If you're the next guy, I'm much more privileged than you. Pass the
exams, Mr. Cheese. You too can be more privileged.

Mr Deignan's priveleges went beyond those authorized. Riley had to
reel him back in. Put him on the straight and narrow...

but he's still got a big mouth and a Hawaiin callsign.

By the way, I scarfed up a number of DX calls. I hope you don't mind.

Not at all. You were there, Mr DX. I approve.

Mr Deignan was there in PO Box only.

Did you loan out your PO Box to folks who wanted a cool Tanzanian call
sign? Did you get a cool Guam call sign having never been to Guam,
then pretend to Lecture people on how to run their amateur lives?

Mr. DX was able to "scarf up DX calls" courtesy of WORKING
IN THE STATE DEPARTMENT and getting DIPLOMATIC COURTESY from
foreign nations. Any way one slices it, Herr Oberst was
able to do that while being EMPLOYED at work that was NOT
devoted to amateur radio. DIPLOMATIC COURTESY.

Did der Robust Oberst ACTUALLY TAKE THOSE FOREIGN AMATEUR
RADIO TESTS...IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGES? Hard to say
but it is likely he will not, nor ever, admit that
DIPLOMATIC COURTESY was the major via for that "scarfing."

That's hard for me to say, and I'm sure Dave won't say.

But if you check out the ARRL web site under operating from foreign
countries, something which all the smartie Extras should do before
they accuse people of being bootleggers, you'll find that a USA
license and a fee is usually enough to obtain a call in many
countries.

It went well beyond the "three hots and a cot" enjoyed by
long-ago military radio operators who've been in here and
bailed...the military that taught them morsemanship.

A skill greater in value than all the rest of amateur radio combined.

The State Department EMPLOYMENT served the government, but
using that as a cover for "scarfing up" foreign callsigns
is not an "achievement" of himself.

C'mon Len. I'm sure Dave did his job to the best of his ability.
Didit?

I agree that it is
less reprehensible than going into collusion with another
amateur extra to falsify the intent, spirit of law to gain
personal emotional advantage of having non-existant club
trusteeships.

Riley has no dominion over Dave when he's operating out of the
country. On the other hand, Riley had his boot on the neck of one RF
Commando! Hi!

But, Heil was with the government and thinks he's here to
"help." Ptui.

LA

He's here when the bands are closed. That's all.
