I don't find that strange at all. I find it fitting.

Davie boy is NOT a regulator of amateur radio.

No, Davie boy is a long time actual participant. Lennie boy is neither
a regulator nor a participant. He is to amateur radio what a weed
whacker is to sky diving.

Davie boy is NOT keeping within bounds of the subject thread.

Lennie boy hasn't done that in the years I've read his extensive output.

Davie boy still puts on the ASS rental uniform and makes like
a bad imitation of Otto Preminger's character in "Stalag 17."

I've been promoted? To think, when you told me to shut up, I was only a
feldwebel.

Davie boy...I am fully qualified, by long experience and training
to "operate" radio equipment.

So you've told us on countless occasions. Of course, that would seem to
be a mode dependent statement.

I'm just not AUTHORIZED to emit
RF within U.S. amateur radio bands as a civilian.

That's funny, I thought I said that. I'll not that you are not in the
military so "as a civilian" would be the only way for you to emit RF in
the ham bands. Ah, but you can't do that.

You have self-established "definitions" which are incorrect outside
of amateurism.

"Amateurism"? What, pray tell, is that? The only definition I'm
concerned with, Lennie boy, is the one which prevents you from taking to
the air under Part 97 of the FCC regs.

To use your definitions in your own quaint way of
defining things, I couldn't even check out radios on a bench in a
clean room. :-)

....not transmitters with an antenna attached under Part 97, you
couldn't.
My "quaint way" says that you aren't a ham. It really is that simple.


You imply (incorrectly) that I could not, ever,
"operate" any radio in any HF place...which is not truth according
to U.S. radio regulations.

I implied no such thing, Lennie boy. I wrote quite precisely what I
meant to convey. I couldn't care less about where you operate HF as a
non-radio amateur which, after all, is what you are.

Amateur radio operators are NOT authorized to emit RF outside of
amateur radio bands...unless they have a valid commercial radio
operator's license.

Do you think that comes as a surprise to those of us who are radio
amateurs? Is it your feeling that we'd feel hurt by such a statement?

Some amateurs, like Davie boy, seem to think they are authorized
to emit all sorts of feces-surrogate remarks on the Internet. :-)

If you're the feces-surrogate, I'm authorized. :-) :-)

Tsk.

Double Tsk.
