It's a problem when Len posts off-topic

Maybe a problem for you, but it's not a problem for me! I don't ca=
ll Len down
for being OT.

I just wonder where all the crying hams went that usually call down L=
en
for being off topic?

Most of the "crying" about "calling" Lennie for being "off topic"
usually follows one of HIS diatribes wherein HE expends a lot of hot
air and mularkey about what constitutes a propper topic for the
newsgroup.

Ah, yes. Lennie "asks for it." Typical stuff from abusers.

He doesn't "ask for it"...He just get's in kind what he delivers.

The same sort of spin he generates about others pretending to be
"moderator" immediately followed by his pontifications about what HE
perceives as being "appropriate" for discussion.

Strange. I most often read about him being off-topic.

I am sure your scope or reference is a bit myoptic.

Are those radio-telephone crafts?

Yes, as a matter of fact a large part of the recovery work involves=
restoring
microwave and cellular radio infrastructure. If you have skills in=
those areas,
you might investigate the opportunity.

I think Len does. Probably what's keeping him off rrap.

Leonard H Anderson has no interest whatsoever in being part and
parcel of ANY kind of "public service" work. Lennie's absence is no
doubt due to yet another of his "trips".

How would you know? Are you watching and following Len?

Nope, but that's HIS "standard response".

Besides...What is needed at present are not "design engineers"
(which is what Lennie CLAIMS to be)...but installers and technicians
(jist as the thread title suggests) to get the new sites up and
running. The technology has already been "set", and each site, other
than local terrain, is exactly the same as the one next to it. Just
add water and shake.

Strange. I recall Len saying that he had been trained by the US Army
in microwave communications.

You need to re-orient yourself, Brian...

That was "microwave communications" in the FIFTIES, which bore
absolutely NO resemblence with current "microwave communications".

Except for perhaps West Point, Army
training is technical in nature; training personnel in the
installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment.

Uh huh...And the "equipment" Lennie was "trained" on required a
walk-in closet to facilitate.

His design experience came later, so Len is actually qualified to do
both.

He's designed nothing. Not one thing. He's BOASTED of being a
"design engineer" for years, and frequently drops the names of projects
whose names appeared in Aviation Week and Space Technology.

His only "radio" reference, other than being a radio mechanic at
ADA, is the SINCGARS program...A program absolutely irrelevent to
Amateur Radio, but he sure does make sure we hear about it.

That bad, bad Len being qualified to do both! Gosh, he must have
decided early in life to lay the foundation to bust all of your rants.
Very inciteful, that Len.

That he managed to do enough to get paid and not so mcuh as to
muck up what ever program he was working on at the time are his ONLY
"contributions" to "radio"

Of course too we presently have reams and reams of "front page"
media singing the praises of the Amateur Radio service being able to
"get through" when nothing else can, completely contrary to Lennie's
rhetoric of the past 8 years...

It's such a shame that our professionals waste millions and millions of
dollars each year installing, maintaining, and upgrading emergency
comms when a couple of overweight, senior cit hams can lay them all to
waste. Why do they even bother?

Huh? Is Mark Morgan ghost writing for you now?

Must be awfully embarrassing for him. But it's not the first
itme.

Such a big ego must cause you some embarassment from itme to itme,
tooey.

It's not my "ego" we're discussing...It's Lennie's.
