Not in the Army...in civilian life...to satisfy personnel
departments with "credentials" while I had already done
the responsible design engineering. :-(

Herr Robust made some crack about "how many did I destroy?"

I don't recall asking anything about how many credentials or personnel
departments you destroyed, Windy. :-)

Ya know, He NEVER said anything about His military service
that could be pinned down to something substantial.

No, I don't believe I ever did. Now what?

I think
he's just one of those fakers who IMPLY things and then bluff
out on some (bogus) claims of "post traumatic stress."

I've never made any claims of military heroics. I've never claimed to
be a victim of "post traumatic stress". It bugs you that you don't
know. I take delight in that.


Ahem, minus one year during your tour in Vietnam. Remember, no ham
radio for you...

We really don't know how long he was there. [Robesin syndrome?]
Yikes! I hadn't considered that.

He's a smoothie on "convincing" folks. Turns right around
and becomes snarly when someone argues the opposite of what
he's declared. Otherwise, same-o, same-o.

I've not made much of an attempt to convince you of anything regarding
my military service, Len. You've said that you've not denigrated your
fellow military veterans. The facts show that you have.

Wonder why he selected Minnesota for a suffix?

That's an "in memoriam" Vanity callsign to honor his Elmer.

You still have it wrong. My call was not issued under the vanity
callsign program. I've had it for thirty years now.



Words on the VEC QP say "it's a good idea for resolving inter-
ference complaints." I don't know how that can "resolve" them
since it would be kept by the person allegedly doing the RFI.

as opposed to the word of the person complaining of RFI.

Such wouldn't stand up in court.

I think you're wrong on that, Leonard. Such things as a memorandum of
conversation or a carefull kept record of events can be used in court.

But, lots of hams like to act
like "pros" at broadcast stations, so they keep logs.

It has nothing to do with broadcast stations or acting like "pros", Len.
For decades, amateur radio operators were required by the FCC to
maintain logs. There is nothing keeping radio amateurs from maintaining
logs. They serve as a record of events for awards tracking, for
tracking propagation, for nostalgia and as a memorandum of
times/dates/frequencies used.

Last time
I did any broadcasting, the only thing noted in logs was when a
station was OFF the air beyond its normal, announced hours.

That's nice.


On the same web site he's got a picture of a small bottle of
Finnish vodka. Swedes label the "hard" spirits 'brannvin,'
literally translates as 'burn wine.'

Except it isn't Swedish vodka. It's there because the vodka's label
says "Strong 59".

From the same pictures Heil appears to be a lefty, in one of
them twiddling a bug's paddles with the left, a package of
Marlboros at the ready by his right hand.

I'm a left hander in some things, a right hander in others. I can use a
keyer paddle with either hand.


My Heil Sound ProSetPlus is made (somewhat) in a
suburb of Chicago, IL.

I don't know about that.

Heh heh heh...I was testing Heil again to see if he was paying
attention. :-)

Sure you were, "Anderson". :-) :-)


Fairview Heights, IL, is just a few miles east of the Big Muddy
and East Saint Louis, IL.

....but you thought it was near Chicago.

Note that I did NOT say where the LDG autotuner was made. Tsk,
I should have been given a "reminder" by know-it-all morsemen
on that! :-)

NOT saying likely saved you from another factual error.
