For that matter, where will the time come from for
you to set up an HF station and operate it?

Isn't it about time YOU came up with some solid-state
designs yourself?!?

The question was " . . . you to set up an HF station and
operate it?"
When was the last time you set up your
personally-owned station and
operatated it yourself solid state or otherwise Sweetums?

Thought so.

Well, we know that he once had a cb set. And was once co-owner of
some sort of land-mobile VHF system.

And about a quarter-century ago he plunked down the coin for
an R-70 - a manufactured general-covverage receiver.

All the rest I've read has been about his use of stations owned
and set up by others.

One more laughable pot calling the kettle black pile of
bafflegab from the bowels of L.A.

But...YOUR amateur radio world looks dark and dreary
indeed.
No more will you be able to show off your "federally
authorized" morsemanship rank/title/privileges!

Nah, all we have to do is quietly show up at a
Field Day getogether and
go brasspounding and watch the crowd of
codeless wonders gather 'round in amazement.

Been there. Done that.

Remember the year the one CW station made more points than
the three 'phone stations put together? Oh wait - that was
every year we operated...

I'm sure that the world of amateur radio looks bleak indeed
to a
sourball standing on the outside, looking in.
Morse Code testing or no,
Mr. Anderson will still be on the outside looking in.

And he built that wall around himself himself.
Unbelievable . . .

Like those "gated communities" where the houses are walled in...

There isn't a
snowball's chance in hell that Leonard will obtain
his "Extra right out
of the box" before he completes his mission of
taking up space and using up oxygen.

Maybe he will get a license once the code test goes away.
Doubtful, since he's never held any class of amateur
radio license, despite code test waivers, accomodations,
the creation of a license class with no code testing at
all, etc.

Yeah but yoicks would you really like to have him show up on the
bands?? Ye Gods . . ! Maybe we oughta just leave well enough
alone
before he goes ape and climbs over his wall and does something we'll regret.

Getting a license is one thing. Actually setting up an effective
station is something quite different. For all of his talk and
bluster, he doesn't have a single ham radio project to show us.
Sure, he did some articles for a defunct magazine - a quarter century
ago. All basic theiry, covered elsewhere long before.

Nor will he set up a station unless somebody else is paying the
way and it's all manufactured appliances.

Antennas? Don't hold yer breath.

All talk - no action. That's ol' Len.
