Len may not operate radio equipment
under Part 97 of the FCC regs.
Len may operate -amateur- radio equipment while you are the control
operator.
Like hell he will with me as the control op.
There's the amateur spirit.
Another good example of olde-tyme hamme thinking. :-)
I don't know about the "old time ham" part. I can assure you that it is
good thinking.
Might be a "spirit" that comes out of a bottle...
Actually, I've already done that "operator" thing with a fully-licensed,
all-papers-open-for-inspection-for-any-A.S.S.-offizier as the "control
op." :-)
Bully for you. That does not make you a radio amateur.
Poor Dave. He's run out of valid replies and has to use the "I've-
been-licensed-forty-one-years-and-you've-not!" ploy. As an amateur.
shrug
"I've been licensed for six months and you are not" would work just as
well.
Tsk. I was first licensed as a "first" radio operator 48 years ago...
actually 48 1/2 years to get into his uber-nit-pickyness. :-)
Three years before that I started in operating high-power HF
transmitters without any license whatsoever, without any Signal
School training on HF transmitters, without any training whatsoever
in or about morse code. :-)
Bully for you. I keyed my first government transmitter 36 years ago at
age 19, well ahead of your schedule. It didn't make me a radio amateur.
Of course I was *already* a radio amateur...
Tsk. It gets worse for Dave. I've actually operated transmitters as
a civilian without once having to show or log my "first" license.
Bully for you, though I don't see how it is bad, much less "worse" for
me.
That has nothing to do with obtaining an amateur radio license. If
you're just out to trot out your tired, old brag, might I suggest
alt.radio.commercial.look.what.I.can.do.
All
perfectly legal, too. No need for most Department of Defense
contractors. [DoD isn't ruled by FCC or any "Riley"]
Nope, nuthin' here about amateur radio.
Dave ought to take up nursie's veiled threats of "using his professional
license to call the authorities to 'pick me up.'" This time on emitting
RF without having a valid amateur radio license!
As far as I'm concerned, you're right where you belong already. Just
continue to pad around in your small but paid for, expensive home.
Occasionally, you can look out the window and see some of the other
inmates.
Or, he might take to veiled threats against my wife (like nursie did)
or sign his name "Dave and the Boys" at the end of a posting. :-)
There's no need, Leonard. Your wife already has her cross to bear.
Or, he could become an anonymousie lurking in the baseboards
of newsgroups, afraid of the daylight, jumping out to bite at grown-
ups. Nah. Davie das uber-oberst thinks too much of himself to do
that...
Yes, I do think too much of myself to do that.
I wonder what the Canadians think about all this "show-your-papers!"
demanding? :-)
To you, "Len Anderson is not a radio amateur" equates to a demand.
