Default What is the ARRL's thought on having good amateurs?

That's really sad.
...and pathetic. No one should have to go through life as a

So who do you think Slow Code is? Kelly? Coslo? Deignan?


I haven't the slightest idea.


Well, I know "Slow Code" is not me.


Beyond that, he could be anybody with a computer and an internet
connection. "Slow Code" could be Len Anderson, who has used at least
seven different screen names here - that we know of.


How many screen names have you used here - that you know of?


Jimmie will NEVER admit to using any pseudonyms. :-)


Who is "Jimmie"? There's a "Jimmie D" who has posted to rrap recently.
I'm not him

Jimmie is a proud amateur "serving his country in other ways"
such as playing with his radio hobby, spreading "international
good will" by working DX on HF with CW. :-)


Who is this "Jimmie" person? Can't be me, because I've never claimed to
be "serving...country in other ways". And I work some HF CW DX, but not
as much as many other hams.

"Slow Code" could be Brian Burke, N0IMD,


Slow Code could be Jim/N2EY, despite protests that it isn't him.


No protests from me. Just a statement of fact: I am not "Slow Code".

Not in


petty prissy manner of "always being correct."


You mean like knowing the correct distance from the USSR to Tokyo? Or
the actual length of a quarter-wave whip for 73 MHz?

[i.e., thinking as


thinks...all else is "wrong"]


No, that's *your* game, Len.

One can always tell when Len is losing the debate - he starts following
his profile.

Miccolis already tried at least one pseudonym. That pesudo
STOPPED when confronted. [that's in the Google archives]


Really? Where's your proof?

But, but, but...Miccolis (who never swears) swears "it wasn't
him!" AS IF. :-)


Gee, Len, you've posted to rrap as








and the screen name you use now.

Those are just the ones we know of, too. There are probably more. Many
of your posts are anonymous, too.

Maybe you were "Cutie Boy", Len, doing a bad imitation of "Scratchi".

For all we know, Len or Brian Burke, N0IMD could be "Slow Code". I
don't mean to be insulting, but since "SC" insists on being anonymous,
he could be anybody.

I just know he isn't me.

Ditto
Robesin, Coslo, Bruce, Dan, Larry Roll, or anyone else who "appears" to
be absent from RRAP.


Maybe it is Val Germann, frustrated that he can't get his
(code speed) up? :-)


Your Extra still in its box, Len? In January it will be seven years.

Could even be KH2D after starting the Alzheimer's route...who
knows?

Maybe it is Lamont Cranston? "Who knows what evil lurks in
the hearts of No-Coders?" :-)

who has used a wide variety of screen names
here, ("billy beeper", "hot ham and cheese", to name just a few)
usually without including his name or callsign.

I understand that Brian Burke has received a whole lot less spam email
on his regular user account than when he posted here under his name and
call. I also understand that he let go of "Billy Beeper" at Han's
Brakob's request, as "Billy Beeper" was an invention of Hans, a
fictitious boy who feared evil No-Coders.


There's lots of fictitious BOYS in here fearing evil No-Coders.


Do you still have trouble "integrating young people into...an adult
activity", Len?

Most of them use pseudonyms. No guts. No courage. No brains.


You mean like someone who calls himself "Avery Fine"? And then denies
posting here?

Or "Leo"? Does "Leo" have "No guts. No courage. No brains."?

They hide behind their BFO-enabled beeping, afraid to stray
beyond the anonymity of their monotonic dots and dashes...and
dreams of glory and honor via morsemanship..."serving their
country in 'other' ways." :-)


You hide behind your keyboard, Len.



Wheeew! Thank god you expelled most of your gas in your last post you
didn't have a lot left over for this one.


He's got plenty more, "SC".

No Len. Most RRAPers aren't pro-CW, but you think they're pro code
because they're willing to learn it for a license.


It's really simple, "SC". Len has no tolerance for disagreement with
his cherished views. All you have to do to get him going is to disagree
with him. Or do something even worse: prove he is wrong (mistaken)
about something.

Larry, Dee and Me are the only pro 'Keep the code test' people in the
group anymore.


No, there's me, too. Jim, N2EY. You can read my comments to FCC on
ECFS.

I'm for both keeping the Morse Code test and improving the written
tests.
