Hello, all. With the wealth of info available on eham.net I'm beginning
to wonder for amateur radio purposes if it's still worth the time to
stay on unmoderated, spam-laden usenet newsgroups. Your time and
comment is appreciated. Sincerely, and 73s from N4GGO,

Treasures and prepared minds usually are in hard places.

Love read any post on this NG, spam is not a issue.

My 2 cents,

A decent news client and news provider and well-populated filter and
killfiles makes reading any newsgroup a much nicer experience.

eham sucks
they "moderate" like a communist regime
I was kicked off for trying to resurrect a 1970s model linear that was
made for ham radio but was popular among the CBers of the time. I guess
to be a ham, you must purchase equipment from one of the eham sponsors?

eham is only trolled with a bunch of old dumb hams who have to have their
great grand children or nurse maids turn the computer on for them each
morning so they can go on a destructive rage with everybody young and new
to radio.

HAHAHA Nice example!

Exactly why one should avoid eham!

The people who frequent there are simply too stupid to understand sarcasm
or anything complicated beyond what's on fox news. A disgrace to amateur
radio.
