The earth-to-moon distance is approximately 250,000 miles. Both Len
and I agree on that.


YOU agree with ME? Mais non! Impossi-blee!

Heavens, I ALWAYS have those "factual errors!" [that's what
you keep saying]

Twice per orbit, the earth-to-moon distance is exactly 250,000 miles.


Wow! Ain't you the astro-fizzizist!

And a 12-hour clock shows EXACTLY the same time every
day! Wow! A truly wonderful factoid! NOT. :-)

The Technician class is *not* now bigger
than all other US license classes combined.
And if present trends continue, it never will be.


At an average rate of 36/day increase through the no-code
Tech entry versus an average 78/day DECREASE through
expirations, just give it a little time, oh ****y pedantic
one. :-)

You really and honestly "think" that there will be ANY
significant "reduction" of the no-code-test Techs by
23 February 2007? If you do, then you are a hopeless
romantic of days long gone by.

So, how many no-code-test Techs were there in 1990,
just 17 years ago? Any? And they caused the Techs
to increase to a tiny fraction short of "exactly" 50% of
ALL licensees? In just a dozen-plus years? Wow,
you've really got your head in the sand! (or up your
A-soul or someone else's...)

And you want to argue and argue and argue and ball
your fists up and cry about no-code-test Techs "NOT"
of any consequence? Go right ahead...you've been
trying to "prove" that for years. That's your fantasy.

Why don't you get OFF your computer and ON your
Elecraft and "work DX on HF with CW" like a good
little hamme of olde tymes?
