No, you most certainly did not. ?You made a boast over seven years back

It was not manufactured at all and was certainly not taken out of
context. ?That you now find it embarrassing is the issue.

I find it difficult to accept your claim as factual.

Everyone who becomes a radio amateur has a finite time in which to
participate.

I don't recall a single Morse-tested Extra class licensee ever saying
that the Amateur Extra was a mark of genius.

Many told you so. ?You usually dismissed them. ?You were told the same
about learning Morse code.

Dave, how's that run for the Roanoke Division Director coming?

Instead of becoming Division Manager "Right Out Of The Box," you might
want to try being a Section Manager first, and work your way up the
ladder. ?I understand that your Section, West Virginia, will be having
a run-off soon, so you might as well start now. ?After all, you have a
finite time for eligibility and in which to participate. ?All it takes
is some attention-focused work.

Best of Luck

Tsk, tsk, Brian, that would be a step DOWN for the great
David Heil! :-)

Darn, I should have made a note of the DATE at which he
started campaigning for Manager. Could have come back
years later about his BOASTING on getting elected! :-)

Heil made the announcement on September 7, 2006.

In another declaration, Heil said that people who cannot spell should
not hold a position of leadership.

Shortly thereafter, I noted spelling errors in a Heil posting and made
note of it.

Which is worse, making spelling errors, or working out-of-band
Frenchmen on Six Meters?

Apparently, Heil thinks it's the former. I think it's the latter. In
any case, Heil did both.

His run for the Roanoke Division Directorship is doomed.
