I admit I have not read 'the' letter-but I have bumped into the attitude-in
one form or another-many times. There is a simple reply: if you don't want
to work me at whatever my signal level is at your station, please don't.
I'm not rare-so you probably do not need my prefix; I'm not persistent to
the point of annoyance-so I doubt I'll bother you; I'm simply interested in
having fun with amateur radio using my own particular set of operating
parameters. They do not apply to you. Have your own kind of fun, using your
own set of parameters.
All I ask is: that you not be rude; that you not break the law; and that
you do not tell me what my parameters ought to be-or what's wrong with what
I think is fun. There's lots of frequencies, and lots of times to use
them-with room and times enough for all of us. Have your own fun... and if
mine does not appeal to you: fine. I will try and not stop on your toes,
and please do not step on mine.
