Somebody else writes your posts here?
You wrote that you obtained an Extra out of the box, but you keeping
trying to skip over the word "right". You used it when you told us that
you were going for an "Extra right out the box."
Tsk. The phrase "Extra [right] Out Of The Box" is a colloquial
amateur radio one referring to one who takes and passes ALL
test elements in one exam session. It was used BEFORE the
2000 US amateur radio Restructuring.
I've not claimed to be a barrister, Foghorn.
You sure ACT like you were one...complete with the powdered
wig and black robes.
I've omitted much about my time in the Air Force.
You probably SHOULD. You don't want to talk about it, so
you must not have done anything significant.
It can't have been mentioned by me. I'd have pointed out that the Air
Force doesn't use the term "MOS". It uses the term "AFSC" for Air Force
Specialty Code.
You are out of order in this court, counselor. What did you
DO in the USAF? Explain it in words. Don't be EVASIVE by
misdirecting into trivial chewing out about using "wrong"
USAF titles of occupation specialties.
Did Heil operate ANY radio (other than a BC receiver) while "in
a country at war?"
I surely did, Len, but not 24/7. I maxed out at ten hours per day, six
days per week.
Poor baby. Was the service rough on you?
In the US Army all are soldiers...those not on authorized leave
are ON DUTY 24/7.
During the Vietanm War only two transceiver types made up the
vast bulk of communications. I've not seen Heil mention either
one of them, despite an eighth of a million of those two types
made and operational.
I used no low power, tinker toy radio equipment during my time in the
military.
Oh, my, the ELITIST speaks! All of the US military branches
don't consider operational radio communications equipment as
"low power, tinker toy." Certainly not for REAL COMBAT
operations involving real Life and Death situations.
You are being EVASIVE again. You've NOT described what you DID
over 35 years ago "in a country at war." You've NOT described
ANY radio equipment you (supposedly) USED over 35 years ago "in
a country at war."
Tsk, you are coming across as a clone, a carbon copy of the
infamous "Major Dud" Robeson. Like he did, YOU are evasive on
details but very BIG on lofty, general-purpose emotional
phrases. Do you also hold a "commission" in the Civil Air
Patrol?
I can supply very exact DETAILS of what I did for 3 years of
my active-duty US Army assignment, pictures and text. See it at:
http://sujan.hallikainen.org/Broadca...s/My3Years.pdf
Was that "amateur radio" operations? No. It was HF transmitter
operations 24/7 in a direct service for the Far East Command
Headquarters and Army Central Command, Japan. The radio
technology and radio wave propagation was the SAME as was then
used for US amateur radio (with the exception of RF power output
levels being higher than allowed for amateurs). "Boatanchor"
radio equipment afficionados in US amateur radio use the SAME
techniques TODAY. Another exception to amaetur practice is that
messaging was done by teleprinter (now called "data") and morse
code mode was NOT used for all those hundreds of thousands of
messages sent per month. Morse mode just wasn't up to the task.
Not only that but the communications involved operation and
maintenance of VHF, UHF, microwave radio relay equipment as well
as frequency-multiplexed "carrier" equipment for both wired and
radio service. In addition we in the US Army Signal Corps also
had to use standard small-unit radio communications equipment
[PRC-8 family manpack FM transceivers, PRC-6 handheld FM
transceivers] when undergoing Provisional Infantry Platoon
training in addition to our regular Signal Corps occupational
tasks. That was in a country NOT at war (Japan) although the
United States of America was IN a war in Korea 55 years ago.
For the USA, the "Vietnam War" ended in 1973. 1973 was 34
years ago. The Korean War is still not settled and remains
in a curious continuous Truce condition today...US troops
are still stationed in Korea along the Demilitarized Zone.
During your Department of State employ help END that Korean
War? That hasn't been in the news.
I can't take any credit for BIG national-level policy things.
I volunteered, did my duties as assigned, performed honorably
and am proud to have done so. I did my part, yet a number of
you Elitists of Amateur Radio continue to scoff and sneer at
what I and others did in REAL Radio Communications...and then
expect to be treated as some kind of "royalty" or "gurus" of
"decades of experience" in (amateur) radio.
I KNOW what I did and can talk about it in detail. There is
very little of that bound by any US National Security
requirements. Yet, a number of Amateur ELITISTS in here have
been Unable to supply any Details of what they did. They are
remarkably Ambiguous in their most-general non-descriptions,
relying only on emotional catch-phrases of "importance" AS IF
that was DUE to them.
Please continue as a Robeson Clone. He seems to be gone and
his continuing snarling and denigrating has left a big hole
in message content of this newsgroup.
