I certainly did - just the right bait to draw you to the lure. Works
on Jim, too, because he cannot resist. Every time - without fail!


That's demonstrably untrue, "Leo".


But you will not admit it.


Please demonstrate!

I give him mebbe four days, then he can't resist the URGE
any longer!


Pretty close - almost two days!


Denial ain't no river in Egypt. He ain't no sphinx either.

[his opinion sometimes stinx tho'...]

How about a hint on how the Canadians are feeling about
their southern neighbor's amateur radio regulation
changes? I be most curious about that. Haven't had the
time to surf the 'net to some of the Canadian ham sites
to look in.


Good question - other than announcements stating that code testing was
ending down there, I haven't seen much discussion on the subject.

The great code test debate was settled here a while back with little
fanfare - and surprisingly little mudslinging between the two sides.
Probably the same down there - this little corner of heaven
notwithstanding.....

And the world did not end! (doomsayers take note)

Next up looks like a new "Foundation" licence category may be on the
way, to encourage those who only want to communicate using simple ham
radios to join in. This license would require bare minimum study and
testing - after all, using one of the modern 2-meter handhelds isn't
any more complex than using an FRS handheld - add how to use a
repeater, and some simple procedures and protocol, and they're good to
go! (Australia and England have already done this, IIRC).

Wonder if that's something which will start up down your way too? (or
perhaps the Tech license already fills this requirement?) I'd bet
that discussion would keep the 'regulars' on this group busy for the
next decade!


Hah! I'll bet that Canadians don't much give a diddly
darn about all the Ugly Americans beeping around their
bushes down here! :-)


Heh!
