Sigh...that's about the ONLY thing that justifies their mean
way of acting.

How do you justify your behavior here, Len?

Heil thinks about his rank-title-status and decides he
is "better than anybody" who can't do as "good" as
himself.

Heil is SELF-JUSTIFYING! :-)

he is a soiciopth like most of the extras

hopefully I can soon let some fresh air into that crowd

care to jion me Len?


I can hardly wait for that!


Brian, I've said it before and I'll say it again: My advocacy
was for the elimination of the code test for any US amateur
radio license. Since that is almost a legal fact, I won't be
bothering the happy little in-group of middle-aged-crisis
morse mavens that the moderated group evidences
becoming. I find NO joy in keeping up the farcical fantasy
of amateur radio constantly recreating "pioneer" times in
radio a half century after the actual pioneering...or, worse
yet, their idea that having a radio hobby is somehow
"serving their country." The way that most of the
morsemen act is like the re-enacters of old battles such
as the American Civil War...AS IF they are the "generals"
who - this time - will ensure that the South won, not lost.
:-( [in their minds maybe, but not in reality]

I've found that ALL of electronics ("radio" is a subset of
that) is a fascinating subject and still find it so. By itself.
I don't need some "national organization" to tell me so or
pump up my wish-fulfillment. There's an infinity more yet
to come as the technology continues to evolve. I'll keep
on with that. Those that strive for Control, for putting up a
facade of being "better" at ancient skills, can go have their
opinion orgasms in a tight little enclave of elite "gods of
radio" full of "contests" and exhortations of "mastering"
morse (because they think they did) and all "should" be
nearly as good as they are.

...just waiting for FCC 06-178 to become legal law...
