It's "noblesse oblige" oriented, Brian. The "upper classes" and
royalty get to swear, vomit profanities, demean and denigrate the
lower classes because they all passed 20 WPM code tests.

Nope.

It's the standard YOU have tried to set, Scummy. YOU are the one
stating "we" (the Amateur community) don't respect
"professionals"...yet here you are spewing antgonisms, profanities and
boldface lies.

tsk, tsk, tsk, stebe...YOU don't respect professionals. :-)

I've never stated any "boldface lies." This web browser doesn't allow
selection of boldface type.

On contraire again, Lennie...I get to radiate more than adequate
"great power". I hardly ever use more than 200 watts on ANY band,
however, since it's not necessary to use it.

You have 40 KW RF output capability? :-)

How about 600 KW RF output?

tsk, tsk, tsk, stebe, look again at amateur radio band allocations
and allowed RF output power. you can't use it on "ANY" band.

Of course, unlike YOU, I have a station license that allows me to
establish a radio station wherein I can use it.

wow, stebe, impressville all the way! your vewwy own wadio
station!

So...if I go into K-Mart or Wal-Mart and plunk down $99 for a shrink-
wrapped CB transceiver "it's not my own radio?"

Okay, if I own a Cessna 182 and buy a Civil Airways VHF Comm
transceiver and install it, "I wouldn't own my own transceiver?"
Who would own it? FAA? USAF? An airlines corporation?

If I have an ocean-going sailboat and buy the "civilian" version of an
SBC-2020 and install it, "I wouldn't own my own radio?" Who would
own it? SBC? USN? USCG? A cruise line corporation?

If, as a private businessman, I buy several transceivers to put in my
delivery vehicles, "I wouldn't OWN them?" Who would own them?
A city department of communications? FCC? NTIA? DMV?

Suppose I buy a pair of FRS HTs. "I won't OWN them?" Who "owns"
them? The store I bought it from using a valid credit card?

Oh, yeah, the only "real radios" are ham radios where everyone
works DX on HF with CW.

Of course, any former E-5 or higher that thinks "asshole" is a
terribly profane word must be of the sissy pink coloring.

Blatant evidence that you are not in touch with the "new"
professional Armed Forces, Lennie. That kind of language, although
rampant in your day, can get a prefessional soldier busted or fined.

aha, stebe, so that's how you got your non-honorable discharge!

we might have known.

I haven't been to a military base since 2001. Must mean I am
"out of touch!"

Heard a couple cuss words from military personnel then. No MPs
or APs showed up to arrest the miscreants. Must be slackers in
the military JAGs, right?

Of course WE knew that, since all of your references to the Armed
Forces start off "Back in 1953 at ADA..."...

It's a gray area...

Nothing "gray" about it, Lennie. YOU keep trying to foist
yourself off as a professional, both as an author and as an engineer,
but YOUR conduct and YOUR language lend a different example.

No "foisting," pink one.

Got paid. That's the major distinction of the professional versus the
amateur.

IRS and Franchise Tax Board (of CA) both have my occupation down
as "electronics engineer" since the late 1960s. Several major
corporations' personnel departments have the same information.
The FBI has a dossier on me and has done a background check on
my work, family, and neighbors...no problems. Also DCAS (Defense
Contracts Administrative Service), CIA (!), NSA, DIA, IEEE, and AMA.

I am a published author in national monthly magazines...which can be
checked by examination of those issues. Real ink on real paper isn't
ephemeral like Internet newsgroup lying, pinkie.

If you want a real treat, hang around "Geek Boy Times" on the web.

That's in line with your claims, sweetums. [bet you don't even know
what it's about and are going to bluff like heck about it...:-) ]

Sucks to be you, I'd say...

In addition to the Shop-Vac we have two Hoovers for the rugs here
although one is really a floor cleaner and rug shampooer (but has a
vacuum capability).

I can also pull a slight vacuum in the workshop with one of two
Soldapults. Know what those are? :-)

Sold the little airbrush compressor hooked up in reverse to pull
bubbles out of castings. No "sucking" there.

I'll bet you never sucked up to any boss, right? :-)

Pinkies do that. Don't think pink.
