Why must the format be sold? Is it copy righted? If I send a message
using THE FORMAT without purchasing the form, am I guilty of copyright
infringement?

No...You just deliver an unprofessional looking scrap of paper.

WE use the forms.

Hi, hi!

You're 59, OM.

QSL.

Roger.

Every 10 minutes.

10-4.

Authenticate.

Amateur Radio Service = GI Bill.

"Sorry Jim, MARS is Amateur Radio."

Jim knows nothing of military radio.

Here Brain utters out-and out lies, but why stop him when he's on
a roll?

I suspect that Jim was an Extra in "Pump Up The Volume."

Which would mean he has 100% more movie credits than you, Brain.

You know NOTHING of Public Land Mobile Radio Services, never
had one. I did.

When you was LMR, Jim was VFR.

Lennie applied for a license. Plugged in a radio. Now he's a
radio hero and Brain is his cheering section.

You know NOTHING of Aircraft Radio Service, protocal or
procedures, or of actual air-air or air-ground comms.
I've done that, both air-air and air-ground.

Maybe Jim wasn't VFR.

Uhhhhhh...Lennie's knowledge of "Aircraft Radio Service" dates
from before his CB radio "experience", which was pretty lame
in-and-of-itself.

You know NOTHING of Maritime Radio Service, what goes on
and what is used. I've used it on the water, both in
harbors and inland waterways.

Jim is on CH16.

Lennie admitted to talking on the radio OF A
FRIEND....Whoooooopie. That's like me borrowing my daughters cellphone
and claiming I have cellphone service.

No doubt Lennie's "on land" experience was an illiegal use of
Marine Band HT's to keep in touch with Mrs Correspondence School.

You MIGHT know something of Citizens Band Radio Service.
CBers out-number amateurs by at least 4:1, could be twice
that. I've been doing that since 1959.

Jim is on CH19.

Lennie's a CB'er, alright. As if we didn't know already?

Yowsa!

Jim isn't involved in Gov't Radio. But he reads about it.

Jim's Giga Hurts.

I prefer smooth.

Jim once incorrectly calculated the distance to the moon. I think
maybe Coslo aided him with the calculations.

You should have gotten a QSL manager and with the greenstamps earned,
bought both sides of the QSO.

I suspect that Jim is subsidized in many ways.

Perhaps Jim will loan you some tube-type equipment ...

Jim insulted me. Jim insulted Hans. Jim insulted Mark. Jim insulted
Len.

Lennie and Brain insist everyone EXCEPT them inuslts "someone".

Makes them feel better about themselves.

Jim did not insult Dave who apparently thinks little of his service.

But, but, but he has greenlee punches...

That's "Greenlee", actually....

Jim is a follower.

Owch!!!

I guess that was before the days of instant gratification.

Do they require greenlee punches?

That's "Greenlee", acutally...

Come back when you've actually DESIGNED some solid-state
ham radio, not just assembled a kit designed by someone
else.

Plans from a Ham Radio magazine.

We could ask Lennie to live up to his own rhetoric, but hey, it's
been over 10 years now, he's not likely to ever do it now......

He can post attrition numbers on hobby radio.

Which will never include Lennie the Liar.
