But what's really relevant is what a person has done in amateur radio. I've
been an active, licensed radio amateur for almost 36 years - operating,
building stations, writing articles, elmering, etc. You wrote a few basic
articles for a now-defunct amateur radio periodical and have never held any
class of amateur radio license.

Oooooo...! Was that supposed to "hurt" big fella? :-)

Does the truth hurt you, Len?

I got a COMMERCIAL Radiotelephone license in 1956 (only one test
needed) and had a career in radio-electronics design since then. You
will no doubt have to say such is "irrelevant" for lots of reasons.

Not at all.

Please explain how that license and career have any relevance to amateur radio
policy. Particularly since you have never held any class of amateur radio
license.

You don't want to admit your occupation's firm name or what it does,

Because it's not relevant. And because I know you'll simply make fun of it.

so you try to denigrate all those who aren't afraid of naming where
they worked or where they worked or what they did at work in detail.

Who do I "denigrate", Len?

It's a plain and simple fact that no matter who my employers are/were, you'd
make fun of my job if you knew what it was. Your behavior towards others here
who disagree with you is clear proof of that.

You want to diminish the efforts of Ham Radio Magazine founders
Skip Tenney and Jim Fisk and their TWENTY TWO YEARS of
successful, INDEPENDENT newsstand publications.

Where do I diminish their efforts, Len? They had a good mag but it ceased
publication more than a decade ago. It's defunct.

Why?

Why do you get so upset over the word "defunct"?

Tenney
is a radio amateur. Fisk is deceased and his old call (W1HR) is now
used by a club in Jim Fisk's honor. You keep wanting to say HR is
"defunct" as if that is somehow unclean.

How is "defunct" unclean?

You weren't published in HR,

So? You weren't published in QST.

You got as far as "Electric
Radio," a non-newsstand periodical for a special interest group in
old radio.

Also QST.

Did you ever write for Electronics magazine (McGraw-Hill's
old biweekly)? I did. Did you ever write for BYTE? I did. I've written
for Microcomputing and Call-A.P.P.L.E. about more avoactional
and recreational activities concerning electronics.

Aren't all those magazines also defunct? I haven't seen a copy of any of them
in years.

You live in the past too much, Len.
