You should get an 817 yourself - no tuning required!

If you wish to be henceforth perceived as a Childish Broadcaster (CBer)
then carry right on with the Childish Broadcasting (CB) such as
you utter below.

You seem to be obsessed with me, you are chanting your
infantile playground tirades at every turn. Brian Reay says that
such obsession is a sign of envy. Have you no life of your own?

All _REAL_ Radio Hams have a number of ongoing projects
simultaneously. Some are held up for lack of components, some
for a lack of time, others for lack of info.
I wouldn't recommend anyone whose background
is in transistorised QRP to tackle the neutralising of a compact
PA stage with 600 VDC on the anodes after replacing the
antenna coupling capacitor unadvisedly, lightly, or wantonly. The
project
was held up awaiting info, and when I needed the space, was
one of a number that I disposed of. ISTR that an R1475 awaiting
restoration
also was disposed of at the same time. The project was underway,
I was fully prepared to have a go, in sharp contrast to the
CBers-Masquerading-As-Radio-Hams of today who buy their
goods from a shop and return them to a shop if needing repair.

You really do seem anxious to score some pathetic and childish
points. You may feel at home starting and then desperately
trying to continue a ****ing-in-the-playground
competition, but that is not my style.

You do yourself, this NG, and Ham Radio in general no service
by discouraging the discussion of what we do and the problems
we encounter along the way if you pick up on minor points out
of context and sneer and chant from the sidelines. How are
we to encourage the novitiate other than by discussing what
we do?

Shame on you.

Grow up, Mike Gathergood!

Stupid boy.

Oh - it seems I owe you an apology?

It must be some other Pierian Spring who "****es" the same tedious
self-righteous drivel into these newsgroups umpteen times a week.

If it is your wish to be for ever perceived as a Childish
Broadcaster (CBer), then carry right on with uttering
your obsessive Childish Broadcasting (CB) such as you
do below.

You're not doing yourself any favours with your
infantile tirades, and you really ought to know better.

Shame on you.

Grow up, Mike Gathergood!

So how are people supposed to learn/progress if they are not
going to tackle something they have no previous experience of?
Is that not the whole point of Ham Radio, as you seem to continually
remind us of in your FAQ?

At no time have I indicated that I wasn't prepared to
tackle something of which I had no experience. I was
prepared to tackle it, and was awaiting the appropriate
instructions. How many of those who boast of having
neutralised the PA stage of an FT101 did so without
the manufacturer's instructions thereto, and if they
lacked the instructions, how did they know that their
attempts to so neutralise were successful?

You really do seem desperate to score some
infantile point, Andy GilFillan!

OK - are you a man, or a yellow-bellied coward?

I notice that your own personal details are withheld
in the callbook.

How brave of you to publish someone else's, including
their phone number while you yourself hide shaking
and quivering behind the safety of the playground fence
while you chant your infantile sneers.

You'll also find Nick G3VCP, whom you accused of being a pirate, is
QTHR at qrz.com

And at least I use my own name, rather than claiming to be the Pierian
Spring of Greek mythology.

I don't follow web links - if you have something valid
to contribute to a discussion in this NG - possibly
your address and telephone number, then contribute it,
or else be for ever dismissed as a cowardly child.

You really must get out of this habit of yours of
chanting infantile untruths; it does you no favours.
I did not accuse anybody of being a pirate as you
imply below.

As to using one's own name, I used to until my
family was subject to malicious and threatening
correspondence coming from Stephen G Bryan G0SGB.
I advise anybody to remain anonymous as there are
malicious and obsessive loonies to be found in this NG
and in this thread to this day.

You also seem to not understand the tradition
of using a pseudonym, in my case for the reason
discussed above - I do not claim to be a font of any sort;
I am merely using a pseudonym.

Once again, you should give serious consideration to
presenting to this NG a persona other than the
insult-sneering infant that you continue to do below.

Grow up, Mike Gathergood!
