That explains why you were able to work "multiple states." You have, what, six of them within 100 miles? Try that in any state west of the Appalachins." No, central New Jersey. Dhuh! which is close for the point to be valid "Whiny old timer, out of touch with reality, loss of memory of old time ham radio, ****ed because of Incentive Licensing, lets other people determine his enjoyment of a hobby, still hanging around the amateur radio newsgroups despite being unlicensed for nearly a quarter century." No Mr. Dork, I simply lost interest in ham radio when it became infested with clueless CB types who only hold ham tickets because they crammed their way through the licensing exams. When store purchased commercial rigs appeared, the ham bands became cluttered with these types to the extent that one QSO after another led to nothing but uninformed, mindless blathering as it remains today. Hmm you lost interest but you are HERE engaging in debate over it However, I am forever grateful to my ham radio experience because it led the way for me to obtain my First Class Commercial ticket, my job as chief engineer of a Trenton, NJ radio station, and ultimately paid for my BS level college education at Drexel University. The knowledge acquired though my ham activities also qualified me for a coop job as a transmitter designer at Barker & Williamson (the B&W 5100 xmtr was one of my projects and later the Army's T368 transmitter.) My ham radio and educational background ultimately led me to a 15+ year career with Raytheon developing military electronics. When active as a ham, the majority of my time was spent developing and perfecting ham TV rigs and TTY systems that represented the cutting edge technology of that time when the joy of building and operating a conventional CW, AM, or SSB rig became old hat. What saddens me most is the degree to which ham radio has become emasculated and rendered devoid of almost all technical value. Bitter, no. Saddened, yes! looks like one the fellas still ****ed over Incentive licensing and blaming those who just followed the rules laid down for getting their licenses for the rulst of the ARRL's games back then, some several decades ago wlaks like a duck quacks like a duck, it likely is a duck, or in this case an Bitter Old Timer Harry C. See what I mean Harry C. This guy here is the resident antagonizer. He argues with everyone about everything. And knows basically NOTHING. realy I thought that was Stevie's job and you claim anyone that disagrees with you knows nothing BTW I don't argue with everyone, let alone about everything You OTOH say you will agree to discuss something only after everyone agrees to agree with you, in advance Dan/W4NTI Not at all. I just consider you a complete fool and chose not to waste my time debating such an ignorant goof as you. gee that isn't waht you said last week, but then I don't realy expect folks like you to keep theire stories straight, even from post to post Dan/W4NTI |
