Not a matter of guts, Len. I stay out of it because its all old and
gone circular. If you guys are enjoying yourselves - have at it! At
least you all are accomplishing something, eh? 8^)

No, Mike. You've gone over to the dark side of the force. You've kept
silent
on the insulting behavior of these U.S. radio amateur "extras" and then
tried to encourage turning this newsgroup into a private little Chat
Room.

Ahhhhhhhhh....so unless Mike takes a side, he's somehow
"approving" of one side's argument or the other...depending on who
makes the claim first.

Personally, I think he's a very sober realist who is able to see
both sides of the exchange w/o getting incolved in all the muck.

Tsk. Nursie pouring in all kinds of "muck" here.

Carefull, "muck" is a four-letter word. Don't get profane.

If you need private little Chat Rooms so bad, contact your ISP. They
can arrange for you and cronies to have one for your very own. Really!

I do keep reading them for your header quips though! 8^)

I don't make "header quips." The headers I cannot change; AOL does
not allow such hacking.

Folks in here don't even understand Taglines...a formerly venerable
custom of funny nonsense phrases and sentences that have nothing
(usually) to do with the message body.

This is a humorless place. What passes for humor among the PCTA
is a lot of hollow personal insults and self-righteous giggling and
harassment of those trying to argue SUBJECTS, not people.

Ans what passes for "humor" from the non-licensed,
non-participatory sidelines is antagonism, hatred, verbal filth,
mistruths and outright lies.

So...we can all take it that nursie is unsatisfied? :-)

And you wonder why so many are "anti" you, Lennie.

Does gravity count?

I'm still working on anti-gravity...but something is holding me down...

You just refuse to accept that you're a fould mouthed bigot that
manages to tick off everyone you talk to.

Tsk. Tick...tick...tick...tick...tick...

Was that everyone? No, just the old clock in the next room.

It's not about differing opinions. It's about YOU being a putz.
No one likes being treated rudely and you are the epitome of rude.

Just the "epitome?" Tsk.

Here I was going for the pinnacle, top-dog, primo, super-duper,
first-class. [and I have to travel in steerage with you...tsk]

Does that Nobel-equivalent amateur radio license test passing give
you "credentials" or "licensure" to be a political guru? I think
not.

I'm a citizen, and I vote. That's good enough for me.

Of which country? As an American I used to think other Americans
would respect free speech. NOT in amateur radio of the USA.

We respect free speech, Lennie.

...as long as "we" all voice the same opinion. :-)

How many personalities you have now, nursie? A dozen? Do they
all agree? :-)

We DON'T "respect" people who use it as a crutch to be mean and
crude.

Oil is crude. But "we" all need it to be refined into gasoline, etc.

Witness:

Check out Kernel Klink's comments:

Being smartmouthed is supposed to earn you respect?

Everyone is supposed to be "respectful" in here? Oh, my!

Anyone who is "interested" in
radio MUST get a ham license! Like an entire engineering career IN
radio-electronics is "NOT" showing an interest?!?!?

Just like Janet Jackson said..."What have you done for me
lately?"

? Poor nursie not getting enough lately? Always thinking of genitals?

That's not "respectful" is it?

Your "interest" in Amateur Radio is being antgonistic and foul.

Tsk. I thought it was to remove the fantasyland aspect of some
hamateurs who think they are God's gift to radio. :-)

It has nothing to do with furthering ANY aspect of the radio
service, technical, operational or educationally.

Tsk. And the rant goes on to the CQ beat...

Ergo..."NO INTEREST".

We can bank on that? :-)

Did Alan Greenspan authorize "no interest?"

Some poor, disadvantaged, non-electronics employed emotional
basket cases in here are jealous that I began in radio at the TOP of
HF communications.

A rear area Army radio station clerk was "the TOP"...?!?!

You were nothing more than a "radio mechanic", Lennie!

Tsk. Nursie wasn't there, doesn't know...but, he would be too
confused over the immensity of the HF communications station:
separate receiver and transmitter sites 20 miles apart, 43
HF transmitters with a minimum of 1 KW RF power output,
transmitter site antennas laid out over a square mile of land,
multichannel VHF, UHF, and microwave radio relay linking all
sites, the torn-tape TTY relay operations occupied one floor of
a converted warehouse with 220 TTY machines, 24/7 operation
to Seoul, Pusan, Okinawa, Manila, Saigon, Honolulu, Seattle,
Anchorage, San Francisco, all serving the Headquarters, Far
East Command. That station was only the third-largest in the
Army Command-Administrative Network.

I got assigned there as a microwave radio relay operator-
maintainer (my school MOS). The microwave equipment would
not be available for a year and a half to I was taught (a one-day
informal on-the-job "class") how to operate the transmitters and
did that...plus keeping the carrier and VHF-UHF radio relay
equipment operating. Eventually, after doing a good job, I got
promoted and became a team supervisor with SSgt stripes and
responsibility that goes with that. 1953 to 1956.

Poor babies. Nearly all of them didn't even
exist when I started.

And as of today you STILL haven't started in Amateur Radio, and
many of us have already been at THAT for over 30 years.

Tsk. I became a professional in radio-electronics in 1956. Been
in southern California aerospace industry ever since. IEEE member
and sole inventor of one radio patent (3,848,191).

So...you've never gotten beyond the amateur stage? Tsk.

They've got the brainwashing to insist that
morse code is still used in communications (it isn't outside of ham
radio) or that MARS IS amateur radio! [among several myths]

It doesn't matter WHERE Morse Code is used OUTSIDE of Amateur
Radio.

True...because it is NOT...except to a few third-world merchantmen
who haven't upgraded yet.

Aviation Radio Service doesn't use morse. Public Safety Radio Service
doesn't use morse. Broadcasting never did. Private Land Mobile Radio
Service doesn't use morse code. The U.S. military hasn't used morse
code for communications in over two decades. Maritime Radio Service
worldwide has abandoned morse code for international distress and
safety, switching over to GMDSS years ago.

Read this veeeeeeeeeeeeery s l o w l y, Lennie...

Why? Have you said anything "respectful" or important yet?

I don't think so.

This forum is about A M A T E U R R A D I O.

Then why all the shouting and hollering about Presidential Politics in
here? That has NOTHING to do with amateur radio. Zip. Nada.

Not 1950's era Army...Not PLMRS...Not NASA or anyone else. Not
maritime nor commercial broadcasting...Not CB...A M A T E U R R A D
I O....

Then you should discuss A M A T E U R R A D I O, not emergency
medical services, CAP, the USMC and your imaginary claims such
as "MARS IS amateur radio!" or the unspecified bragging of
"seven hostile actions" or the gunnery nurse getting his rocks off by
insulting those who don't agree with him...

Tell that to Coslo, Rev. Jim, DavidoftheForeignService, and the
Katapult King Kellie.

WE know Morse Code is not used except in very rare instances
outside of the Amateur service.

So very rare outside of amateur radio that ANY use is destined for
banner headlines in the morsemen news! :-)

Even so, morse code on-off keying mode is a distant SECOND place
use on HF amateur bands.

That's because the Amateur service
has completly different goals and applications.

Yes...and to you it is a surrogate for your failed military service,
a place for you to posture and preen and act like a self-righteous
ashole about how "good" you are. Ptui.

Those emotional basket cases, self-righteous to a fault, are trying
their best (which is also their worst) at insulting anyone who isn't
PCTA. They can't handle controversy, can't handle anything which
hasn't been spelled out for them by the ARRL. Tsk, tsk.

There's no controversy here, Lennie.

Yes there is, STEVIE da gunnery nurse.

Read the following carefully, it is transmitted in "slow English"
a la the VOA:

T H E C O N F L I C T I S O V E R T H E M O R S E
C O D E T E S T . R E P E A T : T H E * T E S T *

So much so that this newsgroup was CREATED to handle the
CONTROVERSY over that morse code TEST for amateur radio
licenses.

Morse Code continues to have valid aplications in the Amateur
Radio service.

N O T E N O U G H T O M A K E T H E C O D E T E S T
V A L I D.

I'm putting you down on the PCTA self-righteousness group...on
the basis of your subject postings. Have fun!

You're only doing that since Mike's treated you kindly and with
respect, and you just can't stand it.

Pish off, little man. Go play with all your Putzes you sign off with.

You let Mike Coslo answer for HIMSELF. He did. Show some
RESPECT for others.

I, on the otherhand, realize what a dedicated scumbag you are,
and treat you as such. You've gone out of yuor way to earn it...you
deserve it...enjoy it...

Putz.

Pish off, little man. Go play with your Putzes and then get some
mental therapy to attempt reducing your HATE and ANGER at
anyone daring to speak against your claimed magnificence...
