A good question, Carl. I've always wondered exactly what your alleged
technical competence has to do with ANY discussion in this NG! After
all, this is about AMATEUR radio!

Larrah, it's just too bad that US amateur radio doesn't have a book,
"Radio for Dummies" that you could read to find out what radio, ANY
radio IS...you NEED one.

"Radio" is a general activity involving technology in and about radio
communication.

Radios do NOT work "differently" because some regulating agency
states one radio activity is "amateur" and another radio activity is
"commercial/professional." Electrons, fields and waves work the SAME
in ANY radio regardless of human legislation.

You can't understand that. I wonder why?

Lennie:

I understand it just fine, thank you. However, my "understanding" will
never measure up to your standards, so I will just have to live with that.
Too bad you can't!

Larrah, you don't even measure up to YOUR standards... :-)

Maybe its because you can't distinguish one active from another...like
all your bragging about "summa cum laude human resources graduate"
and then you get a BUS DRIVER job.

Well, find me an entry-level Personnel Officer job in Kent County, DE with
the same pay and benefits as my present job, and I'll take it! BTW, I
applied
for one in my own company last year, but it went to, of all people, one of my
own classmates, a very fine, sexy-looking YL! She did NOT graduate
with any kind of honors, since she took her program part-time and took over
7 years to get her degree, whereas I did mine on a full-time basis in 2.5
years. But I don't look as good in a cubicle as she does!

No problem, we've never expected anything but the usual Roll
Rationalizations.

You are keeping up the usual level of Roll misogyny. Some things
never change.

While I freely admit that I do have a
great deal of respect for hams who do possess genuine, professional-
grade technical qualifications, you, and your apologists Floyd Davidson
and Len Anderson, tend to raise the noise level to BPL standards!

Poor baby...still miffed at no one recognizing your intrinsic Greatness?

I hadn't noticed that anyone isn't recognizing it, Lennie.

No one HAS recognized your greatness. It isn't there.

But you keep insisting you have it.

Beeperitis.

I am a BUS DRIVER, remember?

Strange...you keep insisting you are a "paratransit specialist."

Which is it?

My knowledge of communications is
limited to what I've done in AMATEUR radio, and the use of my 800 MHz
voice/data comm system in my bus.

You've been licensed as an AMATEUR how long? And you've never
bothered to find out about radio technology since you became an
extra something-or-other?

Are you LAZY?

Lennie, you're obviously in need of new reading glasses. I've never claimed
to be anything but an average ham with average, AMATEUR-level
technical skills.

Tsk, tsk, tsk...how quickly they forget. You claimed to be in the "upper
percentile of amateur radio." :-)

I would classify you as little more than an ego-driven salesman type
who does CB-like radio activity with a federal license grant.

Aren't you supposed to be in the national pool of "trained
communicators" for the nation's benefit and "advancing the state
of the art" of AMATEURISM?

I liked it better when you were just a Soma Come Loud student who
could get any human resources job he wanted after graduation.
