The hundreds of thousands of amateur radio ops work DX, engage in
radiosport, check into nets or engage in public service communications
without touching a PLMRS transceiver.

Wow! Really?!?

No hams work in a business that has a Public Land Mobile Radio
Services radio? No hams work on railroads or in heavy trucking or
vehicle road service trucks? No hams in construction of large
buildings or engaged in HVAC or plumbing maintenance of same?
No hams are policemen or firemen or paramedics? No hams are in
the broadcast industry using remote links controlled through PLMRS
comms?

Oh, I see your confusion. You thought I meant *other than on the ham
bands*!

Who knows what lurks in your four neurons, snarly dave?

[da shadow do?]


They are all on HF engaging in "radiosport" and net checking to
advance the state of the art of radio and morsemanship?

Did I write "all" or did you just gather it from the ether?

No, nitrous oxide.

I have to take an anaesthetic when I go in here to read all this "expert
radio nowledge stuf." One needs to dull the senses down to the
extra level...

Now all that "radiosport" and "net checking" is fun and recreational
and enjoyed by many but it is hardly any sort of technical
advancement or honing skills useful in case of national need.

How do you know much about it--by having someone you know tell you of
it? By reading about it on the web? By browsing through the pages of
QST at your local library? Were you under the impression that hams are
mandated to participate in technical advancement? Are there no
operational skills needed by the nation?

Why are you asking?

You are an Extra. You know Everything because you are Qualified
by a federal agency, complete with pretty little certificate (suitable
for framing)!



I know in which part of the spectrum 10 KHz is located.

Did you download that firmware fact from Ten-Tec too?


No radio amateur anywhere has done anything if you haven't known about it.

Awwww...now you are acting all peevish. Tsk, tsk, tsk.


Worship? You aren't even baptised as a licensed ham, Leonard.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, pope dave the furst become a religious sellout?

The Church doesn't issue ham licenses, snarly dave.

The FDA grades ham.

You have naught to do with amateur radio.

I haven't gotten around to tuning in the naught, snarly dave.

Nothing to listen to in the naught.

You're among the unwashed.

Untrue! I just downloaded an extra shower from Ten-Tec's very firm
ware download section. Was inexpensive economy model but was
complete with 100 gallons of hot water. Soap extra.

Took a long time to download. I would need DSL for the most
expensive model's download. Is that the firm ware download you
got, snarly dave? Come clean, now...



Several decades of declared interest in amateur radio + over seven years
of windy, condescending posts here + four years of inaction on your
"Extra right out of the box" = Leonard H. Anderson, potential radio
amateur :-)

Didn't you forget my claim that I was going to invent anti-gravity?

I'm still working on that one, but something's holding me down...






Now sit down in front of your orion, snarly dave. Amaze yourself.

We are all amazed at you. Of you. On you. Whatever...
