ARE U 4 REAL?
Noise toys r one of many things that give anal retentive ticket holders another reason to continue to rag on and on and on about how 11 meters is for assholes and the technically retarded. Since joining WWDX I have found many people who don't hold tickets to be far more knowledgable about antenna theory, tubes, chips, boards ect. ect. ect. It wouldn't surprise me if most licensed hams knowledge doesn't go past the push to talk button.let's face it these new compuerized transcivers don't make it that difficult, if you can push a button your in. Noise toys just give them fadder to look at cb'ers as a bunch of jerk off's. And we all know where mos hams got there love of communication equipment. I never could stand noise toys. I remember hearing my first Browning ping around 73. Although I thought the am audio was very nice on am, I couldn't get past the ping. I hated it and still do. Reverbs, beeps, ecco chambers, darts and loops of "funny" phone calls. If that makes you laugh your either under 7 or laugh at almost anything. If that kinda stuff makes you laugh, put the headphones on and kick back to a 1990 recording of the jerky boys. I would never push that garbage though my finals. I not writing this to insult anyone but think about it. Is this what Marconi had in mind. I'm only on the air for a few hours a week. When I find an interesting qsl going on I park myself on that channel and enjoy some good old qsl. I still fascinates me when I realize the miracle of radio waves. As soon as I hear a ping, beep or some lame toy of any kind, BUZZ KILL! Well that's just me.
