Oh, my.I knew a little about propagationWe used to take the test, get our license and learn from thereWith the codeless license we feel down on Elmering”I need another antenna because the one I have doesn’t have enough SWR?”We couldn’t keep up because of the influx of new operatorsIt would be neat to be a hamFirst time renewal comes along their goneDon’t hide. ElmerThe folks that complain about the new guys. Came in the same way.This hobby is about Elmering Moaning about the good old days of amateur radioWe are having a hard time competing with Cell PhonesNothing wrong with studying to the test, if you don’t stop thereWe got rid of the code, what now?The people that said they would never use Morse code are all down on HF doing codeThank you Tyler amateur radio clubElmer, Elmer, ElmerThese guys are not LidsThey just need some Elmering
