As if you cared, I happen to be fairly technical. I have a BSEE and have
been in the electromagnetic wave business for quite some time.

My argument is with the age old view that amateur radio is just for
"gentlemen." This stance implies two biases. The first is that all
participants must be male. I will leave this by itself. The second is that
all participants must have keen technical prowess and a VAST memory store of
useless facts. Today's technology opens the hobby up to people from all
walks of life and technical ability. This is a win-win situation if ever I
saw one.

More aptly put, amateur radio is a technically-based hobby and public
service that is open to anyone who has been qualified.

You wouldn't understand, Wayne, as you are neither technical nor a
gentleman.

Kindly go back to CB where you came from.

Like a UK BSc in Engineering.

Batchelor of Science Electronic Engineering, as I recall.

Oh, he is probably as jealous of them as he is of UK ones.

This NG is an international public forum
wherein one expects to see technical excellence.

It should be a place for enlightenment
and reasoned technical discussion. It
certainly used to be like that.

For some reason, best known only to
yourself, you have chosen to turn it into
an outpost of the infants' school
playground using behaviour and emotional
stances left behind years ago by mature contributors.

Such an exhibition by you does nothing for your
reputation, nor for the well-being of this NG.

Shame on you.

You should know better.

Stupid Boy.

The Yank Bachelor's degree is roughly equivalent to what the
Brit "A" Levels were 30 years ago. You need to get a Yank
Master's to get anywhere near the Brit Bachelor - except,
of course if we're talking about Open University because
in the early days you could do 6 unrelated elementary
subjects - one per year- and still get a degree.

Because of these early OU degrees, one has to consider
that _ALL_ OU degrees are the equivalent of 6 'O' levels,
and all of them in Cookery.

Gareth, isn't your real "problem" with these qualifications that you
don't actually have a degree yourself?

Did an audit of qualifications by one of your employers not find some
errors in a certain person's qualification records?

Did that same person not then try to do an Open University degree and
get disqualified when caught cheating in his examinations?

Probably equivalent to what used to be our 11-Plus.

Bush probably failed to get one.
