They aren't "personal attacks" if they're true. So far you've not
done or
said anything to prove otherwise.

Steve, K4YZ

Now you've called me a coward and a liar. They are personal attacks
regardless of whether they're true or not, and they're not true.

Until proven otherwise, they are.

SO far you are both.

Hmmm?

I wonder what you would call a person who presumes guilt until proven
innocent? America fought a war to get rid of people who think that
way.

You're just not a nice person.

I guess you consider me "not a nice person" because I don't tolerate your
mistruths and flights of fantasy.

Oh well. You'll excuse me if I don't lose any sleep over what a liar and a
coward thinks of me.

Anyway, I know what I've done and that's enough for me.

I think you REALLy meant that what you THINK you've done is enough for
you.

I don't need
a certificate on the wall to document my operations in foreign lands,
and as far as documention goes, even the FCC no longer requires us to
keep a log book. So much for you wanting me to do this just for me.
Get real, its for you.

IF you operated from Somalia, you didn't do it legally.

IF you operted from Somalia, you still ahve yet to prove it.

IF you were telling the truth about it you could have at least provided
the callsigns of a few folks you chatted with. I remember the calls of some
folks I "worked" from 1981 from Okinawa. What's YOUR problem?

I don't have a problem. I've told you before that I'm good with what
I did, and don't need your approval. Never did, and never will.
Sucks, huh?

Your continued insistance that I provide documention to you just isn't
going to happen. You can get over it by getting over it.

It's no skin off my nose, Brain...I am not the one who made far-out claims
that even a (pardon the pun) rank amateur in DXing could have avoided.

Dave Heil is a rank amateur? I don't think so. But like you, even he
didn't know that a military commander can approve amateur operation in
a foreign country without a government until I pointed it out to him.
And you see a commander behind every butter bar. I guess that's how
marines are trained. You really shouldn't bring up such embarassing
accusations. You look a fool, and here you go dragging Dave into this
again.

BTW, Dave and I get along just fine as long as we don't communicate
with each other. You might try the same tactic, but then you wouldn't
have anyone to talk to. And do try to keep from sending to me
personal e-mails.

No Proof = Didn't happen.

So how 'bout them MARS regulations? Can you back up your statement,

" Sorry Hans, MARS IS "Amateur Radio". "

As long as the two are inter-dependent on each other, Brain, it's true.

True? Show that it's true. Post the regulation volume and paragraph
number. Unless there is no regulation that state's,

" Sorry Hans, MARS IS "Amateur Radio". "

without the "Sorry, Han's" part, of course.

As of today. it's true. No Amateur Radio = No MARS.

Amateur Radio-like conversations conducted by licensed Amateurs who happen
to be MARS members still, as I type this, occur on MARS allocations.

I listened to a Canadian amateur the other day. Sounded just like an
American. But I don't make the claim that "America = Canada," based
upon that observation, do I? That would be a stupid statement, and I
would be foolish for making it.

You are free to make such stupid statements, however. And I am free
to point out just how stupid they are and how foolish you are for
making them.

Don't like it? The fix is easy and easily within your control (and
you do like control, don't you?).

1. Stop saying stupid stuff.

2. If you goof and say something stupid anyway, and I point it out to
you, just acknowledge that it was a stupid thing to say.

Best of Luck.

For what?

Steve, K4YZ

For digging yourself out of yet another untenable position.

Best of Luck.

BTW, how was Dayton? Camping WX was lousy.
