You KNOW all elmers personally, right? Why don't YOU continue to alienate
and denigrate all the others who have been on HF much longer than you, who
have worked HF comm 24/7 longer than you've been alive? Since you aren't
out getting ready for emergency work on Isabel, why don't you start a
petition for an RM with the FCC to make the 'ARS' the Archaic
RadioTELEGRAPHY Service.

What in the world are you talking about, Len?

The Archaic Radiotelegraphy Service, better known as the "ARS."

You are such an important "EMA" or whatever during a major
hurricane and you are playing in the newsgroup?


BTW, thanks for mentioning Isabel. We *have* been working very hard
tracking her and making preliminary preparations for a possible evacuation.

You are now in NOAA?

Good grief, there's no end to the stories you make up.

Fortunately, we didn't have to implement them this time around.

Why don't you PRACTICE?

Keep up those morse skills. Be ready to deflect the hurricanes with
rapid-fire 20 WPM code! Save lives and property by being radio
amateurs! Get mentioned in the ARRL newsletter.

And get forgotten by the major press even now IN the path of Isabel
reporting and using newfangled communications equipment called
"portable television" and "satellite communications."

But thanks for caring about my job. It's touching, really.

I care less what you do.

You've made so much BS in here about your professional amateurism
that there's no believing what you say. I doubt you were ever an Army
civilian doing criminal investigation.

By all means, keep up with the Living Museum of Morse and Radio-
telegraphy.

It must please you greatly to keep the ARS DUMBED DOWN at the
standards and practices of 70 years ago.
