Yet more of Lennie's self-defeating belittlements.
Or perhaps it's an attempt to bring others down to his level, get them
fighting with each other, etc.
Tsk, tsk, I'm not needed for such infighting. You lads do right
fine all by yourselves
Lennie ! PLEASE! You're ALL ABOUT being disruptful, antagonizing and
arrogant!
Consider that Len is not a ham, has never been one, and probably
never will be one. He isn't even very knowledgeable about Part 97,
as illustrated by his ignorance of 97.21(b).
So why is he preaching to the FCC and the online world about
how ham radio should be? He won't tell us his motivation.
Well, Herr Gruppekommandant, it's time to "show you my papers"
and confess all.
More self-defeating belittlements.
Way back in prehistory of 1952 (der kommandant didn't exist
then), I had these terrible thoughts of Patriotism and stuff,
hadn't been to the sacred halls of ivy yet, and thought to volunteer
my body for Army service.
No doubt you DO consider patriotism as being terrible. Your grossly
disgusting self-promoting on the sacrifices of Soldiers who died three years
before you were in the service are prime example.
Ya see, as a poor ignorant soul, nobody had told me my body is
SO precious that I shouldn't put it in harm's way like volunteering
for the military when there was an actual War (shudders) On. We
had several hams in my home town but nobody thought to Elmer
me on being "able to serve in 'other' ways." That was the first
mistake.
Ahhhhhh.....so here we have yet ANOTHER attempt to polish your own brass
by associating yourslef with the Army DURING the war.
YOU WEREN'T EVEN IN THE ARMY THEN!
The second mistake was the Army assigning me to Signal School
for a rarely-heard-of MOS called Microwave Radio Relay. (remember
that 1952 was, after all, "prehistory") Hams all knew that there was
only black magic above 30 MHz and that no REAL hams found it
useful. The rest of the radio world didn't matter...only REAL hams
knew what was good in radio and what was not.
Ahhhyes, the "Microwave Radio Relay". Lennie the Radio Mechanic. Assigned
to an outpost that WASN'T configured for the stuff youw ere trained on, just so
they could get you out of the way.
The Army did a third mistake! They assigned me to an Army radio
station in Tokyo. One of those "small" places with only about 36
HF transmitters that was in operation 24/7 and serving the Far
East Command Headquarters. Microwave radio relay equipment
installation had been delayed by a year or so so I had to learn all
about high-power HF transmitters, how to operate them, how to do
maintenance on them, how to fix them when they went bad. Plus
the essentials of HF networking, TTY-RTTY, the original SSB, along
with VHF and UHF radio relay operation and maintenance that the
Army eventually replaced with microwaves.
You were never a "radio operator", according the the MOS'es you've cited,
Lennie.
You were just a radio mechanic. And I doubt you had much to do with THAT
either.
In the midst of all that, I compounded the mistake by trying to LEARN
and do better at what I did.
And you made a life-long career of it...Mostly by riding the coat-tails of
others who DID "do better".
Shame on me. I should have read the ARRL publications a lot more than I
had.
Guess what I found in the Army MARS station on Okinawa, Lennie...???
The WHOLE SET of ARRL publications.
The Army wasn't using
any morse code whatsoever in carrying massive message traffic
across the Pacific! Maybe the ARRL was already falling down on
the Lobbying job because they had NO effect on the Signal Office,
USA! Lots of very olde-tyme hammes were sitting around shaking
their heads at the stupidity of the U.S. military for not using more
morse code mode in the 1950s! [it's a wonder hams didn't march
on the Pentagon to demand More CW!]
Dunno why you keep trying to work some unfounded rants about Morse Code
use into your already dubiously factual posts, Lennie.
Tsk. The Mistakes didn't stop. I got a commercial radio operator's
license so that I could make some money in broadcasting before
moving to the sunbelt (I choice of Florida or California depending on
the art school).
But you've not been involved in "broadcasting", Lennie. Unless sitting on
your TV remote or garage door opener counts.
I've been told that I NEED TO GET A HAM LICENSE
FIRST in order to SHOW INTEREST IN RADIO! Except I remained
ignorant since nobody TOLD ME that back then.
That's not what you've been told, but keep on lying in public, Lennie...
So, getting accepted at Art Center School of Design...(SNIP)
Well, since HAC wasn't pioneering any morsemanship on HF...(SNIP)
In late 1958 several more mistakes happened...(SNIP)
Oh, the mistakes get worse. I bought a Johnson Viking CB
transceiver and got a CB license...(SNIP)
THAT explains a lot.
...and could do only about 8 WPM morse, if that.
A lie. Then. Now. Tomorrow.
I know its hard to believe but USA university curricula do NOT
require any morsemanship or being-licensed-in-amateur-radio-to
show-interest-in-radio!!! ...(SNIP)
Lying again, but hey, it's all you really ARE good at.
Tsk. More mistakes beginning early, like high-fidelity music
interest since high school....(SNIP)
I can almost see you in a Zoot Suit or with your hair greased back at the
Sock Hop.
Instead of wanting to listen to good
sound, I should have worked very hard at perceiving the "music
of morse" (monotonal, aperiodic). My contemporaries liked to
hear the false music of symphonies and jazz bands. Shame on
us. We knew no better than to trust our own senses.
On Contraire, Lennie! Your senses of self-promotion, deceit and cheating
worked well for you! Hey, you got away withn it! Be proud!
Of course that's why you WON'T go take an Amateur exam...you KNOW they
won't be bought off or will "look the other way" when you can't pass a closed
book test.
Then personal computing!
Ahhh yes...Every antagonist get's his own pulpit. RRAP is Lennie's.
Yes, we infidels denigrating the True Calling should have worked our
morsemanship and pioneered the airwaves for Telstar, microwaves
across the continents, the communications satellites giving us
near-instant communications across the globe, the Deep Space
Network, Men ON the Moon televised live, the Internet, the cellular
telephone...all of which use absolutely NO morsemanship to devise
or build or perfect. We all had FALSE MOTIVATION.
Your only "motivation", and stated over and over by YOU, was money.
Really twits your bolts that we do all those things free!
Yes, it's a mighty CONSPIRACY against the amateur morsemen,
begun before most of them existed, deliberately kept up to humiliate
them and keep them from perfecting the Antique Radiotelegraphic
Society (ARS) of the United States. We are all WORKING AGAINST
YOU MORSEMEN in a titanic struggle for power (but only in news-
groups) and THREATENING YOUR MIGHTY EGOS!
So far, Your Scumbaginess, YOU are the only one with any demonstrated ego
issues.
It was all a mistake. An evil, antichrist-sort of mistake, compounded
many times, deliberately aimed at all those mighty macho morse-
men in this newsgroup. We have defiled your divine wishes, holy
fathers. We ask no penance, no absolution for our sins (or sines).
I sincerely doubt you can tell a sine wave from an astrological sign
without a book in front of you or a URL to click on.
We answer to a Higher Order, not to your demands. Go thee and
perform auto-intercourse.
Always the professional.
