More tsk. My choice of residence location is NOT primarily
motivated by any slavering desire to erect a radio station of
any kind.
Great. It looks like you've got your wish.
Ahhhhhh! But he CAN report to us on the VHF navaids from LAX! Oh joy!
Some people are into that...
After thinking about it, it makes sense....The ATIS and AWOS systems
repeat the same thing over and over and over...Kinda like Lennie's posts.
True!
I'm still waiting for Lennie to regale us with what RF devices our
lives
can't do without that he allegedly had a hand in creating.
Again, not the issue.
Sure it is, Jim!
No, it isn't.
Suppose some nonham "had a hand in creating" the cell phone, or the
802.11G modem, or the RF ID tag reader used on containers, trucks and
railcars, or a host of other things. Does that *technical* achievement
somehow make him/her the most qualified person to set the rules and
regs in *amateur* radio?
Lennie has insisted that his "professional" career was far more productive
and useful than anything Amateurs do.
Where did he do that?
What I have seen is numerous verbose listings of his employers, and
projects he was part of. That's all.
I want to know WHAT it was he thinks he
did that is so useful? What is in my home or what do I use on a daily basis
that has HIS direct participation in that I can't do without?
Don't hold yer breath!
Lennie's "contribution" to radio was getting coffee for and staying out
of
the way of the REAL radio professionals as they did REAL engineering and
design work.
How do you know that, Steve?
From the opinions of someone who knew him and worked in the same facility
as he.
OK - let's say, just for the point of discussion, that your source is
right on the money.
That only covers one time period at one facility. Len tells us he has
worked a lot of places over a long period of time. One
less-than-stellar job does not a career ruin.
Besides - it's not the issue.
It is as long as Lennie keeps trying to throw his "professional" weight
around.
No, it isn't.
He claims he's a hotshot, but I know of at least one other TRUE
professional says otherwise.
OK, fine. But again, that's not the issue at all. Here's why:
There's a certain argument that begins with the arguer citing his
accomplishments in non-amateur radio and electronics. Then these
accomplishments supposedly qualify the arguer as being more qualified
to set policy than others - including hams who have much more *amateur
radio* experience. The argument is put forward even when the arguer's
experience has little or nothing to do with what hams actually do in
amateur radio.
In Len's case we have an extreme example:
He's never had an amateur radio license
Never worked as any sort of licensed radio operator in any other radio
service
Never been involved in radio regulatory matters other than writing
voluminous comments to FCC,
Never manufactured or designed any equipment for hams
Hasn't written an article or done a visible project in amateur radio
circles for more than 22 years
And by his numerous mistakes in his postings here, doesn't really know
that much about what hams actually do on the radio in the first place.
(Note his continuing non-understanding of why phase noise is an issue
for HF hams).
Yet he tries to tell us that his professional background somehow makes
him more qualified than to determine *amateur radio* policy than any
of us hams.
It would be like me, a male non-golfer, saying that I know best how
the LPGA should be run. Or that the folks who run the cruise ships
should determine policy for sailboats.
The entire argument is faulty. It's not an issue of whether Len is/was
a "hotshot" but rather how valid his arguments are. The rest is
diversion and bafflegab.

The central issue is whether his proposed changes would help or hurt
the ARS. I say they would hurt the ARS.
