This used to be a fun hobby but it sucks now :(

Haven't even bothered to listen 2day (unfortunately, due 2 present circumstances, Sundays are the only day I can listen). This goes back years, but much more so over the last 3 or 4 years. Last Sunday just reinforced my feelings about lack of interest in what was once a really really enjoyable/fun hobby, but has become dominated by asshole ops, and most longtime listeners that were really dedicatd to the hobby don't bother posting anymore, mostly due to the fact that the asshole ops just do their their best to alienate longtime listeners/supporters of the hobby. And most of those that are left just really don't care about anything but seeing their names listed in loggings.

TCS Shortwave reception on April 5

Amazing reception of The Crystal Ship on 6875 last evening. Clear ID about 20 seconds in. Really good to hear poet back on the air again via the powerful Northern Relay Service! Much better than those Bunny/Mosby/Thumper/Krackhead/Beans stations ;)
