Steve is referring to 20 years prior to the advent of the No-Code
Technician, which happened sometime in the early 90's, so his reference
period is early 70's. Basically, he's saying that many, most, or all
hams entereing the ARS since the early 70's have Bashed it and are
worthless CBers.
No...BRIAN BURKE is calling them "worthless CBers"...
Steve Robeson said nothing of the sort.
Welp, whatever you said it was wrong. Just plain wrong.
"...whatever you said..." ?!?!
BBBWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
! ! ! !
YOU are the person who refered to other radio operators as
"WORTHLESS"...
And I NEVER called ANY operator, CB, Amateur or otherwise
"worthless".
Can't even keep two days worth of exchanges straight, can you,
Burke..?!?! Can't even keep YOUR stories straight!
Once again, for your edification:
"What Steve Robeson DID say was that certain downward trends in the
Amateur Service began with the advent of the "Bash Books" and the
subsequent "opening" of the question pools"
What Steve Robeson DID say was that certain downward trends in the
Amateur Service began with the advent of the "Bash Books" and the
subsequent "opening" of the question pools.
You were the original data point that began the trend.
No...I established a time line based upon another event. I had
nothing to do with it, Brain. I "experienced" it, but was not aprt of
it.
"Open pools?" There were "Q&A" books published before 1956
on ALL FCC written tests. BEFORE the Dick Bash publications.
That was way back in history when ALL the FCC radio regulations
were supplied as three-ring binder, loose-leaf pages.
ARRL, Ameco...
Nice try.
Yes, both publishers printed books that closely outlined the
exams.
Bingo.
What "bingo"...?!?!
They did not then publish the verbatim questions and answers to the
FCC tests. FCC regulations at the time forbade it.
NONE of them were verbatim recreations of the FCC examinations. I
used the Ameco texts while studying for my General and Advanced tests.
Neither had the questions I saw on those exams.
I guess you think that makes you better than the amateurs that used the
questions pools?
Nope. Not in the least. But it DOES mean I know more about radio
communications because I actually learned the material.
All of those non-ham radios are in use by "riff-raff?"
Dick Bash is "responsible" for all the Q&A books published
in the 1950s? Yes to all implies the mighty Stebie,
"speaker for all hams and the 'ham community'."
Bash was a ham. A Mighty Morseman
Bash was a pig. A disgusting profiteer.
Hi!
Shouldn't that have been at the opening of the post?
Unfortunately every
profession has theirs. Bash, along with Fred Maia and Gordon West are
ours.
Steve, K4YZ
What of the ARRL? They also publish the question pools and sell them.
I wish you could have been in SoCal the same time I was, Brain...GW
flooded SoCal with these "operators" who took his weekend "radio
school" and walked out with an Amateur license.
Yes...the ARRL sells them too...Point taken.
Steve, K4YZ
I think the length of your reply would please Len.
