Nope, it's called "Kelli's happy with herself and doesn't need men on ham radio sites to approve of her." No offense. I really do hope you boys figure out how hypocritical your little pub is on this so-called Island of Misfits. And you can say or think "cake and eat it too" or whatever else you want but I've always been one to fight for the underdog -- that won't change. What you totally missed was that this wasn't all about me, especially knowing there are others you've excluded from your circle jerk.
Last night I had a great time rockin' my hot self, out with my best friends in the world. No arguing with idiots and no thoughts of the latest Zed drama you guys get all woody over every day. I've finally come to the realization that it's been knuckleheads on sites like that have contributed to my feeling bad about myself in the past. Well screw that shit, because I'm not at all what most people here think. I'm finally living life the way I've always wanted to and I really don't give a damn what anyone thinks about it. I look great, have a rockin' curvy body, I'm more freakin' intelligent than most of you and I don't need the approval or disapproval of a bunch of armchair critics on a ham radio site.
There's been a bit of a freeze on new Pub members for these very issues.
Corey was one of the last to be invited, IIRC.
FWIW, there has been very little activity there, till the recent banning that occurred.

Please don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is obviously me, But my attitude depends largely upon you.
Maybe it's me, but the repeater culture we have in this area isn't too bad - I wouldn't want to just be on FM, but usually there's enough activity on 6m, 2m and 70cm to be able to talk to somebody interesting.

I'm fine with FM only (Don't have a mult-mode VHF/UHF rig), but there's tons more than FM repeater. Simplex, Digi modes, etc etc.
Damn, I hate to see shit like this happen. Life is just too fu(king short.

When it comes to VHF/UHF, give me weak signal (SSB in particular), or give me death.
I turn on an HT just long enough to remind me why the thing stays off 95% of the time.

2/70 was always SSB for me, just the odd time on repeaters if i was in the van driving.
I'll pull the 23 element 70 and 11 element 2 meter Flexa beams from the mast this summer, the Diamond X 510 stays, as does the 5 element 6 meter beam.
99.9% i'm on H.F and 6 meters, i've been on 2/70 for 35+ years now, and my interests aren't just there anymore.
Did most of it there, satellite's, SSB long distance, Aurora, airplane bouncing, Sporadic E etc etc., homebrewing P.A's very low noise GaAs fet amps, transverters, etc.
Leaving the ham radio hobby? never, started as 12 year old kid experimenting with electronics ( tubes) and will do that till i can't do it anymore.

Thanks for the laughs, see you in a few weeks.
