Heck, I've had it all wrong, Dave. I thought having a
callsign
*offended* him!

Maybe he's right and I am a little dull...

Trying to impress him offends him. That would, in Len-speak, make
you
"overly-proud".

Next thing you know, Len'll be picturing you in an invisible Waffen
SS
uniform and his thoughts will drift to having you punish him. It
gets
really strange *after* that.

What about the Putzmeister ISN'T "strange", Dave?

After reading his output here for nearly a decade, I can honestly answer
that I don't see much. He recently wrote about "marching to a different
drummer". Well, he's the kind of guy who marches in a parade with 150
others and shouts at them that *they're all out of step* with him.

He's an ex-radio technician (wannabe engineer) who can't pass a
radio exam.

Be fair, Steve. Len might be able to pass an exam. He might not. He
might not be able to pass a morse exam at this point. Len has told us
of a decades-long interest in amateur radio. He has told us about
getting an "Extra right out of the box". He has also told us that he
has no interest in obtaining an amateur radio license. In short, it
really doesn't matter what Len could or could not do. The chances of
him even making an attempt are quite small.

He embellished his military "career" with tales of derring-do of
guys who were KIA 3 years before he was even inducted. (And let us not
forget the "hair raising" tale of "incomming artillery" and how he
served "under the threat to the Soviet Bear" even though that "Bear"
was still being manufactured!)

Len is big on wrapping himself in patriotic bunting. You'll note that
when I wrote "Vietnam combat veteran" very recently, Len's response was
"COMBAT!?"

He makes up stories about the alleged "dishonesty" of ARRL board
members then doesn't provide a lick of evidence.

As you've no doubt seen, Len can't answer a question with a straight
answer.

He's quick to tell everyone else what they "are" or "aren't", yet
isn't any of those things either.

No, he's not. One of the things he isn't happens to be a radio amateur.
In that, he's an odd man out. At very least, he's an odd man.

He cries "foul" over having been challenged in the eyes of the
FCC, yet has spammed ECFS with almost 2 dozen "he's not objective
because..." "rebuttals" of licensed Amateurs with decades of
experience.

I'm telling you, Steve, he has to have been the subject of discussion at
the Commission on one or more occasions.

He claims he can operate "anywhere" with his GROL, but can't stand
it when it's pointed out to him that his GROL SPECIFICALLY restrains
his "operating privileges".

What's the diff? His commercial license has nothing to do with amateur
radio.

He was never "published" in a professional journal and was part of
an Amateur Radio journal that went belly-up with him as part of the
"Editorial Staff".

I don't think it likely that Len's presence had anything to do with "Ham
Radio" ceasing publication. I went through some of my back issues and
viewed some of Len's material. None of his articles were construction
articles. None were interesting enough to me to have read them when
first published. None interested me enough to read them through when I
saw them recently. I saw them as stuff to be skipped between amplifier
or antenna articles.

He routinely makes glaring errors of fact and practice in Amateur
policy...

He does get quite a number of things partially or completely wrong.
Then again, he has no background in amateur radio.

Could it be cuz he has no practical experience in Amateur
matters...?!?!

Oh, I think Len has plenty of experience in amateur matters, just not
amateur radio matters.
