Literature? I'll concede that Leonard authored some articles for a
commericial venture in the form of an amateur radio magazine. That
didn't make him a radio amateur.
Let's be a bit more precise, Dave.
We can concede that Lennie's name appeared as having authored those
articles.
We have no evidence that it WAS his work.
His conduct in this forum as evidence leads me to believe that the
originality of the articles is dubious, at best. Conversations with people who
knew him tend to cement that opinion.
and he has commented on amateur matters to the FCC.
By your logic, comments to the Commission on broadcast station ownership
make one involved in broadcasting. Len's comments didn't make him a
radio amateur.
Lennie's "comments" are the same stuff over and over.
The military and maritime services don't use Morse anymore, so Amateurs
shouldn't either.
Not one bit of understanding about what he's commenting on. Still can't
separate the "AMATEUR RADIO SERVICE" from anything else. He left the Army
during the Eisenhower administration and with it his last "exposure" to ANY HF
radio operating...save for maybe CB...
And what "points" he can't make repeating that over and over he "makes" by
attacking the other writers...Of course when someone suggest HE'S less than
adequately informed on matters, he can't stop wailing about it for years...
There
are probably amateurs (the kind with a license) who have made fewer
contributions than has Len.
Is something one does for money a contribution? Is something which
results in a negative action a contribution? Is something which results
in no action a contribution?
Better yet...
Find me ONE article in any OTHER Amateur periodical that cites Lennie's
"work" as theoretical basework for some project.
How strange that you say he has no part.
Len has no amateur radio license. Len may not operate radio equipment
under Part 97 of the FCC regs. Len is not a regulator of amateur radio.
I don't find that strange at all. I find it fitting.
He could have been a contender.
Since he won't enter the race, he won't even be a runner up.
