When I pointed out that Morse Code exams have always been a
disincentive to amateur radio, he clammed up and won't respond.
I don't respond to most of your posts because they're not worth my
time to read.
You could have responded immediately to my direct post to your
statement about the CW exam being a disincentive.
You could have quoted me accurately, but you didn't.
Then you could have corrected it a long, long time ago.
He has. On several occassions. You and Lennie have simple tried to
"dismiss" him with your "TAKARJ" drivvel.
I'm not Steve. Despite your calling me names and characterizing me as
his "pea-pod brother", I'm not him. Not even close.
So you really do read all of my posts, or at least make an effort.
Or he read mine wherein a quote of your comment was made.
And I might point out that having read this one thing does NOT make his
reading of your posts "all-inclusive".
Fact is, many WW1 and WW2-era radio operators were also amateurs. Many
were recruited specifically because they *were* radio amateurs. This
is well documented fact.
Silencing of the transmitters is also a well documented fact.
Sealing of the receivers was too. Your point?
btw - ever hear of WERS?
Is this the reciprocol of Steve's Law, where
"Sorry Hans, Amateur Radio IS MARS."
You don't know what WERS was, then.
The article didn't say anything about -amateur- transmissions being
allowed. There were also community civil defense type radio
transmissions authorized, and amateurs were often the operators of
such community stations, but not in an amateur capacity.
No...just as supervisors, watch standers, traffic handlers, technicians
and engineers.
That's all.
Then be succinct, and do clear up any misunderstandings right away.
Why? You don't do that.
Time is money?
In your case I'd say because the truth is embarrassing.
Steve, K4YZ
