No they don't but if they get together and say they wanted it removed from the DXCC mixed award
I would love to see the PSC's reaction to this "request." They'd be laughing themselves silly. A handful of old timers with their heads firmly buried up their antenna ports vs the thousands of new (and not-so-new) DXers having fun, earning—and paying for—their DXCC awards, putting some form of life on the bands, and so on.
At this point we're approaching "mud wrestling with a pig" territory. Let the Sad Hams howl at the moon and pound on their keyboards until their fingertips bleed. Me? I'd rather be working as much DX as I can during this awesome new solar cycle, or else spending time with my wife, cooking barbecue, going camping, and Jeeping. I don't have time for closed-minded, self-righteous, holier-than-thou CW-or-else types who drive people away from the hobby faster than a dozen ARRLs could attract them.
Story time: I've been going to radio club meetings since I first got on the air in 1979, and for the most part nothing's changed. Repeaters are still full of half-in-the-bag d---heads chasing off newbies (only with far fewer newbies to chase now), 40 and 80 phone are still full of GeezerNets™ whining about the state of the world and kvetching about their various health crises, and online forums are full of anti-this and anti-that.
Well, two years ago, when Covid was still bad, I joined my first Jeep club, since I'd just bought my first Jeep. We had a hard-and-fast rule that we'd meet in person, no matter what, and when I got there, it was like someone had thrown open the gloomy curtains that had covered the dusty windows for 40 years. The first words I said to my wife when I got back home was "Oh my god, they're
normal!"
There was no whining, old timers were respectful of newbies and I was roundly welcomed. We bring our families out to trail rides, we eat (a lot) together, go out for beers, and when someone needs help we all rush in. Rig break down on a trail? Guess what...every other member of the club, and for that matter, everybody in radio range, will drop what they're doing and come to that person's aid. No matter if they're in a $150,000 built Wrangler on a Red trail or a stock Grand Cherokee on a dirt road. Yes, we use radios. GMRS radios. We use it just as we do our air compressors, Maxtrax boards, winches and soft shackles. We don't sit there and obsess about whether Mike's Midland is better than Bob's Baofeng, or whether that repurposed ham antenna with a 1.7:1 SWR at 462 MHz is going to work better or not. We just turn it on and use it. In the two years I've been a member of the club I've done dozens of trail rides, each one as welcoming as the last. There are no crazies, except in a good way, and nobody howling at the moon that Toyotas are evil, etc. Broncos, on the other hand....
Like I said. Normal. We have tech days where we help each other with builds, where experienced welders and fabricators help out guys like me who barely know which end of the ratchet to hold. Remember when we had Elmers in our hobby who did that? I can't tell you the last time I was at a radio club meeting that was anything like this. THIS is where new hams are going to when the Sad Hams chase them away. This, or sailing clubs, golf associations, or whatever else, wherever they are made to feel welcome. We have one other ham in the club (he's not active), and a few who are kinda-sorta radio savvy. I broached the subject about maybe holding a Tech class and VE session and one guy said it best. He'd been a ham for a number of years and he just couldn't stand the negativity on the repeaters so he put his HT in a drawer and never turned it on again.
So sit there and try to purge the bands of impure hams. They'll be only happy to either turn off their radios forever or tell you to get stuffed and carry on their Honor Roll quests.
