Not in the mid- to late-1950s, senior. :-)

Exactly. When you were in Japan, there weren't even any Bear bombers in
service.

Okay, on the basis for one wrong statement, you mount an "air"
assault? :-)

Ditto the number of active hams hamming it up for WWII [exactly zero
(0)]. But that does not stop some from revering the contributions
that hams hamming it up made in WWII [exactly zero (0)].

I get a kick out of the "patriots" who never served in our military
making all kinds of big, important noises about "the war effort!"

Jimmie wants to support Katapult Kellie and his shooting bears
for naval intelligence...so he loves to pick on those who served
rather close to USSR territory.

Never mind that a major area headquarters had all kinds of radio
communications running 24/7 to the States and elsewhere or
that Joe had The Bomb or that the Cold War was anything but
cold in the fifties and sixties. Jimmie gotta drag out one of the
Jane's books and Lecture all about USSR aircraft instead. Like
Jimmie spent a lot of time on the flight line, of course. :-(

Then Jimmie is working up to a hissy-fit asking "who's Rev.
Jim?" After several Sermons on the Antenna Mount, he
doesn't know?!?

Heck, he may be doing a Gibson for a religious picture, drumming
up support?

[Hoot Gibson, not Mel...]

BTW, did you know that a Morse Exam acts as a disincentive to CW use
on HF?

I'd heard that. :-)

Along with manual telegraphy skills are the epitome of excellence,
the heart and soul of U.S. amateur radio and "morse code is fast."

And that MARS IS Amateur Radio?

Hi, hi.

These guys keep getting sillier and sillier.

Could be too much RF exposure? [or the UHF connector got
put into the wrong receptacle?}

All I bothered to mention was that the old military phonetic
alphabet ("able, baker, charlie") got replaced with the NATO
phonetic alphabet ("alpha, bravo, charlie") in 1955...my next
to the last year of active duty in the U.S. Army.

Jimmie wants to rehash old, old arguments in this newsgroup
rather than focus on the reality of now. I guess he figures that
repeating the old stuff over and over might allow him to "win"
one of the arguments...like watching re-runs of "Wheel of
Fortune" and hoping some contestant will guess diffeently and
win more...

Silly. Yeah.
