I wish you guys would start choosing your words more carefully. You'll
have Mark accusing both of you of promoting *reap*.

Count for what, Len?

What do you think it should count for, when the subject is amateur
radio?

Welp, according to Heil, he was able to bypass military comms training
as he held an amateur license. He was DDA.

You continue to misquote me. My amateur radio license gave me the
knowledge to pass the Bypassed Specialist exams. Passing the exams
allowed me to bypass tech school.

Amateur radio is the only way to get *amateur radio* experience,
Len.

You've got plenty of that, Jim. Probably more than a 4 year old
Extra.

You're right, Brian. Jim has forty years of amateur radio experience.
Len has a few weeks at best.

Do you think you know more about amateur radio than someone who has
been an active radio amateur for several decades?

What's to know? Please start a list.

You've held a license for at least a couple of decades. Shouldn't you
have an inkling by now?

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.

What do you mean "as well?" Do you know someone who is running for an
ARRL elected position?

I suspect that you are jealous of K8MN, Len.

He's merely annoying. He knows everything - just ask him.

I will. Len, do you know everything?

Let's see...you bought some manufactured equipment,
put together a basic station, and made a few contacts
using voice modes like SSB and FM. How "revolutionary"
is that?

He did it on HF without a single morse code exam.

Vive le revolucion!

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.

I can't see how that works, Brian. Len is a guy who became a brand new
radio amateur a few weeks ago.
