SC 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 ![]() 73, Phil W7OX |

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, Terry, KC9KEL newly minted |

I can't have a QSO with a no-code ham. 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. |

: In article . net, says... 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. 73 de Slow Code 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. 73 Chris 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? SC |
