You know, I’m a cautious kind of guy. I know that every activity is fraught with peril but little did I know that QRPers were nut jobs. Yes that’s the new diagnosis for being passionate about low power operating or better known as a QRP operators. Now the professions who treat psychiatric disorders have a new (un)treatable disorder on the books. Read this post by KE9V on his blog titled “Low Powered Nut Jobs.” Now I must get this news out to the Ottawa Valley QRP Society.
I had seen the post on the other Blog. Quite apropos to just about any special interest and gathering.

So true, and for this new affliction there's no known cure.
ReplyDeleteI thought his blog headline was most unfortunate, insulting, and inappropriate.
ReplyDeleteIf anything, QRPers are the least offensive of all and in my opinion the most courteous.
I am referring to on the air activity...what the hobby is supposed to be about.

Hey Dick, we ARE courteous and considerate - up here in the Great White North anyway. Thanks for reading my blog.
ReplyDeleteBob, I'll be picking up my YL at Trudeau airport in a few weeks. She had the good sense not to fly BA from France...not like me. Long drive from central NYS. A bientot.
ReplyDeleteI've flown some pretty scary airlines in my time. In 1990 CSA was using Tupolev 154s (yes, that one) - built like tanks or submarines - can't remember which. But the pilots there were military trained so we always made it to our destination. I lived next to a training flight center where MiGs did sortées every morning. Now those were noisy.
