More Markie Bull****, the only thing you were working as in the
government was a janitor!


janitors at the NSA have clearance.

they probably get paid well.


Of all the techie things I could relate to, here's something I never thought
would come up: I WAS a janitor at NSA. I was stationed there 1970-1972 as a
Sailor and during my last 8 months, I worked as a janitor after hours to
make enough money for the down payment on my first house. All the janitors
needed to be cleared, which made us military folks shoo-ins for these jobs.

The pay was OK for your average part time job. Nothing special, but I was
happy for the $1800 I banked in less than a year. (5% of 33,000 used to get
a family into a house. Not today.)

My first wife still has that house and it's worth $700,000.

Try offering two outfielders and a pitcher to be named later :-)

Seriously, other than her half of the house (her current hubby got on the
deed a few years ago for a re-fi), almost nothing. I divorced her in 1981
and traded away my half of the equity for no claim by her on my future
earnings (meaning no spousal support and no splitting of my Navy
retirement). She took a second to buy a business, which supported her,
although she did not run it well and she took a loss when she sold it.

I doubt she ever saved a penny. She draws a Social Security disability
pension for several ailments, real or imagined.

I fared better ;-)

you should not stoop to arguing with uneducated people.
argueing no simply countering the dangerous sort of libel that builds
up if not answered to under "if there is smoke there is fire" theory


Yeah, since you can't argue worth a ****, much like you can't do
anything else worth a ****, you useless *******.

Hi Sal...

I have problems with most characters of four or more elements length.
Exceptions are period and Q, for some reason.

Since I don't do CW too much anymore, I have similar problems, and I've
been at it since 1961!
If I did it more, I'd probably get better and I'm not suggesting that you
"need more practice", just offering a little empthy... (:-)


[... snip ...] Oh yeah -- I know V because the dit-dit-dit-dah sounds
like the 1812 overture.


Ummm... I believe you are referring to ''Beethoven's fifth" di - di -
di - dah. di - di - di - dah. didididah, didididah, didididah...

I am realy gald you said that I was thinking it myself but......

RE THE SUBJECT TITLE
No one is eliminating the code, only the requirement to obtain a Ham license
Many will use CW for many years to come
Consider it an optional communication method.

uh, if you are deserted on an island with a few buckets of electronics
junk, your best bet is CW.

if you a prisoner of war, CW could be invaluable in getting a message
out. there are many other cases where CW can be used in channels that
don't support audio.

i am a superior creature because i know CW! ;-)

I feel I'm a better radio amateur for knowing and being able use CW, but I
don't feel superior. When hardware fails, my pencil and paper still
work.

Actully, POWs made use of "tap code" to communicate. Check
