Hi Holger!

14 Feb 2016 08:54, from Holger Granholm -> Richard Menedetter:

 RM>> Could you be more specific?
 RM>> If I am one of the average HAMs??
 RM>> No, probably not.
 HG> You're right.

 HG> The average ham communicates via radio waves, either to talk with his
 HG> friends, testing his gear or competing in some contests, not chatting
 HG> in the Internet.

So then I am an average HAM.
Wheew thank you for confirming ...

I use mainly FM analog, DMR digital and SW.
Last SW SSB contest I participated is already 4 months ago ...

 HG> Those Internet chats can be done without a ham license.

What makes you think that I am "chatting on the Internet"?
Feel free to quote me on where I wrote something that hints in that direction.

The ONLY thing I wanted to express is that I do NOT agree with the viewpoint 
that only shortwave is HAM, everything else not.

If somebody uses his DMR mobile to talk to somebody who is also using a DMR 
mobile, this falls FOR ME into the broad range of the HAM hobby.
Even if there is an IP link in between the two parties.
I still stand by that definition. (Both parties use radio waves ...)

CU, Ricsi
