About 250,000 miles. Varies because the orbit is not a perfect circle. * * have conflicting figures here from some 'engineer' in this group, who will remain useless..... Who is that, Leo? That was you. No, it wasn't. You are mistaken, Leo. I'm sorry, Jim - you are incorrect ..... once again! Nope. The earth-to-moon distance is approximately 250,000 miles. I have posted the approximate distance from the earth to the moon here a few times. 250,000 miles, each time. A bit too approximate, OM In your opinion. - it varies considerably as the distance changes during the orbit cycle: As I noted when I wrote: "About 250,000 miles. Varies because the orbit is not a perfect circle." Mean distance: 238,712 miles At apogee: 252,586 miles At perigee: 221,331 miles That's a 11% error rate at perigee, and approaching a 5% error rate at mean distance. Nope. Not an "error rate". The figure 250,000 miles is accurate to within 11.5%. (approximately) at perigee, using your figures. Twice in each orbit, the earth-to-moon distance is exactly 250,000 miles, btw. *Not too far off at apogee, though - perhaps we can get someone to hold it still for you? * If 250,000 miles isn't accurate enough for you, then you must fault your buddy Len too. Because he stated the distance as a quarter million miles.... But you were much closer than you were with your Mars calculations! One of them went over a 100% error rate. (just in case you forgot again, you can find that one with Google if you search the groups for the following subject line: " European Mars probe to use 80meters to look for Martian water?" - August 7, 2004, to be precise). Yup, I made an error on the Earth-to-Mars distance. So what? The error was corrected. Did I call anyone names for pointing out m,y mistake? Did I make fun of their education? You're welcome! Ptoooey - did you forget? Ptoooey? Ptoooey. No signoff again? *Bad form! 73, Leo (why be 'approximate' when exact is so easy?) No reply? *Worse form.... * Why should I reply to someone who is anonymous? (how can someone argue vehemently an error of only 0.04% in one thread, and be as much as 11 percent out in this one *- and over 100 percent in another?? *That just ain't logical!!) Who is arguing over an error of 0.04%, Leo? Certainly not me. Len claimed: "that Technician class is now bigger than ALL other US license classes combined" But he was wrong. 100% mistaken. Even if we allow the inclusion of Technician Pluses in the total, they do not exceed the number of all other US license classes combined. The difference is more than 0.5%, not 0.04%. But the percentage difference doesn't matter. Len did not specify "approximately" or cite any numbers in his claim "that Technician class is now bigger than ALL other US license classes combined" All he did was make the claim, which is either true or false. Only two possible states - true or false - not a question of approximations or percentage of accuracy. I showed Len's claim to be false - using the numbers Len provided! Those numbers are exact, not approximations. In short: The earth-to-moon distance is approximately 250,000 miles. Both Len and I agree on that. Twice per orbit, the earth-to-moon distance is exactly 250,000 miles. but The Technician class is *not* now bigger than all other US license classes combined. And if present trends continue, it never will be. Jim, N2EY |

At an average rate of 36/day increase through the no-code Tech entry versus an average 78/day DECREASE through expirations, just give it a little time, oh ****y pedantic one. :-) You really and honestly "think" that there will be ANY significant "reduction" of the no-code-test Techs by 23 February 2007? If you do, then you are a hopeless romantic of days long gone by. So, how many no-code-test Techs were there in 1990, just 17 years ago? Any? And they caused the Techs to increase to a tiny fraction short of "exactly" 50% of ALL licensees? In just a dozen-plus years? Wow, you've really got your head in the sand! (or up your A-soul or someone else's...) And you want to argue and argue and argue and ball your fists up and cry about no-code-test Techs "NOT" of any consequence? Go right ahead...you've been trying to "prove" that for years. That's your fantasy. Why don't you get OFF your computer and ON your Elecraft and "work DX on HF with CW" like a good little hamme of olde tymes? Wurst regards lil weenie, LA |

You are always saying that... :-) Betcha can't get through another long, windy post of yours without saying it... :-) You make a considerable number of factual errors, but sometimes you do get something right. Like the approximate distance from the earth to the moon. Thank you MISTAH NASA! :-) You, of course, have MEASURED it precisely, yes? :-) You are mistaken, Len. Tsk, you just can't stop saying that, can you? :-) Not me, Len. You are the one who is upset and out of control. Oil your chains, Cranky. Every time I pull them they still make all that noise! :-) Are you telling me to shut up, Len? It WOULD be good for you to take a rest now and then... :-) How do you know I'm not? The K2 is just one of my rigs, btw. You have a "btw" rig? I've not heard of that brand/model. Please describe it for us. Is it top of the line like a BMW? Is it made in Bavaria?

Have you thought of my STAYING here? :-) Are you going to shut me up, big tuff guy? :-) Why are you against free speech? Why do you ALWAYS have to shut up your opposition? You really can't stand to have anyone oppose you, can you? It would spoil the image of yourself you have. Try plain speaking WITHOUT the constant QUESTIONS. Do you secretly WANT to be some kind of "interrogator?" Have you thought of a job at Camp Delta at Guantanamo? Learn some Arabic and you could be a good interrogator. Show those terrorists who's BOSS! :-) Yank, yank, push, push, oh what a relief it is...! :-) LA |

I'll pass the warning on to them. JPL is just a whoop and a holler from my place...been there...:-) Do they have a wind tunnel? They could null him out with a bit of Newton's Third.... Too approximate. You're either precise or approximate - you can't have it both ways! He wants to have his cake and eat anyone who says he can't! Heh.....that's fer sure! More bark than bite, though...... "The squeaky wheel gets de grease" as the old saying goes. He gottum two degrease, collitch degrease. From a university that was the SECOND one to build an electronic computer... Without his help, fortunately.... Stopped watch theory. See above. Cranky ought to apply for a job at NIST. He's got an Allan Variance no one would believe! now THAT'S funny! Best one yet! Watch. Cranky will search for "Allan Variance," then start lecturing about it...("he knew it all along") Maybe not....he's got enough balls in the air already, figuratively speaking.... Note: You can lead a horologist to water but you can't make him prostitute himself... True...but if he fell in, would he be a clock soaker? Heeeeee! Five Stars for that one! Superb. :-) Thanks!
