Welp, when we get to one amateur license for the ARS, we can measure
the ham by what he/she does, not by some false title "earned" by how
fast they can emulate a modem.

Heh heh...Jimmie is sure defending HIS Title ain't he? :-)

Jimmie VERY RADIO ACTIVE in newsgroup, not on air. He
making Mr. Geiger count too quickly.

Yet the way he writes, he thinks he's better than everyone and
anyone in amateur radio.

That has long been evident. Amateur radio makes Leonard angry. The
ARRL makes Len angry. The idea that some radio ham knows more about a
topic than him, makes Leonard angry.

Yep, he sure botched the distance to the moon a way back.

Well, that's how it goes. The ones who've NEVER worked
in aerospace "know all about it" and are "experts," while
those of us who HAVE worked in it "know nothing!" :-)

All have worked stations ON the moon...using CW, the
universal language of all moonmen. [cheese it...]

And a lot more things. For example, having someone he considers
inferior correct some
of his mistakes makes Len angry.

I recall the time he worked out of band Frenchmen on Six Meters. What
a blunder that was.

Yeah, Heil musta been on CB at the time...

A regular french tickler that Heil...

Snap, snap...


Len has problems with authority,
seniority, titles, the Morse Code (and those who use it) and with mere
amateurs who do something for the love of it.

Also the inclusion of children in amateur radio, changes in real estate
zoning initiated by those he considers outsiders, civilians daring to
comment or even be knowledgeable about military history....the list
goes on and on.

Like the time he flauted the necessity of having an amateur license at
all and set up his own spark gap transmitter - then blamed it on the
Scouts!

Hi, hi, what an idiot!

Let's see, was that before he joined the USAF and became
an instant MSgt (with no schooling)? Or was it when he
left his "hormonally charged" sweetie on the porch on
the night of the Big Prom to rush home to operate his
ham rig with the first license? Or the one with "seven
hostile actions?"

No, porchman was Katapult King Kelly who would later
shoot bears for Naval Intelligence...[getting difficult to
separate one morseman from another, they all sound alike]

That's what makes it all the more peculiar. Len likes to tell us that
he is a PROFESSIONAL writer and that he did BIG TIME radio over a half
century back. Did you know that Len belongs to the IEEE?

Really? ;-) I suppose some folks could have missed that, the first
couple of hundred times he mentioned it.

I figured that there were people who might have missed that or the story
of Len's "BIG TIME" in HF radio. For a guy who doesn't need status, Len
certainly takes every opportunity to remind us of his status.

That's not status - that's title.

Whatever are you discussing??? Please stick to amateur radio topics,
please.

Jimmie not know. Jimmie crack corn and he no care...


You have to read that post carefully. I don't think Len ever mentions that
*he* was on the receiving end of an artillery barrage. He just mentions
what allegedly happens to all sphincters in the area.

So, Jim, what's it like? You're the expert on all things military
(except for whatever Robesin happens to be saying at the moment).

Jimmie got a lifetime subscription to Soldier of Fortune
magazine...he KNOWS what real, he-man BATTLE and COMBAT
is all about!

Jimmie ready to Lock and Load at every opportunity!

Jimmie KILL!!!


He likewise clammed up when I
pointed out his denigration of a fellow military veteran (me),

Not just you. The sphincters post was aimed at a US Coast Guard radio operator,
whose experience as a *military Morse Code radio operator* is both
infinitely more extensive and far more recent than Len's.

And mine. I've never been a Coastie nor a Math Lecturer at a University.

Jimmie never be a Coastie.

Jimmie never be a "university lecturer" (i.e., instructor
at a Junior College).

Jimmie never be a "*military morse code radio operator.*"

Jimmie never be in military.

Jimmie prolly took a fambly trip to an Atlantic beach once?


There's also his denigration of your nonmilitary Government service.

Only the parts that were patently absurd.

The patent was never granted. Seems there already was "prior
art" on such inventions...several made by earlier REMFs.

yet he is
quick to wrap himself in bunting, mount the soapbox and rail against any
perceived slight to himself as a military veteran.

Any disagreement to his statements is considered an insult by Len.

When did the subject switch to Robesin?

Never any "switch." Robesin - Heil - Miccolis are all
interchangeable. All are morsemen, macho and mighty.

"All who look upon their works, despair..." [Tennyson]


Actually, rereading all of this makes me feel kinda sad for Len. Here's a guy
who insists on telling us how wonderful his life is and has been (after all,
he bought that R-70 receiver new for CASH) but seems very angry much
of the time.

He does?

Yeah...I'm some kind of immoral corrupt person for paying
CASH for things. [Jimmie is gathering stones for the
stoning even as we write...] Tsk, next I will be
"anti-American" for NOT using money-lenders!

I'm just sooooo vile. In 1969 I paid CASH for a
'70 Chebby Camaro and never bought a new car on
installments since. I may have to wash out my wallet
with lye soap as punishment. [white over green, nice
interior, 357 cubes, it was a great babe magnet...]

By the way that little Icom R-70 still works fine after
nearly two decades. Still needs a good antenna, though,
haven't bothered with a new long-wire for it in 9 years.
[another moral degeneration to those whose "new receivers"
were built from dumpster-diving (cost less than $100)
back in the '70s] [I am soooooo bad!]

He says he's interested in "all of radio-electronics" as a "hobby",
and has spammed ECFS with hundreds of pages of verbiage, but has never
become a ham. (He says he comments for altruistic reasons.) Despite his
efforts, FCC will soon eliminate the Morse Code test - yet Len's anger
continues and even grows.

Tomorrow it will be seven years since the classic "out of the box"
post.

Me thinks he doth protest too much.

You thinks? That should be a whole nother thread...

Jimmie NOserve, that oh-so-superior Anglophile, made a
"plain and simple" MISTAKE. In olde Elisabethan
English, the proper useage should be 'Methinks,' one
word, not two. Jimmie not have visit from Stratford-
on-Avon Lady? Jimmie ever have visit with lady? Tsk.
Jimmie know what "box" is? [doubtful] Jimmie ever IN
a box? Jimmie need slice of American Pie? :-)

Yeah...I've utterly failed in life by not joining the
Mighty Macho Morseman SERVICE, putting on their uniform
(tarnkappen) and parading around with all the League
medals on chest, punishing all who didn't salute their
mighty morsemanship achievements of serving their
country by pounding brass. Beep, beep, beep...

I'd hang my head in shame except that I'm laughing too
much! :-)
