Acting on recommendations from APCO (Lennie can tell you who THEY
are...)
it was encouraged that the national emergency number be depicted as three
discreet numbers, ie: 9-1-1. Please refer to the logo on almost any
emergency
vehicle in the United States.
If it would be any easier for you, I can use 9.1.1., but there are no
periods on the phone either.
Steve, K4YZ
Why do you insist on inserting superfluous characters in the string?
So...the recommendation of one of this nation's most respected professional
communicators association is, in YOUR estimation, "superflous"...?!?!
Maybe that's why we "lovingly" call you "Brain"...as in lack of...
Probably the same reason why you insisted the FCC keep superfluous
requirements in amateur radio testing.
What's "superflous"...?!?!
If you mean Morse Code testing, neither you nor Lennie have shown me where
the Morse Code is "superflous" to Amateur Radio practice.
Do you enjoy being wrong so often?
So far, the only thing I've done "wrong" is to mention some parts of my
military servcie where it was not pertinent...My bad.
As far as Morse Code utilization in the Amateur Radio Service goes, I
wholeheartedly recommend that YOU take some time to cruise the narrowband parts
of the HF Amateur allocations.
Has this become a part-time job for you?
Doesn't pay much, does it?
You mean getting to rub your nose in your lies, Brain?
It's worth it just to see you fidgit and tap-dance around your own
silliness.

PS...For what I make in my "real" job, I can write this off as entertainment!
I ought to send you an IRS form 1099 this year.
