[in case you've forgotten...possibly since the NCI web
site didn't appear to know it until after a week had
passed after the FCC announcement...just a deduction]

You often make poor deductions, Leonard.

Yes ... he does.

I made an OBSERVATION, Carl. Looking at www.nocode.org every
day for a week after the 15 Dec 06 FCC announcement.

It wasn't a week after the Public Notice, but a couple of
days, before it was posted to the NCI website (and a link to the Report and
Order was posted within 24 hours of its release).

Then why didn't it appear that soon on the "NCI website?"
One that us earthpeople could read? The ARRL was posting
about it the same day!

Sounds like more than an OBSERVATION, Len.

Hello, Carl. It's strange to see your reply under a
pseudonym. Are you having an identity crisis?

Are you ticked off that somebody posted it to RRAP before you did?

No, Carl. I don't pretend to be a journalist. Why
do you?


One of the fundamental purposes/commitments of NCI was to be a
single-purpose organization that would disappear when the
Morse Code test went away. Job's done in the USA, it seems.

Carl, that's what you've been saying on NCI for a long
time.

Suddenly, comes "word" from the "Chief" of NCI on "important
news!" Allegedly "immediately" (more or less) "reported."

The thread subject is "One way to promote learning of code ..."

No snit, Carl? Really?

I thought it was all about little "red-hatted monkeys"
hopping about with tin cups looking for more federal
welfare emotional supplements for their beloved morse
code. Tsk, I must be mistaken...my bad...

I was on Maui for 10 days on a combination of business and vacation, but
modern technology (my EVDO card) alllowed me to access the internet
wirelessly from my notebook :-)

Wow! High-tech! insert a Robesin hyena-guffaw here

You should have remarked about a fancy hotel with Internet
connections in every room or something. You don't have a
direct satellite telephone? [Iridium is up and working,
ain't it?]

Are you jealous, Len?

Of Iridium? No, Carl. I have no need for any wireless
computer connection right now. Carl, if I ever NEEDED a
wireless computer connection I would buy the components
and connect it up. Plenty of that equipment available at
Fry's Electronics supermarket in Burbank just 10 minutes
drive away. They have good lap-tops for $500...we are
thinking of getting one again...


In the past few years, Carl upgraded from Tech Plus to Extra (aced the
test, too.).
Traded his old 2x3 6-land call for a spiffy 2x1 3-land call. Did a lot
of good
anti-BPL work, too. Worked some good DX on HF with SSB, too. Now he's
made a contribution to promoting the learning and use of Morse Code.
(not the *test*!).

Anything wrong with any of that?

Yes, Carl...why are you talking about yourself in third person?
It's really okay to say "I" when talking about yourself.

It's rather obvious to most readers that Heil has had a
deep personality conflict with me in here, by all
indications a deep, antagonistic attitude wherein he
keeps on finding "fault" with everything I say...and has
been doing so for years. Now you are doing the same thing.

Not everything you say, Len. Just some things.

Carl, don't be irritating. Your Manager's Charm School
certificate may fall off the wall...


I guess you'd prefer that nobody except you should mention what they've
done?

Carl, you're still suffering that personal identity thing?

Tsk, this is getting serious...


Gosh, maybe I should mention we were in Cabo for a shoot.
[film, that is] Shoot, forgot all about it...:-)

I was on a "film shoot" last night, Len. Except no film was actually
used - chemical photography is so 20th century. All digital.

Thank you for that information, Carl. Should I spread word
to the entertainment industry in Los Angeles? Although I
think they already KNOW all of that here. [just a hunch]

Oh, yes, in case you've not heard, a "shoot" has many
meanings among the pros doing TV and film work around
here...and in Vancouver, BC. Lots of quaint old terms
still persist in the entertainment industry...but you
KNOW them all, don't you? Of course you do...you will
remind us by telling us all what they mean...after all,
you are a code-tested amateur extra and KNOW everything.

BTW, the "Cabo" I mentioned was "Cabo Tan Lucas" on
Victory Blvd in Burbank, CA (half a block from
Hollywood Way a north-south major street). A tanning
salon, now under a different business name. :-)

Oh, and Carl, there's roughly 2 to 3 production
companies shooting on location somewhere in the Los
Angeles area every workday (and many Saturdays). Ah,
but you KNEW that, didn't you, Carl? Of course you did,
you are a code-tested amateur extra and KNOW those
things.

Nice talking to you, Carl...
