Robert asks you a question about Amateurs operating on military
frequencies for military purposes and YOU respond with some assinine
statement
about "most municipal radio operators" wearing police uniforms.
So?
"So?", indeed.
That in ITSELF is completely foolish since police departments are
only
a
fractional part of most municipal payrolls. There's the Fire
Department,
EMS,
Department of Sanitation, the utilities departments, roads and highways,
etc...all of whom hav SOME sort of radio service that they use.
Does it make them Policemen? Does it make them MARS Ops?
Does it make any difference to you that youw ere AGAIN shown to have
been
wrong?
Does it make any difference to you that it's an easy thing to do?
Does it make them Policemen? Does it make them MARS Ops?
"Sorry Hans, Dispatcher IS MARS."
Hi hi!
"Hi hi" indeed, Brain.
I am sure you hear quite a bit of laughter.
Remember, Brain, YOU are the one who set the "precedent" that if
there
is
even ONE example to the contrary, you have been proven WRONG.
I kindly direct you to the word, "most" in my response.
I see that.
That's what's wrong, PuppetBoy.
No. It is not. It is not all inclusive, such as your use of the word
"IS."
OK, Brain.
If you insist.
The police department does NOT constitute the "most" of any municipal
pool
of employees. Even in the smallest towns that I have lived in the police
force
represented, at the MOST, 1/4th of the municipal payroll.
Oh, I see what you're desperately trying to do.
You're including all of the non-radio users in your computation in an
attempt to find a leg to stand on.
Grasping, grasping; and still sliding downward.
Brain....YOU said that "most" MUNICIPAL radio operators wore police
uniforms.
It's not me doing the grasping.
Now...Try again, PuppetBoy. Your mentor is watching.
YOU said that MOST "municipal radio operators (wore) police uniforms".
That is wrong. Even in YOUR community.
No, it isn't. We're kind of heavy on LE here.
Yes, It it.
But I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to know your community is "kind
of heavy on LE"...considering who lives there.
Would you say that "most" means, "is" or "equal to?"
Now...HOW did you go from discussing operating on military
frequencies
to
"municipal radio operators"...?!?!
How did you go from MARS to Amateur Radio?
MARS is dependent upon Amateur Radio. No Amatuer Radio = No MARS.
Sure they are. They use up all them amateur frequencies and rely upon
Riley for enforcement. Subject to Part 97. Hi hi!
"Sorry Hans, MARS IS Amateur Radio."
Brian..TRY and get ONE thing right today, OK...?!?!
