That's what get's his goat. The really sad thing is that Lennie COULD
be in that same boat...but just hasn't got the guts to be anything other than
what he is now...bitter and angry.
What makes you think Len is bitter or angry? I don't see that at all.
Hard to say, Jim. I don't think posts such as his come from a sense of
being in harmony with the world, tho'!
Len wants to change amateur radio's regs. Len isn't a ham but has
proclaimed a decades long interest in amateur radio. Len has posted
here for years yet he hasn't done anything about actually obtaining an
amateur license. Len says he doesn't want an amateur license.
He takes swipes at the ARRL, hams who would like to see morse continue,
hams who use morse and hams who prefer morse to other modes. He
ridicules the traditions of amateur radio. He belittles the activities
of hams who participate in emergency communications and traffic
handling.
I think he keeps the Morse code debate going in here. All the PCTA's I
know in this group certainly WANT the test to continue, and they usually
have a strong opinion about what Morse means. But if it goes, they plan
on going on. Wonder what he'll do then?
And as for emergency comms, I was listening to the hurricane net while
Ivan was going through Grenada. The net control was dealing with a
person on a boat that lost it's engine, and was being tossed around. A
lot of information was being passed around, from info about how the
storm was abating, to some general help info - since the net op had some
boating in hurricane experience, to general Moral support. A whole lot
of things came together to help the people on that boat. I suspect they
might have a little better opinion of Ham radio than our antagonist. And
this is just one thing that will never get mentioned anywhere outside of
this forum, no doubt. How many other little dramas go on in emergencies
involving Ham radio?
