HR2.0 - KA6LMS HF Special Event | Interview with the Last Man Standing Team!

I don't know the owners of this page personally so I only know what I've read about QRZ's front page filtering process but my understanding is that it's the page owners that choose the front page features by hand. I think Jason has even said that he spoke with the owners of QRZ and they told him to keep posting to the forum category that he posts in and they select his posts when they think it will garner interest on the front page. Truth be told, this conversation we're having on the topic will likely encourage the page owners to continue to put Jason on the front page. Our comments on the thread count as engagement, regardless of whether the comments are positive or negative.

That being said, it appears that the Last Man Standing event is clearly favored. There are many posts on the front page about the various people involved in the farewell activation. Maybe that's why this one was hand picked for the front page.

 

That is true, he has stated this....and other PAYING members (not myself) have also said that they WON'T be paying into the Zed in the future....so it's a double edged sword......footfall = $$$.......but PAYING members leaving = LOSS of $$$

 

I don't know very much about the benefits of QRZ membership. Aside from the titles next to the names, why do people pay QRZ? If it's to support the extensive callsign database, forum and news, I would hope that people can scroll past front page articles they don't want to read and continue to support the site. The other features don't go away just because there's one poster they don't like, right?

 

That's the issue though....you scroll past one of his video's then low and behold there's another one and then another one and then....Ad infinitum .....it's more video than News. I don't like YT but i feel like it's being rammed down my throat when i come on here....YMMV

I never said i don't like the guy and i don't recall anyone else saying that they didn't like him.....it's as we keep saying over and over and over (it won't end) again and again, please, please pretty &*^%$£@ please just put the video's in the VIDEO section......i know they won't....so let them lose out on members dollars; their choice.

 

Hey Leah, KN6NWZ.
Congrats on getting your license!

 

I doubt anyone is jealous unless they are impressed by celebrity. Allen doesn't impress me because I understand there is no honor amongst thieves. He did turn in his compatriots for a lesser sentence which tells me this is a man that cannot be trusted as he would sell anyone out for his own skin. He is an entertainer after all. Just because he put a radio on set does not make him the savor of amateur radio.

I guess if your into that sort of thing its a big deal but I am not. I tend to prefer the people who push forward the state of the art, Instruct and lead the way. It fine you like this sort of thing but don't expect me to pay for it. If you want to pay for it subscribe and join patreon. That's the venue for this kind of drivel.

I know someone here at QRZ likes this stuff, one of the janitors makes a point of following me around about it. But again it just makes sure when my membership runs out I won't be renewing. Many others feel the same as you can see here.

I just wonder if Cardi B was holding a handheld while grinding with her partner a few nights ago if you all would be singing praises over it. I tend to think so.

 

Thank you so much!!

 

I wondered how long it would take...

 

Only if she was holding a Baofeng.....

 

I meant of Jason

 

One of the biggest shows of the last few years has been Stranger Things, Season 3 episode 1 was streamed almost 20 million times in just the first 3 days it was released! How many kids and young adults are watching last man standing, probably less than 1 percent (the show is not geared toward that demographic)but most of those watching Stranger Things are right in the age group we keep talking about trying to lure to Ham radio. Yet all I keep seeing is last man standing like it is the only show with ties to ham radio.

 

Thanks Jaime, good to see you here.

I get tired of explaining over and over again that I, and other posters to these forums, have zero control over what does and doesn't get posted to the front page of QRZ. It's been said so many times, I can't even count - so that means that people either don't understand how the front page works or they choose to ignore it. Either way, I do thank you and the other Mods for the work you do on these pages.

I think LMS is popular in the ham community because there is an actual base station that the crew invites operators to transmit from. I love Stranger Things, of course, amazing show but being able to operate from a TV set is a pretty cool experience. And John Amodeo does such a great job of outreach and putting together this last contest. It’s hard not to share his enthusiasm.
