Where has the Civility Gone?
A contributor asks, "Have we become the group of crotchety, cantankerous, old codgers that in our youth we vowed we'd never become? It is getting so if someone submits an article, it only takes two or three replies until the mudslinging begins. And may the heavens forbid you criticize someone's new $2K+ radio, why, if you do your parents must never have married and you have the IQ of a turnip. This of course pales in comparison to what goes on 75 and 20 meters, where the whole world can listen in as we enjoy our hobby. Where has the civility gone?"

Shack Showcase My Fathers Ham Shack, Circa 1978
My Fathers Ham Shack, Circa 1978 My father was very proud of his first ham shack: Icom 701 with matching power supply, RM-2 controller, National NCL-2000 amplifier, Shure 450 desk microphone, Telex model 43 TTY, and a Bird 43 wattmeter. The antenna outside was a 3 element, 3 band cubical quad.
