   MK>Why does General and Extra Class license people think they are better then   
   MK>a Non Code Tech? Just becasue you have a xtra bands that you can work doesn'   
   MK>make you any better then anyone.  Just be glad that we are in Ham Radio.   
      
   Well in a sense they are Far Better in Technology Knowledge and   
   operating teniques.   
   Now of course thet does not give them the right tpo lok down their noses   
   at those not as expert as they are. BUT I have found  that those types   
   are i nthe miniority but unfortunatly have the biggest mouths.   
   just consider the source and ignore them. This General Class Licence   
   heartly welcomes you to the Ham Community and Enjoy the hobby no matter   
   what portion of Ham Radio it might be.   
      
   MK>This is Why I don't join in any clubs anymore.   
      
   I have about given up on the clubs at least as far as attending meetings   
   goes. Soem years back before i upgraded I had to sit throught the Clubs   
   Head VE diatribe about why No Code techs were not Real Hams.   
   But saddly there are those types in almost every Club.   
   the El Cajon California Ham Club in hte last year had to tolerate a very   
   nasty Fued that almost destroyed the club. In fact it split and a group   
   statrrted thgeir Own Lalkside California Ham colub. but enough hard   
   feelings were left behind that they drove off and caused the Presidnet   
   Elected by the Membership after the split to resign.
