Yes, and if my only interest in ham radio is what Bob describes, I sure
have been bored in the last fifty years!!

I wonder how much that type of an operator is contributing to the success 
of AMSAT in either dollars or time?  He's sure wasting his time and/or money!

But I suppose it does sell a lot of HT's......
