I was on HF and communicating
before any of the regulars in here and I didn't have to use any
morse code at all.

Im sure your right, CB or 11 Meters is considered HF.

He's so fulla **** the whites of his eyes gotta be brown.

Incorrect. They are blue.

That has to be an interesting look you've got there, Leonard. What
color are the pupils?

He's been swallowing his blue Listerine. Prolly by the gallon. He
hasn't read the label yet.

I don't do what you do, Kellie.

I for one
was on the HF ham bands in 1951 *with CW* from W3CGS before I got my
Novice ticket.

Then you were BOOTLEGGING, old man. ILLEGAL. Tsk, tsk.

I think we may see another gap in your knowledge looming.

Dontcha love it? The average nocoode can see it a mile away. But not
our Putz, yes sir, he knows *everything*.

In 1951 you were all of 14 years old (after 5 March). I'm sure you
didn't have the maturity of an adult...certainly not from your tale of
later leaving your "hormonal" date on her front porch to go off and
play with your radio now that you finally got a REAL license.

The only "HF experience" he had in that timeframe was
as a grunt U.S. Army apprentice RTTY equipment mechanic & babysitter
1952-53.

Incorrect AGAIN!

Microwave Radio Relay Operation and Maintenance Supervisor, (then)
MOS 281.6. Temporarily doing Fixed Station Transmitters operation
and maintenance (supervisor) 1953 to 1956 at US Army radio station
ADA in Tokyo, Japan. 43 transmitters on HF ranging from 1 KW
(BC-339) to 40 KW (AN/FRC-22)...working to Seoul, Pusan,
Okinawa, Manila, Saigon, Anchorage, Seattle, Hawaii, San Francisco
on a 24/7 schedule. Not a single circuit used any morse code.

I know you just forgot to mention, "Fifty years ago..."

In 1952 I was in Basic Training and at the Signal School in Fort
Monmouth, NJ.

...and a year later you were an expert.

Zzzzzzz . . .

Poor old man...put you to sleep again, did we? Tsk, tsk, tsk.

You are getting on in years, now at 66.

You've never worked REAL HF communications, old man. You pretend
you have playing with your HF radio in an AMATEUR band.

Now go take a rest and when you wake up, do some number exercises.
Carefully go through the one that says "26 does NOT equal 1."
Not in patents, not in anything.

With regards,
