40m or above, please. My antenna is useless below 7MHz.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
It might just be time for an Island net.
I noticed the OP has made it to general. Why give up something YOU worked for? Enjoy what you have and leave the 2 meter stuff behind.
The FAM is going out of town tomorrow night, so lets do it.

Still a little activity on 20 right now, and it's 12:00 AM here.
20 has been staying open well past sunset recently.
I don't get home till 9:30 PM MDT at the earliest.
