My point exactly. This is one of the reasons why the requirements to
be
licensed in the AMATEUR radio service do not require professional-level
RF engineering skills. Nevertheless, Carl seems to hold on to the
notion
that his being an RF engineer somehow grants him exalted status as an
AMATEUR radio operator. Why is that?

Could it be because he knows a lot about radio?

Alun:

Well, I'm sure Carl expects that his professional RF engineering
qualifications
should grant him exalted status in the ARS, but in truth, it just ain't
so!

Larry,

I don't expect "exalted status" ... just some respect as one who is arguably
more knowledgable and competent in RF technology than the average ham.

However, as has been pointed out, you insist that your superior CW skill
is ALL that counts and that since I'm not up to your standards in that area
I'm a "lesser ham."
