Poor baby. Still hurting because you never got an article accepted?

I'd have to have submitted one before it could be rejected, Leonard.
My stuff was published in Ham Radio Horizons and CQ.

...or couldn't understand the technical content in any of its 22 year
independent publishing existance?

I have almost all twenty-two years of independently published issues. I
have received any new ones for quite some time now.

Many of us
enjoy indulging in nostalgia over our radio equipment and our past in
amateur radio.

You should. Not much future left for you...

Here's a mirror, old top. I am a radio amateur and will be a radio
amateur. You've entered your eighth decade. You might want to
reconsider your statement in terms of statistical inevitability.

You'll have to actually pass some exams and obtain a
license before you can have a past in amateur radio.

...and herr robust needs to actually pass a psychiatrist's tests to
rejoin the human race and have civil social intercourse with us.

Us? The several of you dwelling within the tired body of Leonard H.
Anderson?

So far you haven't passed those tests. Poor baby.

So far, the unlicensed in medicine, unlicensed in amateur radio "Doctor
Len" is the only person who has seen a need for them. Poor baby.

Now, you sit right down in front of your raddio and have an oriongasm
thinking that those without ham licenses would never understand it.
That seems to sooth your snarly nature.

I'll sit in front of any of my radios and operate on any of the bands
and modes my license permits. You may do as you can.

Work some DX. But don't reveal that some of them are out-of-band
Frenchmen.

Why are you worried about whether Frenchmen are in or out of bands which
you can't access? French authorities (and Brian Burke) take care of
French ops. I'm only concerned with where I operate.
