“ To begin with, who made possible the wonderful advance of radio? Not the person who sits back and listens to some "opera star" or a "band", but the real radio amateur, who has experimented for years until he has perfected his apparatus. ”

“ You also say that amateurs should confine their activities to the open period. Most of the licensed amateurs work and have long hours that make it impossible for them to sit down any time during the day and transmit. When a fellow has to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning and go to bed at 10 o'clock at night in order to get up the next day, there is no reason at all why he should sit back and let the broadcast listeners hog the air. Since broadcasting started, the amateurs have gone half way in many cases with the broadcast listeners, but give some people an inch and they want a yard. ”

“ You remark that no one should be forced to listen to such "twaddle" as the amateurs send anybody with a sharp tuning receiver can separate the code and broadcasting as easily as they could pull their hands apart. It is only a matter of correctly building the receiving set. ”
