Hi Holger!   
      
   14 Feb 2016 08:54, from Holger Granholm -> Richard Menedetter:   
      
    RM>> Could you be more specific?   
    RM>> If I am one of the average HAMs??   
    RM>> No, probably not.   
    HG> You're right.   
      
    HG> The average ham communicates via radio waves, either to talk with his   
    HG> friends, testing his gear or competing in some contests, not chatting   
    HG> in the Internet.   
      
   So then I am an average HAM.   
   Wheew thank you for confirming ...   
      
   I use mainly FM analog, DMR digital and SW.   
   Last SW SSB contest I participated is already 4 months ago ...   
      
    HG> Those Internet chats can be done without a ham license.   
      
   What makes you think that I am "chatting on the Internet"?   
   Feel free to quote me on where I wrote something that hints in that direction.   
      
   The ONLY thing I wanted to express is that I do NOT agree with the viewpoint   
   that only shortwave is HAM, everything else not.   
      
   If somebody uses his DMR mobile to talk to somebody who is also using a DMR   
   mobile, this falls FOR ME into the broad range of the HAM hobby.   
   Even if there is an IP link in between the two parties.   
   I still stand by that definition. (Both parties use radio waves ...)
