8
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>sign up today and thank you for the support. Reasons

9
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>that someone might avoid amateur radio as a hobby. Now,

10
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 1>hear a lot of these in comments. I hear a

11
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of responses to social media posts I make. This

12
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.679
<v Speaker 1>one comes from Reddit. Someone else wrote it, and it

13
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of aligns with what I have been saying in

14
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 1>some regards. But I'd like to know what you guys

15
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>think about it. So let's read this article real quick.

16
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 1>One of the many reasons people avoid amateur radio as

17
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>a hobby. So I saw that title, and of course

18
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:01.759
<v Speaker 1>I had to take a look and read through this

19
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>because you know, that's that's a catchy title. It's a

20
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>catchy title, and it's not clickbait because he goes on

21
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 1>to explain several things about why he wrote that. So

22
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>this comes from commercial Underscore school five one seven, okay,

23
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>and Tldrup there at the top says, stupid amateur radio

24
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>operators chase away interested potential amateur radio operators. Now, I

25
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>have said before in many videos that I don't think

26
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 1>amateur radio is dying. It is changing, it is evolving.

27
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>It's not dying. As we have seen post hurricanes Heelena

28
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 1>and Milton just here recently. It's actually quite useful in many,

29
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>many situations. So it's not dying. But if anything, because

30
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>you hear sometimes oh DMR is killing Ham radio. FT

31
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.959
<v Speaker 1>eight's killing him radio, the Internet's killing him radio, all

32
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.719
<v Speaker 1>these kind of nonsense. If anything was to ever kill

33
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Ham radio, it would be us, you and I, those

34
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>of us licensed who have a bad attitude. And that's

35
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>what this article is about. So let's take a look.

36
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>So this is this is several pairs paragraphs here, and

37
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>he edits it at the bottom because he's he comes

38
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>back and he reads some comments and he adds that

39
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>edit down there at the bottom. But he says he

40
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.879
<v Speaker 1>was trained in radio repair in the army at age eighteen.

41
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>He studied to receive a minor and electrical engineering technology

42
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 1>in his late twenties, three decades of amateur radio under

43
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>my belt. I still have a lot to learn. Okay.

44
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:22.719
<v Speaker 1>I was not in the army and I'm not a

45
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't have an EE degree, but I do have

46
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>three decades of manager radio under my belt, and I

47
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>still have a lot to learn. Also, so I know

48
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.800
<v Speaker 1>where he's coming from here. In the ensuing decades, I've

49
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.599
<v Speaker 1>done both network engineering and security engineering, and am currently

50
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>a solutions architect. I'm well aware of the features, cost benefits,

51
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 1>technologies and how they've changed. He bought two radios at

52
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 1>the same time, the Radiotity GD eighty eight and the

53
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Vero VGCN seventy six, signed up for both Facebook groups. Okay,

54
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>and the first comment is the best write down here.

55
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:56.919
<v Speaker 1>He's like, Facebook groups, found your problem, and he's right,

56
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>this guy KC two syk. He's he's right, that's his

57
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.159
<v Speaker 1>problem is Facebook groups. But let's go on. I've had

58
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>problems with the software that controls the VGC in seventy six. Now,

59
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 1>this is a neat radio that I've seen a couple

60
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 1>other YouTubers do videos about. I don't have one of

61
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>those in my hand yet, but after reading what he

62
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>says about it, and seeing a couple of videos. I

63
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>should probably order one of these and do my own

64
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>video about it. He said he had problems with the

65
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>firmer on the GD eighty eight. The GD eighty eight

66
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I do have. The first one I got was really fubar.

67
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 1>I sent it back to Radiodity. They sent me another one,

68
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>and I haven't made a video with it yet because

69
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>he's right, the firmer's a little wonky on it, but

70
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 1>it's not a bad radio. I should probably circle back

71
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>through that one one of these days, he says. First,

72
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.479
<v Speaker 1>the VGC, when I saw demo what you can do

73
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 1>with it, I thought it would be a great tool

74
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>to have for aries use. It has a built in

75
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 1>twelve hundred bod TNC. You can Bluetooth connect to handheld

76
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 1>and use the TNC. This means I could use radio

77
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>mail on my iPad form wind link. That's one use case.

78
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.919
<v Speaker 1>The app just called HT in the app store. It's

79
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 1>the same the VGC in seventy five hundred has an

80
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 1>app in the app Store called just HT. It's a

81
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:04.639
<v Speaker 1>dumb name, but that's what they call it. And the

82
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.439
<v Speaker 1>app has built in the ability to handle SSTV that

83
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.599
<v Speaker 1>I did not know this would be useful for the

84
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:11.879
<v Speaker 1>disaster response because I could take a picture of my

85
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 1>phone immediately transmit it via SSTV. Hmm over VHF. Interesting Okay,

86
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 1>I found out I was sold a bill of goods.

87
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what he means by that. This app

88
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 1>I saw used? What? Oh, I remember what he means

89
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.160
<v Speaker 1>by that. Now? This app I saw used was using

90
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.959
<v Speaker 1>features that are only available in Android apps. I can't

91
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>expert configurations to a CSV or in the iOS app.

92
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 1>I can't send SSTV using the app, so maybe it's

93
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 1>Android only. Okay. The app has a hard time keeping

94
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the configuration straight, loses changes parts. I posted this in

95
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>the Facebook group the issues I was having and made

96
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>some recommendations of possible solutions. Then a helpful forum member

97
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.519
<v Speaker 1>entered the chat. He informed me that I needed to

98
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 1>not waste their time with my feature requests because he

99
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>knew more about feature complexity than I did, regardless of

100
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 1>it being my job. The guy he's talking about didn't

101
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:07.319
<v Speaker 1>know his job, probably, but there's no cause to be rude,

102
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>and that the manufacturer needed to handle the broken stuff.

103
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.720
<v Speaker 1>That's right. He didn't see nonfunctionality as broken because it

104
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't impact him. He knows what I need and he's

105
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.839
<v Speaker 1>not afraid to dictate it. I tried to reason with

106
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 1>the ignorant I know better, but I tried. I left

107
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>the forum after being shown the admin was of the

108
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>same mind. They were always right, regardless of the facts. Okay,

109
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.600
<v Speaker 1>and then he starts to talk about the GD eighty

110
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.759
<v Speaker 1>eight radio. So a couple of notes there. Number one,

111
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 1>I could talk about the difference between Android and iOS

112
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 1>and I think you guys know where If you've never

113
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>watched my channel before, maybe you don't know. I don't

114
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 1>like Apple. I don't like Apple products. They're limited. Android

115
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>gives you a lot more stuff. Now, we could talk

116
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>about that all day. A lot of you will probably

117
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 1>disagree with me, Okay, but it is Ask any app developer.

118
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>It is harder to get app updates, to get apps

119
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>added to the iOS story, and get app updates in

120
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.519
<v Speaker 1>the iOS store because of extra hoops that Apple makes

121
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 1>you jump through Android place to where Google place stoard

122
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 1>is not that difficult, so the Google app. When I

123
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:12.759
<v Speaker 1>first got my first VGC ht VG, I don't remember

124
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 1>as the ht or the mobile radio. My first VGC radio,

125
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 1>it did not have an iOS app at all. So

126
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.879
<v Speaker 1>I assume that the iOS version of the app today,

127
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 1>since it's in both places, is probably not as mature,

128
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>not as old, not as futuristic as the Android app,

129
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.759
<v Speaker 1>because the Android app has been around longer. Be that good, bad,

130
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Speaker 1>or ugly. I'm not saying. I'm just saying it's the fact,

131
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>So probably not now, Yes, it should. I mean the

132
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.720
<v Speaker 1>guy in the forum should have come in and said

133
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>he should have been nicer. He should have just been

134
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.759
<v Speaker 1>more welcoming and nicer and that kind of thing. Yeah,

135
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't agree with that type of attitude. But serious

136
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.920
<v Speaker 1>note on this. Part of the problem is that you're

137
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 1>on a Facebook group. I'm not even on any Facebook

138
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.319
<v Speaker 1>groups anymore because I got my account hacked and I

139
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.839
<v Speaker 1>never got it back, not yet anyway, and I have

140
00:06:57.920 --> 00:06:59.920
<v Speaker 1>another account now. But I haven't even joined any face

141
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 1>Book groups for hamd Radio because a lot of them

142
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 1>are like that, this is just a Facebook thing. Join

143

147
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>there that are helpful as well. A lot of the

148
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.759
<v Speaker 1>ham radio groups have moved to a discord server somewhere.

149
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.079

167
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.439
<v Speaker 1>about and this is a different Facebook group. He calls

168
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.959
<v Speaker 1>him a forum, but I assume he's talking about Facebook groups.

169
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>The GD eighty eight forum. I explained how the purchase

170
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.879
<v Speaker 1>of a how purchase of a single cable could make

171
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:32.000
<v Speaker 1>it so you can use the GD eighty eight to

172
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.399
<v Speaker 1>do SSTV regardless of being Android or iOS user. I

173
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 1>explain how to use APRS app and the cable to

174
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>overcome the GPS issue that the most recent firmware update broke,

175
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:45.799
<v Speaker 1>regardless of OS. Okay, cool, I'd like to know that myself.

176
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>How are you using the cable to overcome that? Email

177
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.360
<v Speaker 1>meet case five hwbtgmail dot com. I explained how win

178
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:53.759
<v Speaker 1>link and the OS appropriate app worked with the cable

179
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:55.919
<v Speaker 1>on the GD eighty eight, and that if the creators

180
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.480
<v Speaker 1>of whin link added to virtual T and C. I

181
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:00.799
<v Speaker 1>think he's saying that it would work if when Link

182
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 1>would add virtual TNC. I don't know if when Link

183
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 1>would add GD eighty eight to their software. Maybe I'm

184
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm not. I don't understand that statement. The same person

185
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>from the previous form that I unsubscribed from helpfully told

186
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.840
<v Speaker 1>me to get rid of that piece of junk GD

187
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.480
<v Speaker 1>eighty eight and get the b tech version of the VGC. Arrogant,

188
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.879
<v Speaker 1>self centered I have all the answers without even knowing

189
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.200
<v Speaker 1>the use case. Stupid people, simple as definition, people that

190
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:27.559
<v Speaker 1>do things that benefit neither themselves nor other people, are

191
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.559
<v Speaker 1>imposing on other amateurs and protector amateurs so much. The

192
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:34.559
<v Speaker 1>best way to avoid these helpful individuals is to not

193
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:38.559
<v Speaker 1>be associated with this hobby. Go buy an Xbox instead.

194
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:40.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't agree with that statement. I don't agree. I

195
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.720
<v Speaker 1>would agree with most everything this user saying. I don't

196
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.559
<v Speaker 1>agree with that statement. The best way to avoid these

197
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.159
<v Speaker 1>helpful individuals is not be associated with the hobby. Do

198
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:54.720
<v Speaker 1>not let some jackwagon. Do not let some Facebook admin. Okay,

199
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 1>on Facebook, the literally the worst social media platform in existence.

200
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Do not let Facebook admin jackwagon take away your ability,

201
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.639
<v Speaker 1>or your right, or your freedom to do it, or

202
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.159
<v Speaker 1>your enjoyment of amateur radio. Don't let them win in

203
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.480
<v Speaker 1>that regard. That's what I would say to that. And

204
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:15.919
<v Speaker 1>he comes back here and he said his edit. He goes,

205
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>I really appreciate the comments of concern for me. Thanks.

206
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to point out, get ready, for the first

207
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 1>time you'll have heard this on Reddit, it's not about me. Okay,

208
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:27.720
<v Speaker 1>this story really isn't about me. I'm trying to explain

209
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:29.960
<v Speaker 1>that I'm concerned for newly licensed hands or people just

210
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>entering the hobby, They're going to get chased away. And

211
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.159
<v Speaker 1>he's not wrong. He is not wrong. I'd rather they weren't.

212
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping that if I keep posting these things, maybe

213
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:40.720
<v Speaker 1>some people will go to these Facebook groups, find my

214
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:43.120
<v Speaker 1>post and ad comments not to insulting one. Hey, I

215
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.960
<v Speaker 1>heard about this, came in, looked it up firsthand, and

216
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.559
<v Speaker 1>see what happened. If I'm right, then the others involved

217
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>may get enough constructive feedback to change. They'll reduce attrition.

218
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:55.879
<v Speaker 1>If I'm wrong, you'll see firsthand. Well, first of all,

219
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:57.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't think. I don't think you're gonna do it

220
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.559
<v Speaker 1>that way, because there is such a thing as QRZ

221
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:04.039
<v Speaker 1>forum and qrzed forums are worse than Facebook. I'm it

222
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>has been my experience. But join us on discord. Like

223
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:08.879
<v Speaker 1>I said a minute ago. So yeah, so the comments

224
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>here Facebook group found the problem. Facebook is the worst.

225
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.399
<v Speaker 1>That is probably true. There's nothing less social than social media,

226
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:17.159
<v Speaker 1>that's true. Like that, This is good comment here, a

227
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.519
<v Speaker 1>comment here. The usual advice for this hobby is spend

228
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.399
<v Speaker 1>the doll and move on. It's usually the best course

229
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.519
<v Speaker 1>of action. People like that, get off on being the

230
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.159
<v Speaker 1>biggest know it all in the room and actively seek

231
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.639
<v Speaker 1>out people they can belittle, don't give them the attention

232
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.080
<v Speaker 1>they want, and just go elsewhere. It's unfortunately the same person.

233
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>What's on both forums. There are lots of other places

234
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:36.759
<v Speaker 1>you can go. I mean you're here, for example, Yeah,

235
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you're on Reddit. Okay, cool. The unfortunate truth is that

236
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>these types of people are more often found in these

237
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.759
<v Speaker 1>types of hobbies. It's not just radio block them, ignore them,

238
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>go somewhere else, don't engage them. Once you realize that

239
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 1>you're who you're dealing with. I hope you get your

240
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:51.240
<v Speaker 1>issues sorted out. Software is the biggest spot in the

241
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>amateur radio these days. You're not alone bubble. So there's

242
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.679
<v Speaker 1>some other good there's some other good comments in here,

243
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:58.879
<v Speaker 1>quite a few, actually quite a few comments on this,

244
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:01.639
<v Speaker 1>because that's a it's just to catch you title. It's

245
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.759
<v Speaker 1>just to catch you title talking about how we we

246
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.679
<v Speaker 1>the group of us, you and I the group of

247
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:12.159
<v Speaker 1>us as hammer radio operators. We get to determine how

248
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:18.639
<v Speaker 1>welcomed newcomers feel in the hobby, whether they just discovered

249
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.000
<v Speaker 1>what amateur ready is and they start reading forum posts

250
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Reddit articles, or they're watching this video right here. We

251
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.559
<v Speaker 1>get to determine that. Okay, And let me just tell

252
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.919
<v Speaker 1>you something, and I've said this before too, I feel

253
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:34.120
<v Speaker 1>like people who act like that are all on the internet.

254
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:36.559
<v Speaker 1>They're not on the air. You're not going to meet

255
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.000
<v Speaker 1>people like that on the air. You actually can meet

256
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:40.879
<v Speaker 1>people like that on the air if you know where

257
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:42.639
<v Speaker 1>to look and you just avoid those two or three

258
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>or four different frequencies, and then ninety nine point nine

259
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>percent of the time you will not meet people like

260
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.480
<v Speaker 1>that on the air, not on repeaters, not on HF,

261
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>not over the air, not over simplex nowhere. Okay, these

262
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.399
<v Speaker 1>guys hang out on the internet and they troll people.

263
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:56.919
<v Speaker 1>And if you're an admin of a Facebook group, you

264
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.639
<v Speaker 1>probably Yeah. I've been the admin of a Facebook group

265
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:01.600
<v Speaker 1>before I lost all my Facebook groups when I lost

266
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.039
<v Speaker 1>my Facebook account. I don't miss them, okay. In fact,

267
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>my Ham Radio two point zero Facebook group I for

268
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the last year and a half that I had it,

269
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:14.039
<v Speaker 1>I was telling people, we're in discord, Join us in discord,

270
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:15.960
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't post here anymore, Join us in discord,

271
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Join us in discord. So Ham Radio two dot com,

272
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:20.440

273
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.399
<v Speaker 1>now or read it. Reddit can be good too. There's

274
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:26.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of helpful people on Reddit. But Reddit still

275
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.159
<v Speaker 1>social media kind of well, it's still a website. Have

276
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:31.120
<v Speaker 1>you ever been treated that? If you're watching this video,

277
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>have you ever been treated this way? Have you ever?

278
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Can you name a story or an example of where

279
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:42.200
<v Speaker 1>someone else, you saw someone else do that behave this

280
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:45.799
<v Speaker 1>way perhaps to you, perhaps to someone new better yet,

281
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:49.159
<v Speaker 1>share with me a story where someone was looking for

282
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:52.840
<v Speaker 1>help and actually got it on the internet, because that

283
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:55.720
<v Speaker 1>happens too. That happens too. Share with me your good

284
00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:58.440
<v Speaker 1>and bad stories in the comments section below. Thanks for
