FCC Cancels W6WBJ License

[2WR3505]

time for a little maul of truth, W6WBJ is actually a good operator, lol.

the real jammers where the hamtifa clownworlder hippiecrites that wouldnt check in W6WBJ.

the case against W6WBJ was built on irrelevant and falsified info, taking into account today's pc extremism.

the still on going memorex jamming still going on 3908 and 3890 KHz are recordings of the real racists.

K6TXH, WA7BZI, KW6BUZ (superstation of warfa), and W6QI (Moody).

the real blight of ham radio is these four hippiecrites, never was W6WBJ.

WARFA and similar hypocritical groups are a cancer on ham radio and will be the death of it.

That sounds like Billy Boy talking. If not, then it's just a jammer's shill.

Nothing but old men with ham licenses is going to be the death of ham radio. When they pass on, it will be gone. Young people aren't interested in old technology.

I hear that often from people who do absolutely nothing to share the hobby with others, young or old. There's a Young Amateur Radio Club Discord server out there. My teen aged niece has a shiny new license and handheld radio. There are kids out there who are using SDRs, building wireless linked microcontrollers and so on who don't yet realize there is a bigger community of radio hobbyists out there. All they need is some outreach. Europe has YOTA  (https://www.ham-yota.com/)

I'd like to find a version of this chart that has the last four years of data but the growth is something like 12% on this one. Maybe Covid killed all the old hams and made the plot nose dive.

I'm not a Ham, but try to share my interest of shortwave with most folks I come in contact with.  The static either scares them off or peaks their interest and then I've got their attention.  I recently gave my Tecsun PL-660 to an Afghan Vet who was a translator and speaks multiple languages.  He was more than excited by the idea of listening to a portable radio to practice his skills and when I explained reception quality varies with time & season similar to tidal activity (he's a surfer) that was it.  Don't know if he'll get his ticket, but at least someone else digs it

That's exactly the way to do it. You don't have to convert the world, just introduce one person at a time. I got one friend started by showing him some HF beacons using the on line kiwi SDRs, He just let me know that he bought a small portable HF SDR and is bringing it on our next camping trip. Pretty cool!
