I recall some years back when a certain poster here was haranging us
about "better modes and modulations" and how we should be using DSSS
on HF. He was/is Executive Director of a lobbying group called "No
Code International" IIRC.

He gave us the essentially the same speech over and over. He also
spoke out forcefully against "wallpaper hunting" and "electronic
paintball wars" (his terms for award-seeking and contesting). Then
restructuring came, and he eventually got his Extra. Last I heard, his
major ham activity was chasing HF DX - on SSB. With a manufactured
transceiver.

I thought everybody knew KARL was just looking for a FREE RIDE to HF. he
could care less about but his FREE RIDE.
