Then, why the opening remarks then and now, with this post, about how long
Carl was a Tech and his alledged comments on CW? Why enter that into your
remarks at all, Dave, if not to cast attention to that? If you are casting
attention to that, then why?

Dave has a problem with the old Techs, the Tech Plusses, and
presumably the Techs with Code.

I didn't address those you mention. I addressed Carl.

Exactly. You continued to address Carl as if he were a Tech. Which
he is not.

No, I continued to address Carl as a churl, which he is.

Which is how you address Techs.

That's another incorrect claim you've made.

Prove it.

Au contraire, mon petit electrolyte, you need to prove that your claim
is correct.

They aren't 13wpm hams. They aren't
worthy to share his band space.

No, they haven't been tested at 13 wpm or at 20 wpm. I didn't address
that issue.

Oh, my. Oh, dear. You merely addressed Carl's tenure on the
Technician band space.

I didn't address space at all. I addressed Carl's sitting on an old
Tech ticket for 2 1/2 decades until the requirements were lowered.

Ding, ding, ding. The bell on my M28 rings each time you bring that up.

Then you need to check your wiring.

For what?

A faulty dinger.

Now that Carl can share Dave's band space...

Carl may share some space with me.

Carl can share any space with you that he wishes. That is what the
FCC mean's by issuing him an Extra license. Get used to it. Naw,
nevermind.

Carl may share some space.

May share all space.

He may and he may not.

Take it up with his hairdresser. The FCC says he may share all space,
and thats good enough for me.

Please quote that "may share space" FCC document.
He's allocated the same frequencies. He may or may not share the same
space.

While the FCC permits Carl the same access
as I hold, no amount of wishing on his part will make it likely that
Carl will share space with me in some areas of the bands. If such did
come to pass, he likely wouldn't recognize that fact.

Nor would you.

Sure I would, Brian.

How is that?

That is one for the little electrolyte to ponder. Go to it!

You treat him as if he were still a Tech.

No, I treat him as if he were still a churl.

A Tech.

No, I treat him as if he were still a churl.

There are plenty of areas on a
number of bands where I doubt I'll run into Carl. Come to think of it,
I doubt I'll run into you in those spots.

Duh! I don't have Extra priv's, Oh Master of Amateur Radio!!!

Duh, indeed! I don't operate only in Extra Class band segments but I do
use morse about 50% of the time. I'm banking on not running into you.

I don't need West Virginia.

So your reason for not using morse is that you don't need West Virginia?
That's some interesting logic.

No, I'd prefer not to work you on any mode, including CW.

Why didn't you write that instead of leading us to believe that the
reason was that you don't "need" West Virginia?

Go work some Frenchmen on 6M. I've heard they've got all kinds of
priveleges!!!

French hams fall under the jurisdiction of the French PTT.

Indeed they do.

You understand that now? You seemed to have trouble with it in the
past.

None whatsoever. But it takes two amateurs to make a circuit.

It certainly does. Two Frenchmen working each under fall under the
jurisdiction of the French PTT. A station in France working a station
in Tanzania is quite the different story. If the Frenchman breaks his
regs, it is up to the French authorities to discipline him. Maybe
they've contracted the job to some fellow in Ohio.

I don't tell
them where they can operate and neither does the FCC.

Nor does the government of Tanzania.

Nor does the CEO of Nabisco. Has there been a problem in the past with
those pesky Tanzanians issuing notices to scofflaw French hams?

Did Nabisco issue any?

Did Tanzania? Did France?

And I never classified Tanzanian Officials as "pesky."

No, you didn't. I used that term in sarcastic response to your
misdirection.

They are
responsible for the operation of their stations and I am responsible
only for the operation of mine.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

I gather from some of the things you've written that you've got 'em and
that you're smoking 'em.

I'd have to be to intentionally work bootleggers.

Why are you intentionally working bootleggers?
