To one I made a burn-in-hell-for-eternity mistake by NOT getting

and complete
failure to complete a Life Promise and shows moral turpitude (or
something
that smells strongly, maybe like paint thinner).

You said you would.

The law was changed accordingly.

You have subsequently done nothing but make excuses.

In short, you lied. No big deal. You do it all the time.

Another says I can ONLY "show interest in radio" by getting an
amateur
radio license FIRST.

Another lie.

No one has ever said that. What HAS been said is that you have no
established basis from which to make INFORMED opinons on Amateur Radio
practice and policy since you do NOT have any practical experience as
an Amateur.

[no real reason given except he was bereft of any
comback and was trying to wing a reply]

Yet another blatant lie.

You ahve been given REAMS of reasons. You just choose to ignore
all of them in preference to your own EXCUSES.

Well, that's just too #$%^!!!! bad
since I made that decision back 48 years ago, got a First Phone
and
started working in broadcasting, using it. Only one other seems
to
have a working time machine for regular trips back there...and
before.

Uh huh.

Lennie, YOU are the ONLY one in this forum who routinely discusses
ANY form of radio communication more than 10 years old.

Those of us who ARE licensed and ARE active in the hobby discuss
current events and future plans.

When I see "good debate" in here, I'll flag you down, run it up
the pole,
prolly take out a billboard.

NO, repeat NO "debate" in here is really possible with anyone
not-licensed-
in-any-amateur-service correspondent. That's been proved so many
times
over by public example in 8 years, that it shouldn't need any
comment.

You're right...It doesn't need any comment. When it comes to YOU,
all "debate" will be in your favor, on subjects YOU want to discuss,
and only within parameters YOU establish.

Sucks to be you.

And you'd be ABLE to enter into more of those discussions IF you
had some experience from which to draw upon.

A tour of duty in postwar Japan in the 50's is NOT "current
events", nor is it even marginally relevent.

This forum is EXCLUSIVELY for already-licensed amateurs to talk
about
getting INTO amateur radio? Of course. League has all the
answers,
just Follow The Law, do like everyone else did, and shuthehellup.
Simple.

Actually, exchange "Lennie" for "League", and you have exactly
summated all of your posts in this forum.

Morse code testing is The Law. All must Obey the Law.

I see...You have a problem with obeying the law. That's obvious,
of course.

Nobody EVER should think heretical thoughts about Changing The
Law.

Not at all...Just have a reasonable reason for changing it. "Just
because everyone else is" is not a reason.

Heresy! Blasphemy! [bite thy tongues, irreverent ones]

Tsk. Some of us do think the Law ought to be changed here and
there.

So do those of us who ARE licensed Amateurs. We've said so
repeatedly. But since YOU disagree with OUR opinions, all we get is
hateful bile and distortions from you.

Better call the Department of Homeland Security! The future
looks
full of tension and anxiety for the Antique Radiotelegraphy
Society (ARS).

So, no like to work with raw data on U.S. amateur radio
statistics?

So far, that's what Jim Miccolis HAS been doing. Real people with
real lcienses...Not club, military, RACES or other categories that
don't reflect true numbers of users.

It doesn't take a degree in statistics to follow Jim's numbers.

Afraid to see the trends showing the changing interests in the
hobby?

Like for the last dozen years?

Don't worry. JPM will be the savior, showing numbers that ease
your
worries, calm your anxieties. He is NEVER wrong. He say
so...mebbe.

Meanwhile, rail and rant at all those who don't think quite like
you do,
Mike. Obviously we are all "mistaken" and "in error" (for that
good old
"plain simple fact'). You will be vindicated. Nothing the NCTA
can
possibly be right, can it? [some of us are so nice and obliging
that we
deliberately make errors...all to make you
satisfied...heheheheheh]

So...you admit to making deliberate errors.
Why am I not surprised?

Putz.
