As the the march of progress moves ever forward it is important that we, as a community, take the time and effort to maintain relevancy in this modern age. As such, I believe that it is time we reevaluated the name of our collective organization. Below you’ll find a poll with my proposed replacement for Summits on the Air. Other suggestions welcome!
Peaks don’t need no geeks!
I’ve never found a geek in amateur radio, just good intelligent wise people what have the ability and social graces to respond well to others and offer assistance where necessary.
Geeks? WHERE?
Maybe if you live in North America. Otherwise, not.
I have no desire to be identified as a “geek”.
Wikipedia: “The definition of geek has been used as slang with different connotations, including as an affectionate label. However, this doesn’t mean that the term is meaningless or has lost its meaning over time. It remains mostly a derogatory term used to label people unfairly and offensively. Not a friendly and affectionate compliment about somebody’s personality, but a hurtful insulting form of invalidation or emotional abuse.”
Day after day, alone on the hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he’s just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around
Well on the way, head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice
