With the crossbreeding of amateur (ham) radio operators and pilots being
something on the order of 25%, this is only slightly OT.

Bull****. It's 100% off-topic in rec.aviation.hombuilt AND
rec.aviation.piloting. There's no "crossbreeding", and I guarantee you that
it's not true that 25% of all pilots are amateur radio operators. Even if
it were, that doesn't make your post on-topic here.

Not that you'd care, of course. You always do what you want, and call
anyone that doesn't like it an "asshole". But why would you bother lying
about the appropriateness of your actions?

Thanks for posting the information to this group, Jim. I earned my Private last
summer, finally wrapping it up after I graduated high school. I've always
wished I could decode the morse code identifiers manually, and getting a ham
license seems like a lot of fun, especially if I can do it before my instrument
training starts in a few months. A friend of the family already has lots of
equipment that I can use.

It's a shame that certain people are so upset at you offering this and can't do
anything but curse and swear like a drunken drill sear. My high school had a
lot of kids with that maturity level. Maybe some day they will finally grow up
a little!

Thanks,
Jess
