Well he's tried calling himself "Superior Intellect", "Pierian Spring"

to believe that nonsense.

I'll have to take your word for that (No! Don't elaborate!) but it has
certainly
been true over the years that these NGs are plagued by childish forms
of self-expression from CBers-masquerading-as-radio-amateurs who
are completely ignorant of the twin gentlemanly and technical traditions
of amateur radio.

One has to hope that they are in decline and that no novices are put off
amateur radio by their anti-social commentaries.

If one's interest lies, say, antennas or propagation effects, both very
valid areas of interest to an amateur licensee, then the radio itself
becomes little more than a signal source or detector and is essentially
irrelevant.

You seem to be obsessed with CB.

Is that the sort of "childish forms of self-expression" you had in mind,
Gareth?

Quite.

Thus, it is the pursuit of a goal that is more rewarding than the goal
itself, and when one project is finished, apart from a short session
on the air to evaluate its efficacy, it is on to the next project. (In my
case, still keeping
a log book although no longer required to do so, I am only half way
through my second log book in 45 years of being licensed).

Some projects get to fruition quickly, for example my Chinese copy
of a Vibroplex, photos of which appeared in the GQRP SPRAT
magazine within a very few weeks of starting it, whereas others
may go on for years as the goalposts get shifted time and again!

========================
Gareth , What is the purpose of this eternal repeat , repeat ,repeat.
May I suggest you "clear your internal memory"


It is very necessary to address the eternal CBisation, CBisation, CBisation
lest the powers-that-be see only the CB side of things and restrict
our design and construction privileges. AIUI, there are already countries
where only commercial rigs may be used.

The other probelm is that the floodgates have been opened and there
are large numbers of those (perhaps those who say such things as, "this
eternal repeat , repeat ,repeat"?)
who really are CBers-masquerading-as-radio-amateurs and object emotionally
that they had been deceived into thinking that they were somehow _REAL_
radio amateurs.

I suggest that you put me into your killfile if you dislike my attempts to
maintain the technical and gentlemanly traditions of _REAL_ amateur radio.


Alas whilst I'm in full agreement with Garet regarding standards and
decency there are those (and yes they are visible in this thread) who
claim technically superiority and yet show themselves up to be the
buffoons that they are by lowering the standards of behavior they
claim to maintain.

How's the studying for your next attempt at the Advanced exam going, OM?
How many times you had a stab at it now? 5? 6? Good luck!

A very accurate assessment of Gareth's behaviour - well done 'Bo.


Sometimes it's hard to believe that Hambo is Gareth's sole friend! It's the
same the other way, though, Gareth often brands old Hambo as a CB'er
masquerading as a radio amateur! What a weird pair.

Didn't Gareth suffer a bout of lucidity once and start posting as Anus or
something similar?

He became known as The Anus after this:
https://groups.google.com/forum/mess...4/uzDhciduvEwJ

During the time Beanie was using anagrams of "Brian Reay" as his sock
puppet, (these included the infamous "Airy R. Bean") I ran an anagram
creator on "Gareth Alun Evans."
The best anagram I recall was "Anus lager haven't."

Ah, I see.

What isn't so clear is how Gareth expected the following "poem" of his to
best represent the gentlemanly traditions of amateur radio?

"Monarchy is heinous,
'Cos the queen has an anus.
She sits and squits
Brown bits of ****."

Speaking of his "poetry", I just remembered that I still have his book to
send you. It's been packaged and ready to go for months, but I put it in my
drawer and forgot about it, probably a consequence of some kind of
primitive brain survival technique to cope with the trauma of having read
the ****ing thing. I'll dispose of it in the mail to you this week! Get
some booze in, mate, you won't want to tackle this **** sober.
