This 'Ham Radio' (ugh!) AntiFAQ will be regularly published and it
will not be shouted or bullied down by the sneerers and jeerers.

It is important that those of a technical bent, who can tune up their
own radios without the help of a manual, who are familiar with a range
of technologies such as pre-WWII receivers to FT-707s and the like,
continue not to be misled by those who have failed to perform in these
areas and who yet persist that they seek to 'maintain standards'.

These are the people who let years elapse between passing the then RAE
and the morse test for HF access, and have no grasp of how to tune up
a standard valved PA despite being a significant topic of the
qualifying exam. Yet they persist in impelling others to do what they
themselves never did, under the false flag of 'maintaining standards'.

The AntiFAQ can easily be summed up in four lines:

"He reads good books, and quotes, but never learns
a language other than the scream of tantrum-turns.
One's straighter talk is drowned yet unsurpassed.
Tune-ups, Big-K, heat-bands, FAQs: B-classed."
