1992 - Palomar Amateur Radio Club

APR'92
soon there w~ll be
another on the South
Sandwich Islands. Each
of these operations are
very costly; however,
they bring to the OX
com m u nit y a n
opportunity to work
rare OX and increase
one's total country
count. I know that if
you are not a OXer you
"could care less";
however, what is one
man's junk is another
man's treasure.
All of us have our
favorite amateur radio
activity, e.g. packet,
ragchewing on 75
meters, CW contests,
chasing OX, the list
goes on and on. Of
importance is the
realization that all of
us have the right to
enjoy our hobby to the
fullest without
stepping on the rights
of others. How do we
accomplish this? The
word is courtesy, the
"grease"
that
lubricates the wheels
of society. If one is
courteous in all that
one does, it is amazing
what a pleasant world
it can be.
Suppose you can't stand
swap nets (for whatever
reason). That's
perfectly OK; however,
your dislike of them
does not entitle you to
belittle those who
utilize them. Suppose
you don't like OXing
(again for whatever
reason). That's OK
too, but again your
dislike does not
entitle you to
interfere with those
who are uti I izing their DISCUSSED: proposed
right to make the OX constitution changes and
