Does it also tell you how to avoid catching malaria, bilharzia, TB,
meningitis, cholera, E coli and salmonella infections ... all of which
are endemic in HI. (Not to mention one of the highest rates of HIV
infection in the Western world.)


Probably not, Walter. Does the RSGB's web site tell you how
to keep from getting mugged in London ?

I beg to difffer on the G#XXX/HI9 method of station identification as
pointed out in the licence info. The IARU (ITU) now specifiy that the
country identifier go at the first of the call.....not at the last. This is
not just for us CW ops, it's 'da law'.

Otherwise a good site. Walt is afraid of the dreaded diseases, try Asia
mate. We make HI look TAME!

The IAR Who ?

May be "the law" in beautiful 9V1 land, but the FCC makes the only
laws we worry about over here...

Yes, we have noticed that the USA increasingly makes its own laws and
disregards all international agreements. It used to be only countries
like China, North Korea and Albania that behaved like that ... but not
any more.


Stop jumping the fence, Walter. First you beat up the RSGB (a radio
club) and then you approve of the IAR Who (another radio club), run by
the same guys who run another radio club you don't approve of....

There is no deep, global, political motive behind the fact that my
license was issued by the FCC and IARU "rules" don't apply.

For that matter, IARU rules don't apply to anybody, anywhere. The
IARU has no enforcement power, so it's asinine for them to even
make "rules". Not to mention that if they can't find anything more
important to do than worry about a portable prefix being used on the
front or the rear of a amateur call sign, they should close up shop
because they're as useless as the RSGB and the ARRL put together.

PREFIX/CALLSIGN was invented by hams. Commonly known as the
HERO/ZERO phenomenon. Six ZERO's go to HERO island, and they're
so worried that if they sign ZERO/HERO nobody will listen long enuff
to hear the HERO part, so they invented HERO/ZERO.

Has nothing to do with the IAR Who. It's just a byproduct of the
childish pecking order/post card game that we so dearly love to
play.

How about correcting the date on your computer...

My reference to the USA ignoring international agreements, as it
happens, was unconnected with ham radio. It related to far more
important matters than an old men's hobby.

O. I C. Then you should go post it in rec.radio.amateur.world.politics
maybe. I don't know about anybody else, but I never check this
newsgroup for important world political matters....

My comments were directed at our friend in 9V1 land who said the
IARU is now dictating proper use of portable prefixes. And then
you misdirected it as politics I guess. Oh well, Stuff Happens.

IARU provides guidance on what a " gentleman" ought to observe.
f ex:
In virtually all countries outside USA the bandplan is observed on the basis
of " gentlemens agreement "


PREFIX/CALLSIGN was invented by hams.


Nonsense.

Yeah, I know. That's why there are a hundred screaming meemies from
EU on 7.005 SSB during a contest :-)

That's right. They are responding to the USA stations on 7.205 who
are calling "CQ Contest 7005".

Hey, if I wanted to see a tennis match, I'd watch Kournikova play
Sharapova. Preferably in the shower.
