As usual, I can find nothing wrong with your reply.
That's because Twisty has distorted the issue beyond all recognition, as
usual.
Let me clear this up:
The issue is that Twisty believes, without regard to all the evidence to
the
contrary, that I am N7VCF, a ham with the same name that lives in
Issaquah. I
have maintained all along that I am not him, and that I live in Spokane.
So
Twisty, fearing the public humiliation of being forced to admit failure,
is
trying with great intensity to prove that I am wrong.
A couple years ago you posted "Stuff for Sale---Cheap!!". That stuff
included a
Heathkit HW-18 which I bought and subsequently scrapped because the board
was
too far gone for repair (however I got lots of good parts out of it,
including a
nice project cabinet/chassis).
Anyway, as proof that I don't live in Issaquah, I suggested he ask you
where you
shipped the Heathkit that you sold me. He only needed to ask a simple
question,
but like everything else he mucked it up.
Also, despite my open criticism of your claims about the FCC's upcoming
enforcement efforts, he suggested that you might lie in my defense.
Respond as you see fit.

Well,
That subject was not addressed, OR I missed it. That is why I was in the
dark. I am reluctant to get involved in
disputes on here.
I should let TwistyDave field -that- remark himself, but I'll say that you not
only get involved, you actually create some of those disputes with your position
on FCC enforcement. Regardless, the only 'involvement' requested of you was the
confirmation of a fact about myself, and by my own request. If that makes you
queezy then don't bother.
The FCC actions are on www.arnewsline.com, www.arrl.org/enforcement. Of
course you know about
UPS, Pacetronics, Roper Electronics, R and L Trucking,
Cheetah Transportation, Jolly Roger Enterprises, et al, right? It is
happening and will continue to get worse until
the incursions into 10 and 12 Meters stop.
Like I said before, those efforts aren't working. Most of the illegal 10m
activity is done using CB radios modified by electronic hobbyists and hams using
information that is readily available over the internet. Shutting down a few
companies that are capitalizing on the trend only sends the message that piracy
is OK as long as you don't plan to make any money doing it.
Let's try an analogy here.... Suppose you have a party-house next door. We're
talking screaming, yelling, profanity, fights, loud music at all hours of the
day and night -- basically the Citizen's Band personified. The FCC thinks it can
shut down the house by busting a few local convenience stores selling beer to
underage kids, an effort which is completely ignorant of the determination and
resourcefulness of these kids. Meanwhile, you think everything will be fine as
long as you build a fence high enough to keep the crap out of your own yard. But
that doesn't stop the flow of traffic around your house, nor does it stop other
houses in the neighborhood from becoming a party-house. And as the parties get
bigger and bigger, you have to keep building the fence higher and higher, until
one day that fence will be so high it will collapse on itself. When that happens
the party will explode all over your yard. Maybe -then- you and the FCC will
decide to address the -source- of the problem, and not just try to limit it's
effects. However, it's more likely that the FCC will just write off your house,
fence off the neighborhood with you inside, and keep busting convenience stores
just to pacify the rest of the community that turned their heads while your
house went down.
