The answer is "yes it is a real contact" and so far as you were
communicating with some one using a radio it also is "like talking to
someone on CB."

Dude, your arrogance is showing.


I would have said ignorance ;)

Don't tell me You want to dumb down ham radio now as well. Where have all
the communicators gone?

SC

Any idiot can learn code. Not everyone can understand theory enough to make
it usable in day to day practice. I submit that SC is the "any idiot".

Since when was talking as in Phone SSB not
"communication". Sure code is fine, but most of
us learned to key "mama" long after we learned to
say it ;)

Hmm. OK, how about talking to a no-code with a yet-to-be-activated
General? I sat for & took the Tech, passed and they mentioned I could
take the General. Great. Passed that one as well. Working on Morse
now.

Missed the Extra, though, by a few questions.

Was my first shot at any exam.

Neither a Tech nor a General makes one a Ham, though.
Nor Morse.

That only qualifies you to be a good student of the avocation.
I don't expect to be really good at ham radio until I've played
around
with a transceiver for a year or two, maybe. Still need to learn
the lingo,
learn electronics, get my feet wet, build a receiver and maybe a
transmitter,
blow up a few caps..you know, OJT. Plus lots of hamfests where I'll
be looking for a cute hamette.

When I finally DO get a rig of some kind, I sorta kinda might be
Ready
for going after QSOs.

Even from folks who think I've got an honorary degree.

Good DX & 73,

They can't copy CW!!! So, No QSO!


So you wouldn't respond to a Mayday and save a life?
Nice guy.

How does one say mayday on CW? My radio only works on the bottom 25 KHz
of the
HF bands.

then you are a porrly equiped ham and should turn your license in for
the good of the ars
http://kb9rqz.blogspot.com/

I am fairly well equipped: IC-756 Pro III, IC-746, AL-80B amplifier,
ANC-4 noise
canceller, MFJ 1025 Signal enhancer, TS-570D, AMP SUPPLY LK-450
Amplifier, G-707
[2 & 440], plus computer ... and these are the things on my operating
table.

What do you use the AL-80B for? You are not licensed to use it.


Looks like Markie going to get a letter from the FCC.



Scheissman is just jealous that he can't afford to buy an AL-80B.


BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Billy ****s up again!




After
all, he barely paid for that FT-920 that he sponged out of Marie.


If he "sponged" it then he didn't have to "barely pay" for it. Too bad
for you he bought it.
Unlike you who has to get second and third hand used equipment, he can
afford new equipment.



Not that it makes that much difference because he can't put up a decent
station ro any sort of a signal.


BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA "ro any sort of signal?"
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


The only reasonIKYABWAI


The only reason Billy boy can get even second hand or third hand radios
is because he begs his mommy to buy them for him. Billy can't hold
those fast food jobs very long, he delivers papers now.


Mwhahahahhaha. I've never held a fast food job

BWHAHAHAHAA Billy is not even ualified to hold a fast food job. Looks
like from what SS told me that *he* works as a garbageman.

but you seem to know

And you sure don't.

Weren't you the local fry cook for KFC?

Why don't you call them (304) 845-8550 and ask? Maybe they'd let you
hand out ketchup packages if they hire you.

Thanks for posting that chuck. I've never broken any of those on the air
or on usenet. Maybe now Markie and everyone else will see why CW is
important.

Thanks again and Keep up the good work.

You need to read them again SC. You break them daily on usenet. You're
not considerate. You're down right unfriendly to some and You're about
unprogressive as they come.

Any 12 year old can learn code in 2 weeks. Getting rid of it would not
dumb down Ham radio at all. Code is a good thing to know. Whether you
use it or not is a personal preference. I think programming you're own
software to send code yourself and building your own radio is a lot more
technical than learning code.

You think that's bad? Wait until HF sounds 11 meters and you can't find a
decent contact anywhere. You'll see I was right.

I crawled out of my hole around restructuring time. Then the ARRL and FCC
screwed ham radio. I went back in my hole again. Now the FCC and it
appears with the blessings of the ARRL is planning to toss CW all
together. I come out of my hole to fight for the integrity of ham radio
once again, but when the R&O comes out eliminating CW, I'll crawl back
into my hole again. Leaving you and everyone else the problem of trying to
deal with poor behavior and operating practice on the bands. The result
of dumbing down licensing.

Outcome based education doesn't work, what makes you think outcome based
licensing will?

But people don't want to be skilled at anything anymore. They don't want
to make an effort to learn CW, they may not make an effort to learn other
things to advance themselves technically either.

Your home-page is a piece of filth.

PLEASE don't try to pass yourself off as being a good representative of ham
radio.
