Is usenet working?

Obviously not. Did you use the proper ARRL-approved procedure
and correct prosigns?

Do you do that?

Oh Heaven Forbid!

The above message appeared on Coronation Day (20 Jan 05)
download of this newsgroup from AOL.

If this was inauguration day for John Kerry, would it have been
Coronation Day?

Of course not!

Personally, I wish we could have had it rebroadcast all over the
world.

That "We, The People" business was done all over again, and once
again we decided the leadership of the most powerful nation on Earth
without firing a single shot!

All the "shots' fired were of the verbal kind...the people were
allowed to decide for themsleves, and their opinions solicited in the
form of a ballot.

Many didn't get what they hoped for, but they will move on to the
NEXT election.

Had there been observation of the Newsgroup NEWS on AOL
you would have seen the announcement (by AOL) that they
had "technical difficulties" in interfacing to INTERNET
newsgroups. On that same AOL NEWS section there is NO
indication that AOL will be dropping newsgroup connections
to the INTERNET in "early 2005."

Suggestion: Connect to DARPANET directly and use morse
code mode communications. After all, "CW gets through
when nothing else will, right?"

Tell us again what "usenet" stands for, Leonard.

And tell us about operating with an expired license again
too...That was too funny!
