OT:. "High end operator"

[Ken G Kopp]

Someone please define "high end operator".

Sounds like some form of snobbism worming it's way into the slang of the
hobby .... (;-)

I think it means the "high-end" of the band, such as the upper channels,
38, 39 & 40.

Chas,
You are pretty close;  since amateurs don't use "channels",  high end operators are normally General Class (and  Extra Class)  who operate at the high end of the HF amateur bands (for example, on 20M SSB,  14,300 and up).
Another possible definition might be an individual who uses Elecraft equipment (as compared to a Heathkit HW 101).

Well, I'd start by defining it as someone who follows the rules ... such
as not repeatedly posting off topic stuff when they know full well it is
against the rules they agreed to.

Maybe the operative word is "High"... on what? <<double smirk>>

I figure I am on the high end when operating on 10,368.100 MHz <more smirking>

All above said in good humor

Obviously “High End Operator” refers to the equipment the operator uses.  That is,
only High-end equipment such as the Elecraft K-line.

Apparently the Elecraft K-line need not apply.  
Here was the original message using the term:

"Exactly. This is why the K3S and any conventional radio that comes after it
is a Bad Decision for high-end operators. SO2R with one box, skimming
everything, using only IP control. Remind me again why I just spent about
$6,000 on an outdated design?

Peter Dougherty, W2IRT"

 From a FLEX user, I believe.
