Well, I'll be pulling my Hallicrafters HA-1 TO

keyer out of the attic.

Ain't much slang at 40 words per minute cw :)

Which is legal anywhere in the ham bands

(with the appropriate license) other than 60

meters. :))

And the am kilowatt stations never could

bother my 75 watts on cw then, and they

couldn't touch 100 watts of cw now. :)))

They tried - and failed.

Chances are those who tried were nocodes. Upper classmen in the hammie
field KNOW they can't touch it and wouldn't try something
so.....nocode-ish.

Can you write anything intelligent?

Anything logical?

Even anything which can ****-off a real man, stop your "girly-man"
moanings, are you having an orgasm?

That's the problem with some of you nocodes..some of you all think you
earned something and have some sort of weird assed entitlement..


you and Steveo are probably out... sorry... CB

is good enough though, keep a stiff upper lip

son... grin


CB -is- good enough. Heck, it gives us almost as much fun as watching
you call yourself a mother.

Hello, Twist

Actually, the guy who tried and failed was a known troublemaker and was a
class A operator. This was back in the 60s and he had an advanced ticket
that may have no longer been issued. They did have extra classes then, but
no one paid attention to it. Once you had the general, you had everything.

When they were going to implement "incentive licensing", I went for my extra
and, as long as I had to be at the FCC, I obtained my telegraph ticket too.

Not a big deal about cw. If one likes it, great; if not, so be it. But it
is so much fun to get into these threads :)))

I love the way you say something in a nice way that gets some folks panties
all knotted up - then you go fishing for a weekend (or a week) whilst the
group flames away.

Dang, I've gotta buy some stock in blood pressure medication when you send
some notes. It is funny. Just like Mike got so hot about me enjoying
communicating, some folks just can't stand the fact that you remain in the
newsgroup.

All together now, "AKC does *not* own anything".

Hey, how's the price of gas down in your neck of the woods? Has Bush gotten
it back down to $1.25 per gallon? Or have the "red" states suffered along
with the "blue"?

I was wrong about Bush in one respect. It irritated me that the only plane
allowed to fly out of this country immediately after 911 was relatives of
Bin Laden. I *almost* thought the way Farenheit 911 was portraying it, but
then managed to think.

If you or I were president at that time and we imported 80% of all our oil
and Saudi Arabia supplied most of the oil .... what would we do? Most
likely just what Bush did. They have us by the unmentionables.

We've got them right where they want us.

Better give more tax breaks on the SUVs. Better include yachts over 33
meters in length too.

What, me worry?

Yeah, I heard that. Senator Clinton should try and fix New York. I've news
for ya. We've a *republican* governor and Clinton was elected to represent
us in Washington, not in New York. There is a New York Senate. She in not
in the NY Senate. She is a New York Congressman (uh, person?) in
*Washington*.

Of course, facts never bother the religious right.

Don't confuse me with facts LOL.

Excuse me whilst I get a second beer. I limit myself to 3 beers per day,
maximum. I have to shut down as those dang quarter kegs are a pain to move
around in the house :)))

At my college, the "flames" here wouldn't even make a pimple on a good

Not to be confused with the actual A$$'s here, however.

I was running around 50 words per minute when I hung up my guns around 1969.
In 1993, I simply retested with no brush up. Hadn't copied cw since 1969
yet passed 20 words per minute ;)

I agree. Also, the tester said they use the ARRL practice tapes for the exam. So
if you have the tapes, and you can learn the alphabet, you can pick up fairly
quickly which if the practice codes they use. That is what I did. I studied
every night for a month.

They should require CW for CW privilages, at the 13 WPM.

Now there ya go!!!

Don't let those dern buggers CW unless they know how!!!

In fact, we should make'em pass an IQ test before we let them CW!

John,

I'd have no problem with an IQ test. I'm nowhere near 100. Not even close.

Heaven forbid there were to be a sanity test. I'd automatically disqualify
everyone in the newsgroups (*especially* myself)!!! :)))
