DIRECT as in laying on of hands,
moving controls, operating, all that stuff.

I get the feeling that your knowledge of radio operating might be a
little light. Are you of the opinion that operating a radio falls under
"all that stuff"?

Len does not consider "operating skills" to be of much (if any) value.

a fair enough assesment of len views

I disagree, Mark. I do not consider a RADIOTELEGRAPHY TEST to be
any "operating skill" worthy of being part of an amateur radio
operator's license.

my apologies I was trying to simply agee on paper with Jim as a
Retorical tactic I was also accepting the screwed up procode difer that
says Cw test was the same as operating skill (just tryin some
hypothecials to see if Jim could get past the nonsense or if Jim is as
traped as Stevie and Dave

I understand your posting, Mark. I was, once again, trying to
make my position clear in this din of inequity.

Jimmie Noserve and Kernal Klunk love to argue for argument's
sake. They seem to be addicted to WIN arguments at all costs!
They frequently take quotes out of context and make disparaging
remarks on those as if they were stand-alone statements.

They MUST win. They are very sore losers, can't take pain.

They both use "operating skills" as if the ONLY kind of operation
of radio involves morse code. In every other radio service, there
is NO "operating skill" of the amateur variety involved. Klunk
should know that but he is no longer in the furrin servuss, busy
using his "operating skills" out of exotic countries such as
Guinea-Bisseau. He probably misses BEING "rare DX."


The FCC has had that viewpoint. They said so in public documents.

As early as 1990, as in FCC 90-53. Anyone can see a copy of that
at the NCI website. They said the same thing, although in slightly
different works, in NPRM 05-143 released on 15 July 2005.


Stupor-patriot morsemen think morse code telegraphy skills are
all that is "operating skill."

That's how it is with them extra morsemen.

Failure to agree with them results in immediate dismissal under
BUPERINST something or other.
