FOC contest this weekend?

Well? I'll be calling cq on 20m looking for ragchew this weekend like I normally do.

 

Keep doing that and you'll go blind.

 

Seriously?? Be a good day to start Jamming? Openly voicing approval for breaking FCC rules and regulations in violation of licensing requirement?
This isn't 11 Meters. Typical memorize the answers to the exam, DEI mentality that has ruined this hobby. And on top of that, there are even a few likes to this post. Amazing.

 

Best laughs I’ve had all day.

 

While the name may seem a bit pretentious, when members of FOC actually live up to and embody these stated ideals I see nothing wrong and only good in the organization …

“FOC is an organisation that promotes first class operating rather than a body that recognises first class operators. It is an organised effort to demonstrate that which is good for all by example. FOC means a clean signal, willingness to QRS for the struggling beginner, a helping hand for the aspirant down the street, a feeling of oneness with all who would like to see the level of amateur radio rise. FOC is not an award, it is a goal. FOC was founded by Bob Webster, G5BW, and John Hunter, G2ZQ, in 1938. Today, there are members in over 50 countries.”


Like other ham radio organizations, I see no reason why they should not be allowed to enjoy their membership events.

I hasten to add that I am not a member of FOC, but I am working on my skills as a QLF operator in order to secure membership in the Second Class Operators Club. Being both left handed and left footed, I should have an advantage in SOC contests.
