In another recent post, Robesin keeps referring to a "CV."
That's an acronym for the Latin 'curriculum vitae,' a list
of life experiences (education, work experience). In the
electronics industry, indeed in MOST industries, those
applying for jobs don't present a curriculum vitae, just a
RESUME of education-work experience. Some academics may
use "CV" but Personnel departments still look over resumes.
Just one more little gaffe on Robesin's part, trying to
LOOK experienced when he is NOT.

You're out of touch, old timer.

You're out of touch, world traveler.

Brits commonly use the term "CV"

robesin isn't a brit, is he?

Heil has about as much experience with Personnel departments (they
are called "Human Resources" now) as he has in getting along with
normal people (i.e., those not frozen in time to when code was
king).

Heil endured a double-decade in government service so he could get
a nice pension. In such a position Heil would have zero-point-zero
experience with resumes in trying to get a job interview anywhere
in industry.

Imagine working for all those appointed ambasadors? That had to suck.

With Heil's personality? Inconceivable! :-)


Heil is NOT interested in any "CV" definition. All he wants to do
is trash-talk his adversaries of the past in here. Heil is a
morseman. I am not. I don't revere the Department of State as
having any large international radio network (they don't, much of
what they have now goes through the DSN). Heil needs to flash all
that "government experience" to show how Big and "radio-wise" he
is, a "somebody" in a group of amateurs so he can stand tall. :-)

Flash over ride.

The REAL subject is MORSEMANSHIP. Heil is big on that because he
can do it and did it. BFD. What is before the FCC right now is
whether the USA will eliminate or keep the morse code test for an
amateur radio license. Heil has his license through morsemanship.
He could care zero-point-zero about anyone but himself in that,
certainly not anyone who might get into amateur radio someday.

I don't really think its because they want people to learn the code. I
think they want a barrier to keep the unwashed out of amateur radio.

I see the rabid "morse code tests for ALL" morsemen as just
NEEDING something to be "better than anyone else."


MORSEMANSHIP is of NO USE in the bigger world of radio comms of
today...except in the minds of olde-tyme AMATEURS in radio who are
frozen in times long past.

Morse is a barrier.

Morse testing in this new millennium is about as "necessary" as
having a buggy whip in an SUV to coax it out of a pothole.

But, the BM (Big Morsemen) think it can "save lives" (a la the
Titanic disaster of 94 years ago) so AMATEURS are "supposed"
to test for it to get an AMATEUR radio license. Nonsensical.
