Total growth of 901 in that much time isn't healthy. Reducing the code
test
to
just 5 wpm did not result in sustained growth, and neither did reducing
the
written tests.

Of course not, all it did was give Lazy Ass people like Karl a FREE
UPGRADE

Karl who?

When and how did you get *your* Extra, Bruce? Was it in front of an
FCC examiner? 20 wpm code, send and receive? Did you take the old
written tests, too?

Or did you bypass all that and get it after April 15, 2000 - just like
the folks you call "lazy"?

Well, well, well! I think Jimmy Who found his backbone.

Maybe he'll stand up to Steve's abuses next, if he doesn't fear legal
action or "Dialing..."

All I can say is, "Bravo!"

Jim's had his "backbone" for quite a while.

As for Jim...He's quite independent.

Thanks, Steve, but this isn't the first time I've commented on 'ULX's
nonsense about "real hams" and such.

For example check out:

just to name a few.

He and I disagree on a great many
things and always manage to not have to resort to the type of conduct that you
and Lennie the Liar seem to find necessary.

Gentlemen can disagree without being disagreeable.

That would be, in particular, lying to each otehr or calling each otehr
names.

As for "abuses"...What abuses, Brain?

You lie, I call you a liar.

You dance to Lennie's stringpulling, I call you Puppetboy.

You act like you know it all when it's evident you know nothing, I
sarcastically call you "Brain". You cringe at that diminuitive, yet you seem
to relish doing it to others in spades.

Sucks to be you, Brain...You're just slightly more transparent than wax
paper, and about as useful.

If all that's true, why bother with it, Steve? AOL has wonderful
newsgroup filters. I only saw this because you responded.

Let's clarify a few things. We all know Mr. Burke isn't going to tell
us anything significant about his /T5 operation. It's just the
mechanism for
a shaggy dog story, to involve others without ever getting to the
point or answering a direct question. Check out:

for more info than you've been able to gather in the past few years.


None of this should be a surprise, of course. Some folks don't let
facts get in the way of a good rant:

You and I are long-time amateurs, who enjoy and use Morse Code, so of
course we're targets of everything certain folks can think up. Worse,
we're Extras with 1x2 calls, which makes it that much worse. We and
our code test are blamed for everything bad that happens in amateur
radio - and credited with nothing that's good.

This was all explained even before I was on rrap:

Note the date.

Why bother with folks who are so negative, when there's so many good,
fun things to do in ham radio?
