Has anyone doubted that, Len?

[yes, a few have, notably Heil who once said "you never did
that in your life!"]

Your statement is a falsehood, "Anderson". Your quote of me is
manufactured by you.

Is that an admission that you believe it?

Tsk, Brian, IF and only IF he does, it will truly be His
Resurrection!

Are you doing Eastertide funnies, Leonard?

And a couple of weeks as a licensed radio amateur. That makes you an
amateur radio neophyte, Len. A beginner, novice, newcomer, wet-behind-
the-ears tyro.Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Right. Are you running for ARRL office as well? Sure sounds like it.

Sigh. Another east coastie, warm and welcoming...but
demanding that I bow down in "respect" to their mighty
macho morsemanship and "years of national service" by
twiddling their paddles and beeping in the cause of
"homeland security."

I must have missed the demand that you bow down in respect or anything
else, Len. Where was that part. It is a fact that you're a brand new
amateur radio licensee.

What ****es Jimmie off is that I took and passed ALL
the test elements at one exam session...without asking
for His Permission, too!

I've seen no evidence that your claim is true. He's probably just noted
that you acted like a horse's patoot before you obtained an amateur
radio license and that you've carried that behavior into amateur radio.

"Extra out of the box!" Heil says I "didn't do it,"
yet I did. Sunnuvagun!

You can't have, Len. You announced it over seven years back and waited
for the regs to change before you took any amateur radio licensing
exams. That's not "right out" of anything. If someone tells me, "I'll
be right out", no one expects that to mean, "I'll be there in seven years."


Marie, I know you want to give cake to the peasants, but
don't lose your head in excoriating them...

? ?Are you one of the peasants, Len? You act more?
? ?like you are one of the arrogant nobility.?

Len, nobility? He's merely your peer... your equal.

ONLY in amateur radio, Brian...as far as all the privileges,
rank, status, etc., which must REALLY **** him off! :-)

You haven't had enough time in amateur radio to be equal to anyone but
another neophyte, Len.

Brian, like you, I've voluntarily served the US military;
Jimmie never did that.

....to your knowledge.

I've worked in radio-electronics
full-time since 1952; we don't know where Jimmie is
supposed to work or what it is he really does for a living.

It is apparent that not knowing bugs the hell out of you.

You have a good family and children and I have a good wife
who was my high school sweetheart; we don't know anything
about Jimmie's personal life except that he has a younger
brother "into radio."

It is also apparent that your lack of information on Jim's personal life
also bugs the hell out of you.

Is Jimmie Greater or Lesser than
any of us? We don't know enough about Him to compare.

It can be demonstrated that Jim has over 40 times as much experience in
amateur radio than you, Leonard. Chew on that for a while.

Jimmie PRETENDS to be a "Somebody."

I've never seen evidence that he is pretending anything, Len.

Like an "amateur radio
historian,"...

Jim seems very well versed in the history of amateur radio. He has been
able to point to a number of errors you've made in things which have
taken place in amateur radio. I've never seen a post where he refers to
himself as an "amateur radio historian".

...pretending to be the olde-tymer...

He's been a radio amateur for better than forty years. Here on Earth,
anyone who has done anything for forty years can be considered an old timer.

...all the while
cribbing from OTHER sources of ham radio history.

You've done some cribbing of your own, Leonard--and all about something
in which you were not a partcipant.

Jimmie
PRETENDS to be a real estate "expert" yet he has never dealt
up-close-and-personal with any real estate matters in my
city or neighborhood...yet he wants to imply He knows more
and is therefore the 'superior being' on that.

Jim's analogy of real estate zoning changes in your local area to your
attempts as an outsider to effect change in amateur radio licensing (all
the while insisting that it was not for your personal benefit) was an
apt one. You didn't like that one single bit.

Jimmie
PRETENDS to be a statistical archivist with his amateur radio
numbers posting...yet those numbers are the SAME as what the
ARRL posts plus his own commentary (7 years old) about the
"difference between Techs and Tech Plusses."

You say that Jim pretends, yet he has posted the data on a regular
basis. I can find no errors in the material he has submitted. You've
posted some numbers on an irregular basis. Were you PRETENDING to be a
statistical archivist?

I don't PRETEND anything.

Don't sell yourself short, "Lennie."

I have opinions and am not scared
to voice them.

It isn't about fear, Len. It should be about exercising restraint and
using civility. You just plain honk people off.

My work experience AND radio licensing is
public record if anyone cares to look for it...

....or if anyone cares.

...and I DO have
documented evidence to prove that (unlike The Robesin).

There is no one named "Robesin" who has posted here. If you mean Steve
Robeson, he hasn't submitted proof of his military service to you.
That's not the same as it not haven taken place. I've advised you
several times that there is a free site on which his Marine Corps
service is confirmed, this despite your statement that no such site
exists. Have you found it yet.

I have plenty of proof of my military service, but I'm not going to
submit it to you. You've squawked about that and you've insulted me
over my Vietnam service a number of times, that despite your claims that
you've never denigrated the military service of a fellow veteran.
You bleat something and proceed to exhibit behavior which is at odds
with your statements.

But, some of the olde-tyme morsemen want to PUT DOWN those
that don't share their lofty, god-given opinions.

I'm an old timer. I do not use Morse Code exclusively. I'm an amateur
radio operator. I PUT you DOWN because you continue to act like a
horse's ass.

They
don't take kindly to such folk and manage to pollute this
newsgroup with their "I am better than you" bragging.

No one here has done more "I am better than you" bragging, than Leonard
H. Anderson, a man who, up until a few weeks back, was not an amateur
radio op. There are bigger newsgroup polluters, but none can match your
word output.

I
didn't decide to get into amateur radio on Their terms and
wouldn't want to personally associate with such narrow-
minded, arrogant persons.

You really showed everyone. You put off entry into amateur radio for
decades (in terms of your declared interest) and by eleven years (in
terms of r.r.a.p. participation).

Amateur radio is, to me, much
more than morsemanship...

It'd have to be. You can't handle the use of Morse.

...and something to enjoy by itself...

So who is stopping you from enjoying it. Are you enjoying amateur radio?

...not a vehicle for morsepersons to engage in self-
aggrandizement.

No one here has done more self-promotion than Leonard H. Anderson.

73s, Len AF6AY

The term is "73", Len.
