Get a licence and try 'slumming' on the ham bands, Len. You won't be the

Alun,

You have to understand... Lennie doesn't *WANT* to get a ham license. He has
pretty much been posting the same drivel to this newsgroup for a decade. I
refer you to the following posting I made *7* years ago on this very topic:

Anderson is challenged to show that there were any irregularities in the
testing of the young people involved.

Actually Jim, the above quote summarizes Lennie's problem in a nutshell.
It ****es him off to no end that 4-year olds are able to get ham radio
licenses, and he, well, can't (or won't).

Lennie's vitrol is sometimes amusing, most of the time boring. A cursory
review of DejaNews will show that Lennie has never had a kind word for
amateurs, or the amateur radio service.

Almost 2 decades ago when I was in my teens, we had a grandmother living
with us. She used to constantly bitch, moan, and complain. She was a
lonely, bitter old woman whose time had passed by, and her goal in life
was to make everyone else equally as miserable as her. She couldn't be
happy, then by golly neither would anyone else.

That's pretty much the Lennie Anderson of today. As a CB Radio operator,
for decades he has been on the outside of ham radio looking in. That nasty
code test has been 'holding him back'. And, by golly, if *HE* can't be a
ham operator, and be worshiped by the masses (the intellectual giant he
is), well, then nobody should be able to enjoy ham radio.

That's pretty much my mental image of Lennie. A senile old fart, rocking
in his corner rocking chair, who occasionally wipes the drool of his face,
plugs in his telephone to his 300 baud acoustic-coupler modem, and uses
his VT100 green-screen to spread hate and discontent.

So, as you see Alun, nothing has changed over the past 7 years, except the
email address he uses when he posts.
