Is the Citizens Band Radio SERVICE a "national service?" No.

Sure it is.

Is the Amateur Radio Service a "national service?" No.

Sure it is.

Waaaa, waaaa, liddle Stebie stamps his feet and yells "is too!
is too!" :-)



"We" know that...because "we" are asked to man those other
facilities...Hospitals, fire stations, Red Cross offices.

Heroes to a man, Medal of Honor winners, Nobel Laureates
and forever in the hearts of their countrymen.....yawwwwn.

"The patriotic bunting is up, the bunting is waving...the
bunting is down...you have twenty seconds..."


One example in over 90 years of history does NOT a trend make.

Jimmie Grasshopper always says that.


Unfortunatley there ARE some very ill-mouthed persons just as Jim
described.

And in over 30+ years as an Amateur, mos tof which was HF-CW, I
have never "heard" a profanity...

"Dyslexics of the world, UNTIE!" :-)

"Mos Tof?" Is that a sister planet to "Mos Eisely" in "Star Wars?"

"Unfortunatley" poor Stebie is mad as hell again and can't take
his spelling again...


Heck, if you even tuneded that antiquated R-70 down band a bit
you'd know better...

Samantha needs to cast a "spell" on Stebie...

Should be easy, everyone else wrinkling their nose when Stebie
writes...



However it DOES appear as though code USE at least minimizes if
not prevents "verbal" abuse...Whether it's just a better class of
people or the "effort" one has to put into it makes it less attractive
to potential abusers.

Morse code is safe for CHILDREN?

Yes. All morsemen can behave as children safely...in here.

And some do! :-)

A jolly Foxtrot Uniform to you, too, hero of "seven hostile
actions!"

Temper fry.
