It varies a bit because the moon's orbit is elliptical, not a perfect circle. If you want more precise numbers, look them up in Wikipedia. I've known all that since grade school. Why do you ask? Don't you know? You've made reference to someone on rrap making a mistake on the earth-to-moon distance, but have not said who it was. Perhaps you were referring to yourself, and wanted to know for sure. The answer is: about 250,000 miles |

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. :-) 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] 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. :-) 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. 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. 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). I now regard Heil and Miccolis as in the same league as Robesin. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 and ya get a dinner date with Condi. :-) LA |

I don't bow down and genuflect in front of some dumb**** extra control-freaks demanding Instant Obediance to Their Majesties. 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. but turly Len you should consider it althought as I read your thoughts of that date it is not yet time to take the test for you maybe the 24 of feb? Mark, what I do in the future is MY business. I should have learned that the code-tested extra LOSERS of FCC 06-178 are unscrupulous fabricators of LIES a long time ago. At least all those that have babbled on in here about my alleged "promises" and "boasts" of SEVEN YEARS AGO. Especially that transgendered pedantic prissy pansy who tried to make a federal case out of a throwaway line in a newsgroup so many years ago. She never got my knuckles with her spanking ruler. Maybe that's why she was so mad? :-) "Seven years ago" I would watch my mother die a little bit every day in a nursing home. [she would pass on in early 2001] I had already converted her old bedroom into a home office and my wife and I were enjoying a newly-rebuilt kitchen make-over (total, including all new appliances) that was just completed. Wife was beginning to assemble a "trip notebook" for a planned sight-seeing, visiting, and 45th College class reunion in Wisconsin in early fall. Was I really slavering over the promise of a ham call? I don't think so. 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). Good grief, the wasy Miccolis went at it, he was so overboard that the USS Nautilus could never find him in a swimming pool! 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. Much earlier I had gotten up to about 8 WPM (when the minimum was 13) on morse code cognition and I had passed my FCC First 'Phone exam in one sitting at an FCC Field Office. 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? 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. On whatever design task I've done or been assigned to, that work got done successfully. 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. most hams are not MMM and the MMM are going to be realy busy I suspect 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. 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! 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. Is THAT what modern US radio amateurs are all about? If so, I want NO part of it. If so, only masochists would want to join it. 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. I'm not going to fall for the "bosses" emotional-baggage chastisement of "failing" to get a ham license or any of that bull****. Thanks but I've had a whole successful career in radio-electronics and its been (and still is) lots of fun in itself. 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. 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? Calling non-coders names? [they've had LOTS of practice at that] 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.

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" 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 construct was so out of spec it wouldn't fit anything but their warped imaginations. 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 whole post is still in the archives - I posted a link at the beginning of this thread. I have yet to see anyone explain how the context of that posting changes the obvious meaning.

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... |

I stated my effort in here years ago, that of just wanting to END the code test.

[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! :-) LA |

Oh the IMMORALITY of that! :-) :-) Tsk, some self-appointed Gods of Radio are abysmally ignorant, dysfunctional, and petty. They were busy, busy, busy doing heavy lifting of EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE hoping it got delivered. It didn't, wasn't addressed to me. But, (at least for Jimmie), they don't understand that I live in reality, not in their little fantasy world where the only radio that exists is amateur radio and radiotelegraphy. Have you seen the postings by "the man of a thousand callsigns?" He was busy, busy, busy too, trying to handle the same misaddressed emotional baggage. He "never did anything wrong," either...according to his claims. Instead he tries to use "age" as a factor. Poor braggart, he couldn't handle exposure before and he can't handle it now. Small men with smaller accomplishments trying to be "big." He will turn that on its ear and wind up blaming you for having the temerity to even ask such a thing!

Poor guy doesn't understand WHY. that is sad part in jim's case I truly beleive he does not understand why That IS the tragedy. He wants to be the "newsbringer" as if there are no other sources open for all on radio news. He wants to be some kind of "director" of US amateur radio and dictate who should do what yet he isn't with the ARRL. He wants to be an "insider" to the FCC yet has never been IN the FCC. He wants to impress others that he is "in" the electronics industry yet cannot openly state exactly WHAT he works on even if he doesn't name his employer. He tries to bluff off that he is a "radio manufacturer" yet hasn't given ANY sort of description of those "radios." He wants to be a "military expert" yet has not one microsecond worth of experience with any military branch. Lots and lots of BLUFF and half-truths. He is a clone of braggart-bully Robesin but with much better English. Tsk, he gets upset when so few believe him, fewer still who fail to respect him. NOT a good role model for the US amateur radio community. Only one day more to read the 06-178 Report & Order and find out when the code test goes bye-bye. Not to worry, Paul Schleck, let the morsemen "moderators" relax a bit. :-) Your "moderated" kaffeklatsch of olde tymers can continue with Days of Yesteryear kvetching. LA |
