behind his opinions.
More transference. NURSIE doesn't pay much attention to his
emotional outbursts in here...says he "never said such a thing"
after he said it. Strange.
Of course; he lies. But since he's nuts he's not responsible for his
actions.
Because I do have convictions I receive a lot of flack from Yell DMC.
For instance, when Part 97 says you cannot take compensation for
amateur radio, then a repeater owner charges dues....
Dues can hardly be considered compensation. It is perfectly legitimate to
cover the costs of repeater setup, maintenance and operations by charging
such dues. That does not violate the no compensation rule.
Dee, it's just more evidence that Brain (a) doesn't understand that the
"dues" collected for the use of a repeater are for the use of the
machine....NOT for operating a radio.
The FCC has repeatedly stated that accepting funds to defray the cost of
the upkeep of a resource such as a repeater is absolutely legitimate.
Brain, like his mentor before him, convientiently dismiss or ignore FCC
rulings or regulations when it suits them.
For instance, when Part 97 specifies only a Morse Code exam can
satisfy element 1, and the VEC's administer Farnsworth exams....
Part 97 does not define how the exam is to be administered. It simply
requires a candidate to demonstrate a minimum level of proficiency but does
not define the testing method. By the way Farnsworth is Morse code.
There is no such thing as a "Farnsworth" exam.
