The more you learn….

Of all of the things that I’ve learned about Amateur Radio in the past 11 years, the most important thing I’ve learned is, you cannot control the actions of others. To expand on that a little, each operator will operate a little differently. Different from other operators and different from you. What you *think* is the RIGHT way to do something, doesn’t necessarily translate to other operator’s methods. Don’t allow yourself to get frustrated over someone else’s actions. They do things THEIR WAY, as long as you’re within the guidelines (laws) for amateur radio use, you can do things YOUR WAY. It is not your place to police the rest of the world or any individual operator. Doing so is futile and can be extremely frustrating. See that big knob on your radio, use it to get away from the person irritating you. While it may be an inconvenience, while it may be frustrating to listen to an operator that you think is doing things wrong, it’s not your problem. Let it go.
