The dusty box remains unopened. No attempt has yet been made to open
it. The empty boast has yet to be fulfilled.

Dave K8MN

I have an ARX2B like that.

Great. Did you boast that you were going to open it seven years ago?

Why no, Dave. I boasted that I was going to purchase it seven years
ago.

:-)

Dave is ahhh... a bit thick.

When it does get opened, it will be as if new.

Maybe it will be; maybe it won't be. You won't know for certain until
you open it.

Why wouldn't it be perfect? It's never been opened, and the box is
intact.

It won't be "perfect" unless the Foremost Authority deems
it perfect. [when he takes off his little red hat, puts
down the tin cup when organ-grinder Miccolis takes a break]

Cushcraft didn't use non-contaminating jacket material?

Would Jim categorize that as a design flaw or defective materials?

Is the World's Greatest DXer suggesting that Cushcraft products are
defective or have poor quality control?

Hee hee hee...World's Greatest DXer prolly thot that you
had some kind of furrin' callsign or experimental license.
:-)

An "F" prefix and 200 KHz out of bounds... ;^)

And rest assured, I can open it at any time.

Len is in his eighth decade of life.

Correction: FIRST CENTURY! :-)

Then he would be perfect as a new ham.

Absolutely NOT! I don't bow down and genuflect in front
of some dumb**** extra control-freaks demanding Instant
Obediance to Their Majesties.

You wouldn't have to, even though some expect it. They get all
indignant and its kind of funny.

Especially the ego-
inflated ex-government employee types who spend all their
time trying to beat on all others who don't agree with
Them.

Well, there is that.

He could even apply through the
Vanity Call System and get an old-timey callsign so people would think
he was an old hand at this amateur stuff...

Ha ha ha ha ha. Yes, I COULD do that. But I won't.

I started out in radio "at this military stuff" then
"at this commercial stuff" and never really got around
to "this amateur (licensed) stuff." Over a half
century ago. Herr Oberst doesn't like that. In fact,
Herr Oberst has a hate hard-on for anyone talking
against, or anyone NOT following his "superior" orders
like HOW It Should Be Done. Herr Robust and his
organ-grinding pal, Jimmie NOserve (the one who has
a hate memory like an effluent), birds of a feather
(who just can't fly very far).

Flightless. Like "Happy Feet" tapping out Morris Code!

I now regard Heil and Miccolis as in the same league
as Robesin.

I don't. The latter is a danger...

All that "elite" little group can do is
to sit around and hate all those who don't agree with
them. All must follow - explicitly - what They Say
or be the target of all sorts of character assassination
attempts for years and years afterwards.

True enough.

I don't think
that is the express purpose of US amateur radio...but
those three certainly act like it is in hundreds of
their postings in here.

It's not the purpose of the ARS, but those three vigilantes have taken
it upon themselves to avenge the alledged wrongs that have been
perpetrated against the ARS.

There are limits on his ability to
open the box containing his Extra Class license.

Perhaps Handi-Hams could lend a box-cutter.

Thanks but I have one. Used it last time to open the
boxes that contained a Roomba and Scooba. [wife got
her own Christmas present, paid for it by credit card
through the Internet] They work just fine, but it is
beyond their cleaning ability to clean up all the ****
that those snivelling little sore code-test losers
leave in here.

Welp, the price of sour grapes is trending down... there's just so much
of it.

If I need ****-cutters, all I have to do is come in
here and read the "superior" postings by code-tested
extras extolling their mighty radio pioneerings of the
past through dumpster diving and organ grinding.

Now, now Len. It's called a "junk box," not a dumpster, nevermind the
actual origin of the parts. ;^)

Why buy something nice when you can kluge together a frankenbox?

He hasn't even paid for it with CASH yet.

Extra licenses for sale? Would that be through the ARRL VEC or the
W5YI VEC?

Through the Department of State ex-employees credit union.

I heard they had a Special Sale on...get a furrin' call

Some mateirals deteriorate over time. The plastics used in some types
of coaxial cable are one example.

Which part of the ARX2B do you think has deteriorated? The aluminum
elements, the stainless steel screws, or the coaxial runner?

He KNOWS, Brian, He KNOWS...now watch a whole new sub-thread
evolve from that...dozens of posts wherein Jimmie NOserve will
"show" that YOU are at fault and he is absolutely,
totally blameless. :-)

Actually, he is saying that Cushcraft is at fault. Heil may hold that
position as well. Good thing I don't hold stock in Cushcraft as these
two just might drive them out of business. Kind of like Robesin and
his "She's selling something..." (and it's not amateur radio equipment)
remarks about a midwestern amateur radio dealer's ham daughter.

Ah yes, the "selling" thing! :-)


Is the World's Greatest DXer suggesting that Cushcraft products are

Did Cushcraft use only coax with a noncontaminating jacket?

Did they?

Tsk. Jimmie NOT know?!? Why he ask question instead of stating
reply as his fact?

Jim broke the first law of asking questions on RRAP.

Or is it one of Newton's? You know, "For every question
there is an equal and opposite Miccolis question?" :-)


And rest assured, I can open it at any time.

Len is in his eighth decade of life.

As I said before, it's just my FIRST CENTURY. :-)

Mine two! ;^)

WAY 2 GO! :-)


Then he would be perfect as a new ham. He could even apply through the

That would require opening the box first. Not going to happen, IMHO.

Your opinion is not humble. Besides, Len just might surprise you.

Then again, I might not. :-)

That just leaves his opinion not being humble...

Jimmie "HUMBLE?!?" Hardly! :-)

Jimmie know all, see all, tell everyone that...


Instead of your Federal Register Watch, you might query the FCC data
base each day for Len's new callsign.

Best of Luck.

"New callsign?" Which one of my old callsigns is changing?
WRRR? WREX? WMCW? WBEL? KFAC? KMPC?

As far as I know WRRR went out of business. All the others are
chugging right along, though. [WRRR was a difficult ID to say
during station breaks...:-) ]

No phunny fenetics?

Eees deeficult wid dat. Best anyone could do is
"double-yew triple-R." :-)


But, I digress. All must remember that engine-ear Jimmie done
made a "pronouncement" on a "deteriorating" Cushcraft product.
It no good if Jimmie done say it is...and that's that! :-)

I wouldn't want to be Cushcraft right now - in Jim's crosshairs.

Jimmie da "radio manufacturer" he gonna take out ads
denouncing Cushcraft or sumthin'?

I'm trying to get a Biblican reference here to "Cush" but
can't make it fit. :-) I must be "off the beam..." :-)

Tsk, tsk, tsk, "young gun." I stated my effort in here years ago,
that of just wanting to END the code test. Problem was, NOBODY
believed that and they went on and on and on and on about this
TERRIBLE MORAL FLAW I had for not getting a ham ticket! :-)

Herr Oberst Heil and his lackey Jimmie Miccolis, they wanted to
MANUFACTURE nastygrams about that...so they took things out
of context, hammered them in and welded it shut...even though the
construct was so out of spec it wouldn't fit anything but their
warped imaginations.

Now FCC 06-178 is so close to legal fact of ENDING that damn
code testing, those intrepid "radio mis-manufacturers" are crying
and whining and snarling at all of us who DARED speak at the FCC
about ending the code test. Oh, great big crocodile tears for those
radio mis-manufacturers busy making Mt. Everests out of ant hills!

Was I really slavering over the promise of a ham call?
I don't think so.

You wrote here that you were going to get an amateur radio license,
Len.
Not just any license, but the Amateur Extra. But you haven't done it.

Now, according to the exaggerated FABRICATIONS of Jimmie
NOserve, it sounds like I had made some sort of pact with
my dying mother, as if promising I would "get an extra out
of the box" (if it was the last thing I did).

You wrote here that you were going to get an amateur radio license,
Len.
Nobody says it was some sort of promise, nor has anyone fabricated your
words. I just reposted a link to what *you* actually claimed you would
do.
But you haven't done it.

Did I "boast" anything? No, I think not because, given all
the requirements, I COULD have done it, even with a code
test. I say "could" because that had a high probability of
completion.

That's an idle boast in itself, Len. You claim you could have done it,
but
you didn't.

Suppose - just SUPPOSE - I were to claim that I could have gotten a
First 'Phone commercial license at the age of 16, way back in 1970.
Toss in a Second Telegraph commercial license, too.

Would you accept that as having a high probability? I think not. Even
though
I probably could have done both.

Much earlier I had gotten up to about 8 WPM
(when the minimum was 13)

The minimum Morse Code speed for an FCC-issued amateur license stopped
being
13 wpm in 1951. After the restructuring of 1951, it was 5 wpm. Soon it
will be 0 wpm.

on morse code cognition and I had
passed my FCC First 'Phone exam in one sitting at an FCC
Field Office.

So what? None of that means you could pass the FCC exams for the
Amateur Extra
in 2000. Or in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 or 2007. Claiming
what you could
have done in the recent past based on what you allegedly did in the
distant past sure
sounds like idle boasting.

But, "seven years ago," whatinhell was the
PURPOSE of spending my own time on bringing back code
cognition? To get an AMATEUR radio license so I could
"work HF" when I had already done that without a test
nearly a half century past? Would it have been to add a
callsign behind my name? WHY?

Tell us, Len. Tell us your actual motivations.

btw, an amateur license is more than a callsign.

If you don't want such a license, why did you write that you were going
to get one?
Not just any license, but the Amateur Extra. But you haven't done it.
Why say you
were going to get something you really don't want?

Thank you, I was already
secure enough in myself NOT to need some fancy-schmansy
amateur Titles to boast about or preen or tell tall tales
in front of other amateurs. I've had my regular-hours
work experience with its attendant titles and business
cards.

Len, we've all seen you "boast about or preen or tell tall tales" here
without an amateur license. Heck knows how you'd behave with one!

On whatever design task I've done or been assigned
to, that work got done successfully.

Doesn't mean *you* did it, though, just that it got done.....;-)

If I wanted to hear tall tales it was an easy matter to
join a local fraternal order and hang around their bar;
I'm not a fraternal order member and don't care to spend
lots of time drinking. If I wanted to see Moose or Elk
or little Kiwanis flapping their gums I would travel to
their natural habitat and observe them.

You mean like folks who were never actually on the receiving
end of an artillery barrage, but who tell what it's like, based solely
on the words of others?

Or folks who bitterly oppose changes to, say, zoning regulations in
their own neighborhoods (aka NIMBY), because such changes may
affect their 'enjoyment', but then insist on trying to change the rules
in a radio service where they are completely uninvolved?

I don't know "most hams" just about two dozen. The three
I know best all favor retention of the code test...yet we
still get along fine.

Do they know how you behave here?

Would they tolerate it if you addressed them they way you address
those who disagree with you here?

Perhaps your definition of "getting along fine" is that you don't
physically assult each other?

Come in here, though, and the Mighty
Macho Morsemen are so damn "superior" to everyone else that
they can leap tall pile-ups at a single bound. They are
the "gods of radio" and HAVE NO FLAWS!

Well, that leaves me out. I've got a few flaws.

They are all self-
described GENIUSES of English syntax and spelling (if not
of the Hunnish language which one apparently writes...even
if there was no recording of that ancient tongue)...they are
Masters of Correction, or rather "correction carnivores,"
eager to seize the slightest mistake or typo and shout to
the world (that they perceive) that the corrected party is
UNFIT for all. They will NEVER admit their own flaws of
English and try to put the blame on their accusers if
they are caught at it.

Isn't that exactly what *you* are doing, Len? You're really describing
yourself and your behavior here!

Was your "out of the box" statement of seven years ago a mistake in
English syntax, Len?

What is a "throwaway comment", Len? You've described some of your own
words
that way - does it mean you write things here that you don't really
mean?

It seems to me that what you *really* want is to simply rant and rave
at those
who disagree with you here. You want to carry on in a very immature
fashion, yet
never have your own words or behavior commented on or tossed back at
you.

You want to claim that others have written and/or done certain things
without ever providing any evidence, but then get all upset and nasty
when evidence of your own behavior is provided.

Classic "do as Len says, not as Len does" behavior.

Well, it doesn't work that way.

Is THAT what modern US radio
amateurs are all about?

Don't you know, Len? You claim to know all about amateur radio - now
it turns out that you actually know only about a dozen amateurs.

If so, I want NO part of it. If
so, only masochists would want to join it.

False conclusion!

But, as an optimist (not the fraternal order), I think there
might be some hope for a FUN HOBBY of amateur radio. Little
pockets of activity here and there where a few folks are
actually enjoying radio for radio's sake...NOT because some
strident (unofficial) "boss" tries to beat them into
submission to the "bosses" idea of what they "should" do.

Actually, Len, there are large numbers of radio amateur's actually
enjoying "radio for its own sake" on the amateur bands. Including
me.

But even though you are not one of them - not part of that
neighborhood - you want to change the rules for it. And not
just about the Morse Code test.

How is that any different from an outsider trying to change
zoning laws in your neighborhood?

I'm not going to fall for the "bosses" emotional-baggage
chastisement of "failing" to get a ham license or any of
that bull****.

Who are these alleged "bosses"?

Why did you say you were going to do something if you did
not intend to do it? If you really could do so, as you claimed,
was there really no time in the past 7 years? Your postings
here prove you had plenty of time to hurl insults at others.

Thanks but I've had a whole successful
career in radio-electronics and its been (and still is)
lots of fun in itself.

Then why are you posting here so much? Some of us
have a stake in amateur radio policy, because it affects us
directly. You don't. You're not the FCC, either.

If these "bosses" want to rummage
around in their FANTASY of being Gods of Radio as code-
tested extras, they can go right ahead making fools of
themselves. I can't control them but I CAN try to show
them and others how damn foolish they really are.

Perhaps the foolishness is in bothering to read what you write.

WHAT are the Mighty Macho Morsemen going to be "busy"
about? Sitting around in here trying to spank those who
don't care for morse code mode?

"Spank"? How?

Calling non-coders
names? [they've had LOTS of practice at that]

When have I called here anyone names, Len? You're the one who
does that. Heck, you can't even call those who disagree with you
by their first names or callsigns - you have to make up insulting
nicknames for them.

There's a challenge for you. Try addressing everyone here by their
first names
and/or callsigns *only*. Not by insulting nicknames, last names, etc.
Just first names and/or callsigns. Can you do that? I think not.

Pretending
they are ruff tuff Dill Instructors chewing out recruits?
[they've had LOTS of practice at that, too] Most of them
seem busy, busy, busy at exaggerating their own
experiences (if not telling outright lies). Let them.
It's the only "life" they seem to have.

How about someone who insists on knowing what others do for
a living, their family situations, their education, military/government
service, and much more stuff unconnected to the subject of this NG,
so it can be used as a basis for insults?

Why are you so upset and angry, Len? All I did was to post a link to
something you wrote.

Is that not allowed? Is there a statute of limitations on newsgroup
postings?

are judgemental as hell about everyone else, yet
turn a blind eye to fellow morsers.

Nobody believes your claim of "just wanting to END the code test"
because
your behavior proves otherwise.

You do want to eliminate the Morse Code test. But you also want a lot
of other
things in amateur radio to change, such as eliminating anyone under the
age
of 14 years from being a licensed radio amateur, even though you can't
provide even one example of a problem caused by the lack of a minimum
age requirement.

There's a lot of other things you clearly want changed, such as
eliminating
vanity calls, eliminating multiple classes of amateur radio license,
etc.,
but you only admit to the Morse Code test thing. That's a clear
contradiction to
"just wanting to END the code test".

And it's why your claims aren't believed.

You talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Then you get all bent out
of shape because some points out the facts - as if *they* are wrong
for doing so.

they wanted to
MANUFACTURE nastygrams about that...so they took things out
of context, hammered them in and welded it shut...even though the

How was your claim of seven years ago taken out of context?

You wrote that you were "going for Extra right out of the box".
Pretty clear then, and pretty clear now. The

Boo-hoo...they gonna LOSE their big claim to fame as Mighty
(Tested) Macho Morsemen. They won't be so damn "superior"
anymore!

Len, nobody on rrap cries, whines, snarls, or sheds crocodile tears
nearly
so much as you do ;-)

Let's recap: The reason folks don't believe your claim of
"just wanting to END the code test" is because your behavior proves
otherwise.

And as for "nastygrams" - well, all anyone has to do is check how many
posts
have been made to this NG by









(those are just the ones I know of and can recall, there may be
others.)

and they'll see who does what...

Nope. Won't hold my breath. Len's time has come and gone, and every
sane person realizes that he will NEVER get a license, not even after
the code requirement has been dropped.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, "young gun." I stated my effort in here years ago,
that of just wanting to END the code test. Problem was, NOBODY
believed that and they went on and on and on and on about this
TERRIBLE MORAL FLAW I had for not getting a ham ticket! :-)

Nobody believes your claim of "just wanting to END the code test"

wrong again I beleive meaning your claim nobody bleives is well a lie

Mark, Jimmie's comments about me are neither "lie" nor "truth."
The poor guy gets a hard one every time his browser shows my
name on the day's messages. He's just "not with it." :-)
When he sees my name (or anyone who has "wronged" him, he gets
a correction orgasm going and his hand trembles, wanting to
ruler-spank the knuckles of what she thinks are "children."

He gets a tad irrational at times, as witnessed by his trading
his Nun of the Above character for Judge Judy. [still trans-
gendering but if he likes it, fine...all kinds of folks like
that here in LA...:-) ]

Note that "Judge" has "ruled" on the admissability of evidence,
namely "there is no statute of limitations in a newsgroup!"
Damn, just gotta LOVE his rationalizations of his/her conduct!

Tsk, a lot of what Jimmie be doing is just Cry-Baby time. All
sorts of baby monitors all over the country are making RFI on
49 MHz these days. His "side" LOST. Now he wants retribution.
[he thinks he's a "Prisoner?" and looks like Patrick McGoohan?]

If I was really and truly lusting after an amateur license, then
I would have gotten one in 1991. That wasn't on my list of
wants-and-warrants in any clipboard on the dash. I still had my
First 'phone (albeit converted automatically to a GROL with a
lifetime, no renewal), an expired PLMRS radio station license,
a couple of CB licenses (from back in the days when such were
necessary). I don't need ANY title or honorific either in front
or behind my legal name, am secure in what I can do and not do.
I've not only been IN "big business" of HF communications but
lived IN an antenna field far larger than the biggest amateur
antenna farm ever built (a converted airfield, over 2 square
miles worth). I've communicated by radio from the land, from
the air (while at the controls of an aircraft), from the sea
(okay, Ventura Harbor...:-) plus doing a bunch of other
communicating over radio while working on DoD contracts.

Now, I have to admit that actually DOING amateur radio, all
nice, legal, and proper like MIGHT be a fun thing in retirement
but the "Judges" (besides Jimmie-Judy) insist I must fall into
ranks, march right along to their commands, salute them and
call them SIR and other bull****. Sorry, been there, done
that, got three-up and one-down of an E-5 to do that nice,
legal, and proper. :-) If anyone wants to "question" that,
they can "get in front of the tube" (in LAPD parlance). :-)

These Faithfull Followers of the Church of St. Hiram can have
their morsemanship, marry it, have sex with it, live with it
forever for all I care. Ain't on my desire list to RE-CREATE
the radio world of the 1930s. I just don't believe that ANY
newcomers have to test for morse code cognition...just because
a bunch of mentally-old codgers with morse on their brains
try to force them into that. NOBODY made them "officials"
or Moses Part II, the keeper of the radio tablets...but
they've gone into some burning bush and been consumed by the
CONTROL fire! They are control-freaks mightily engaged in
showing the unbelievers the "glory of their cause" as the
self-appointed, self-anointed Guardians of the Olde Wayes.

Fuggem, that's NOT fun. That's pathetic selfishness on
their part...hyprocritcal bull**** in trying to make all
others do as they did once upon a time in the last century.

now yes along the way Len has made comments on the other ARS matter so
wht

Jimmie NOserve NO like dat. He wants to Control others,
"make" them respect His Works. He refuses to acknowledge
that He is NOT a god and won't admit he has faults (some
of his faults might rival San Andreas)...but he LOVES to
nit-pick and find fault with those who disagree with him.
WOW does he LOVE to that! He loves to pull things out of
context, make them APPEAR as if they were the Most Immoral
Things Done By Man!

Judge Judy und der Uber Oberst are obsessed with eliminating
the rights of US citizens to speak to the US government on
ANY matter that They decide is "proper." The poor dears
ought to understand that US amateur radio does NOT "belong"
to Them nor does talking about it be EXCLUSIVELY limited
ONLY to already-licensed amateurs. Tsk, they never "owned"
it and neither had one single solitary "official" standing
in anything but their own doo-doo.

why do you have a problem with that (not realy expecting an answer

Mark, you will NEVER get a coherent, valid answer on that.
He will turn that on its ear and wind up blaming you for
having the temerity to even ask such a thing! Jimmie have
deciduous delusions (if not dementia with his mental
leaves already fallen) of grandeur since He "is always
right" and any opposing him are "always wrong."

Let him stay regressed, he can't repress anyone anymore.
Leave him alone in his little dreams of glory in the air-
waves, busy "pioneering" things long after others had
been doing it long before him. He lives in the past, the
works of others, trying to ally himself to their time-space
continuum, perhaps hoping the glory and recognition will
somehow, magically transfer to himself. It won't.

Oh, boo-hoo, code testing will soon be GONE! All the
adamant pro-coders better hold a conference and brain-
storm more rationales on why They are so "superior."
They MUST do that...their psyches are glued to fixations
that they are inherently "superior" and cannot bear to
lose it! Morse code UNTER alles! :-)
