Hams are quite a friendly and welcoming community. They encourage everyone who has an interest in Amateur radio. While it is true that close relationships develop between members who perform many emergency and community service activities in clubs, it still remains that a road trip down any interstate highway on the east coast will be filled with great QSOs (conversations) with new acquaintances on the bands. I have driven many times from Georgia to Pennsylvania and had non-stop contacts. KF4UZS

@YouTubilify Everyone? Surely you jest. The Pollyanna principle (also called Pollyannaism or positive bias) is the tendency for people to agree with positive statements describing them.. Research indicates that, at the subconscious level, our minds have a tendency to focus on the optimistic while, at the conscious level, we have a tendency to focus on the negative. This subconscious bias towards the positive is often described as the Pollyanna principle.

@50suckers Look in the mirror

@royalbrainwave If everyone scans and nobody talks?

[ssmartvhf]

nice scenerey . I agree seems dead on those repeaters. I'd like to visit out that way . Any activity on UHF repeaters? Sometimes repeaters are linked to echolink and even if there is no local activity you can actually get people in other areas that come through. Some HTs have a band scan option where you can leave it scanning and document the active frequencies.

Like a dog with a bone Burt. Let it go.

It seems your posts on ham radio have gotten you some notoriety and you're going to milk it for all it's worth and continue to produce the same videos over and over.

If you don't like it return your licence. If you wish to make a contact and have a QSO at least wait for someone to return your call before moving to another repeater. Not all hams stand by the radio waiting just in case a call comes through. Tell them where your from and why ur calling

[KD0NVX]

Unfortunatly some repeaters are "dead". And the only thing you ever hear on them is nets.

[royalbrainwave]

Maybe you need to first scan for activity before you attempt to produce a contact. I could be wrong of course, but I figure if you shout into emptiness the chance of some one hearing you must be significantly less probable than when shouting in a filled auditorium.

Perhaps you don't see fat people is because by the time they get to the top they aren't fat anymore.

K1OYK I hear you loud and clear...maybe it's the Youtube instead of the HAM.

Trust me, there are black people all the time. Maybe your mountains just aren't that exciting.

Fine business! It's beautiful up there!
