My wife studied one day and took her test and passed it the next day. I feel that more women should be in the hobby and a lot are great communicators.

             I fell your pain, and know what your going through with your club locally. I am not bashing all clubs because there are a few good ones out there that believe in the hobby.
             One local club here has a big problem with in it that for over ten years has hurt the hobby so bad here that no participation in events and Skywarn has been non existent has been the normal. This is a sad thing to hear from any ham both new and old but this is happening all over the USA at an alarming rate and has to be stopped by those good hams that are left in the hobby or we will not have an hobby at all to enjoy.
            The club president of the one local club has told me that he has no heart left for the hobby, has hatred issues towards those who do not follow him and do what he says to fill his agendas and his egotistical ways.
            All i can say is make your voice known and keep on making it known until your voice is known by others and keep on using your radio
as professionally as you can and never stoop to their level at all times and anyway possible.
           Good luck and hope it gets all better for you!!!!!!!!!
