Amateur radio is a HOBBY, a personal activity involving
transmission of RF energy communications for recreation as a fun
avocation.

Yet you are so quick to brag about all your so-called communications
accomplishments, yet I doubt you could even find the on/off swithc on a
transmitter.

"It ain't braggin' if ya done it."

By the way, I also know how to spell "switch" properly. :-)

Technically, I would rate your "swithc" [sic] as an NPNT
(No Pole No Throw).

Just having once leaned up against an Army communications
van while you were taking a break from picking up cigarette butts on the
base didn't make you the communications expert you seem to think you are
lennieboy.

I've never claimed to be an "expert" in communications 50 years
ago, buzziebaby. That was just my START in HF communications.
Even though my battalion back then had a dozen or so AN/GRC-26s
(field radio HUT on a TRUCK, not a "van"), I never had to know
or operate manual radiotelegraphy then or since in a career in
aerospace electronics in southern California, transmitting legally
on parts of the EM spectrum ranging from LF on past UHF to 25 GHz.

So what have you done for the victums of Katrina?

Tsk, another MOTIVE MAVEN "challenging" others! :-)

I've joined some neighbors in contributing monetary aid through
a local entertainment guild fund-raising program. Some of us
have never been IN movies or TV but we know the guilds and the
good people in them. Los Angeles is a hub of movie and TV
production...which you SHOULD KNOW WELL seeing as you were born
in two-dimensional black-and-white on television in the 1950s,
"Commander Buzz Corey of the Space Patrol!" Geez, if Ed Kemmer
ever knew what would happen to his portrayal of that fictional
character by pompous wannabe space cadets, he might have gotten
a different acting job.

Tell us again how YOU helped the disaster victims by posing as
"Commander Buzz Corey of the Space Patrol!" of the 1950s, and
without EVER identifying yourself as anything but a two-dimensional
fictitious character on the boob tube a half century ago.
