Hi Holger!

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

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 ...)
