Hello? This newsgroup is about AMATEUR RADIO POLICY. Military
and international socio-political politics are another group.
Then why do you go off on so many tangents, Len? You seem to be afraid
to have a civil discussion about amateur radio policy here.
In order to have a "civil discussion" on Amateur Radio policy,
Lennie would have to have some sort of experience from which to make
informed opinions or suggestions from.
That never stopped Mike Powell or any of his predecessors. But it must
stop Len. Len must be stopped "SOMEhow!" At any cost.
The Avenging Angle of Dearth is off on another tangent.
Gosh, do you think that "experience" is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY?
The FCC doesn't require ANY staff or commissioners to hold
amateur radio licenses in order to REGULATE U.S. amateur radio!
["Sunnuvagun!" as Hans might remark...]
"Civil discourse" by Sevie (or Stebie, depending on which alter ego
is gabbling) consists of his wanting to crucify me on charges of
something like Treason or Sedition for honoring the members of my
Signal Battalion, continually calling me a "penis head" using a
Yiddish pejorative, and denouncing my knowledge of radio by not
"knowing the truth" about helicopters! :-)
Tsk. The PCTA Extra Double Standard *MUST* prevail to those
"civil discoursairs" ranging the high seas and destroying all
vestiges of discontent in their HOBBY.
I especially like Jimmie's "reason" for retention of the code test:
it is the SECOND most popular mode on ham HF bands, therefore the
test MUST remain!" Sevie (or Stebie) would probably require all
examinees to tap out the words to the Marines Him in morse as well.
"Civility" = total and absolute agreement with whatever the ARRL
publishes, anytime and anywhere.
