You're sweating this too much. I would just have replied "Fuck you". Why would anyone lie about being a radio ham and why would anyone care if they did?

However, just to show solidarity, I'll go ahead and post a picture of me with my rig...

@Richy_T - You know, I put up with this shit because I'm new here and more like a guest, so I felt obliged to go along with their dumbass requests to prove that their stupid accusations were idiotic bullshit.

I find it odd how some people here claim to be overly cautious about not revealing anything about themselves (a.k.a. possible opsec sensitive info), but someone like Legendary member 'philipma1957' is not bothered at all by saying what state he lives in (or where he is looking for a house in another state), and the distance he lives from the water's edge during the recent storm that moved up the east coast. And he is unbothered by providing how to view his eBay page. Then there are some OG members here that pestered the hell out of me about stupid shit that revealed absolutely nothing meaningful. Fucking amazing!!!           

Welcome to Wall Observer... Remember it's your choice to be here, no one is forcing you to sell your soul!...

Enjoy you stay...
