I venture to say that " a lot of *them* Canucks" are appalled that
such knowledge of Radio is offset by such ignorance of other
matters. Have a good one, *eh*? k35454.

Bear in mind that such a small percentage of Canucks have ever had
any Military service, that the notion of even the smallest fraction
of them having a clue what war is about or why we fight is a hopeless
cause. That's not true in your one case, but most of the Canadian
posters here have been useless saps that pretend to understand
something about war and yet they have never held a rifle. I grew up
spending many summer weekends across the Lake in Ontario, and still
have friends there today. I never met a single person in Ontario in
thirty years of visiting that had any of the idiotic notions offered
by the Canadians on this board. So I'm not stereotyping when I say
all, no, MOST of the Canadians on this list are crackpots. It just
works out that way. I'm sure your Country appreciates your service,
and wished there were more like you. Unfortunately, based on a the
sample here, many would think that impossible.

Cheers and Happy New Year!

If everyone would just kill file the crackpots wherever they come from
the rest of us would be better off. The crackpots don't have knowledge
of short wave or any other subject worth reading.
