inability to arouse interest in collective amateur work among those

aims of 0011e9tive ham work, and who do not land aid in the fulfilment
of these aims. The absence of our advanced him and pefessionals in
the collective voTk have caused, for example, the failure of our
publication plans. Dvennow there are many capable hams standing
aloof of our collective work, excusing themselves by the lack or
available spare time for this astivity. Thema lindividuals isolate
themselves and form a class or advanced hawk " Discussing the
resU166 of collective stations work, the editorial statesl:that
