The Point is! just what it says .Newsline is in big trouble, if they don't change the Format.

My focus is on Newsline. Yes free speech,remember the Voice of America? Radio Free Europe? there might have been some truth there. Some Amateur Radio News reporting mimics that of the Communist Newspaper Pravda. Tell them what we want them to know and report on what those Old,(well you know who)want to hear. Where can you find in Newsline reports anything about the new technology or the support of the young people? If you believe that times are good then I can understand why you think so. (Mike you are in trouble!) Anyway I cancelled no less than than (8) Amateur radio magazine subscriptions, and I am not the only one, tens of thousands of others have cancelled also. So what's yourrrrr point? As far as these times are concerned it's far to late for Amateur Radio Newsline, they will soon be out of business. Have you ever seen a leopard change his spots? Well-(Far*@$x) don,t change neither, they are either young or old ones. Today My Grandson asked me, Grandpa since I am a young (Far*@$x) and you are an Old (Far*@$x) then what's the difference? I replied, well son a young (Far*@$x) is subject to change and an old (Far*@$x) will never change, they just stay the same and hang around that's the difference. But unless you open some doors and windows and let the Old (Far*@$x) get out, they will just remain Old (Far*@$x). My Grandson says well then Grandpa is that why Amateur Radio can't change because (CW) is like an Old (Far*@$x)and (CW) has been hanging around to long? Yes son, be sure and open all the windows and air out all of the old (Far*@$x)because they have been hanging around to long. Newsline is like the homeless, they remind me of a homeless person I saw one day in the shopping center. The homeless person approached me with his hand open and in his hand he had some change, quarters, dimes, and nickles, the homeless person said to me Kind Sir i only have enough money to eat today and that he needed some more money to eat tomorrow. I gave him two bucks then as I turned to walk away I noticed in his shopping cart of junk a box with a heading that read, Amateur Radio for the next Century. That's a sign of the times. That encounter reminds me of Newsline, they are experts on begging. If the leadership at Newsline had the (Ba*@$) to change they might not have to do that. Newsline needs to report on articles about VHF, UHF, FM, Spread Spectrum, GMDSS, Cell Phone Communications, Computers, the Inter-net, and Amateur Radio. Newsline needs to shift it's focus towards the new technology and have something for the No-code Techs the young people and I don't mean the Young Ham of the year Award which was probably submitted by some special interest group. We don't need to save the Titanic anymore it's been over for almost (100)years. Let the spirit of the Radioman who sent that historic S.O.S message rest in peace. (To hell!!! with (CW) we need to get rid of that old code)and move on. So Long (CW) and sooner than you think (Amateur Radio Newsline) Farewell Amateur Radio. Seven Three LWLongbow P.S. My Grandson says what the heck!! does he need an (HT) or a big 50 lb (HF) Radio for when he has cell phone, pager, family Radio and Citizen Band Radio? Anyway my Grandson is into a great hobby, learning to fly Aircraft. Farewell to my Grandson.
