You have something in common. ?Despite your boast of seven years ago,
there is no one listed by the name of Leonard H. Anderson with an
Amateur Extra.
� �Tsk, tsk. �I've never "boasted" about being an amateur extra.
How could you? �You aren't an Amateur Extra.

What an absolutely BRILLIANT deduction! You must have
an IQ of at least 73, yes?

Unlike Colonel Morgan, I've never stated my IQ. I made no deduction. I
stated a fact.

� �I've always said I don't have an amateur radio license. �
That's probably a good idea, since it happens to be true.

How do you KNOW that? Have you looked through all
the old callbooks? :-)

I have many of them. We can skip the ones prior to your birth. If you
care to pay me to research them, I may be able to accommodate you.
Rates available on request.

Did I mention anything about CORES being exclusively for radio amateurs,
Len?

Is your name 'Stefan Wolfe?' :-)

You didn't respond to "Stefan Wolfe", you responded to my post.

� �Haven't you been able to understand that in SEVEN YEARS?
You didn't tell me anything new, Len. �There has been no "Extra right
out of the box" for you despite your bragging of SEVEN YEARS ago.

"Bragging?!?" :-)

Foolish bragging.

Oh, my, you really want to persist in your little emotional-
baggage game, don't you? :-)

I've made a factual statement.

Tsk, all you are doing is taking up message storage space
with that, senior. Waste of Google resources.

Are you in charge of Google resource conservation, Len? Did you appoint
yourself Google advocate of something-or-other?

I don't think there is a r.r.a.p. poster who has used more of Google
resources than you. Your long, pontificating posts are notorious.

� �Tsk, tsk, tsk. �Must be the terrible sound of all that organ
� �grinding you dance to...
I don't hear organ music and I don't feel like dancing, Len.

That must be why your romance with Cranky Spanky
is coming to an end.

That's the second romance posting you've made, Foghorn. In the first,
you waffled over the meaning of a word but you made a romance statement
later in your post.

Well, it's better to have loved once
than not at all.

What do you mean by your comment?

Still paying alimony to the first wife?

What do you mean, "still"?

You're still just a sidewalk superintendent.

Nope. Don't work for the city or the utilities here.

Most of the sidewalk superintendents I've encountered in the flesh or in
literature have not been employed by cities or utilities. In fact, most
haven't been employed at all. They are men with lots and lots of spare
time. Major Hoople comes to mind.

I've only been in the BIGGER world of radio of OTHER
civil radio services for half a century.

That's truly wonderful, Len. I'm very happy for you. You've never been
a radio amateur though. You aren't involved in amateur radio. You're a
spectator.

You ever use an
aircraft radio while at the controls on your own time?

Why? Have I written posts which deal with the operation of aircraft radio?

You ever use a maritime radio on board while it was
afloat...on your own time?

Why? Have I ever written of using maritime radio equipment?

Poor baby.

That's an odd comment. I haven't provided you a response to your
queries and I haven't written on those topics. I'm not attempting to
influence the regulations governing aircraft or maritime radio
operation. I'm not standing on the sidelines of either activity giving
"pointers".

All I've been advocating in here was the
END of the code test.

No, Len, that is by no means what you have done in r.r.a.p.

And it WILL happen! Sunnuvagun!

Yes, it will.

No "bragging" there. The FCC announced it.

I remember reading it.

And here you are with jackboots dancing on the
cobblestones looking to start Krystallnacht II.

I'm not wearing any jackboots, Len. I don't own any. I wonder at your
continual use of Nazi analogies. You usually do so when you're running
on empty.

Poor
guy, must be frustrating as hell for you to have to
take so much.

Take so much what, Leonard?

I feel your pain.

Yeah, I'm really suffering, Len. I just renewed my Amateur Extra for
another ten year period. It's now good until I'm 67. I have a
comfortable, well equipped hamshack and an operating position loaded
with equipment. There are lots of antennas on a hilltop in a quiet,
rural setting. I'm able to use any amateur frequency authorized by the
FCC. Oh, the agony!
