I don't see anyone wallowing around looking for anything. I see
you
being your pathetic self.

How do you come up with "pathetic", Brian?

I come up with "pathetic" quite easily. The word handily describes
the
guy who attacks anyone who holds an opinion other than the one you
hold.

There are several people in here with whom I have disagreed and/or
carried on length discussions at opposite ends of the verbal see-saw.

Only you, Todd, Lennie, and a couple others have huffed up the
tone.

Prove you opinions.

My "opinions" are that you are not truthful and/or will not prove
your assertions.

(1) "I operated legally from Somalia". As of today, still not a
single reference to a single bit of evidence that corroborates your
claim.

(2) "Unlicensed devices play a major role in emergency
communications". Again, not a single bit of evidence that there is
anything but some distant, ancilliary role that "unlicensed" deveices
play in ANY emergency communications, and certainly not a single
reference to any communications plan of any organization that makes
them a "major role". Even REACT has all-but-abandoned Class D CB in
favor of using GMRS for it's operations!

(3) "I've worked enough DX from my other duty postings in Korea
and Guam to make DXCC several times over." An obvious paraphrase on my
part, but you've still not ponied up any evidence of having
accomplished DXCC even ONCE, from ANY location, let alone FROM a DXCC
location.

(4) "Amateur Radio's role in emergency services is overplayed
because in an emergency, they won't be able to respond due to too few
operators or operators unable to do it due to age or health". Again, a
paraphrase, but an accurate and very, VERY recent one. You've still
not ponied up a SINGLE example of ARES or any other Amateur Radio based
service NOT fulfilling it's promised responses. Not a one.

So there are four prime examples of YOU not substantiating YOUR
claims, thereby proving MY opinions that you are NOT truthful and that
YOU do not prove YOUR assertions.

Anything else?
