If you're the next guy, I'm much more privileged than you. Pass the exams, Mr. Cheese. You too can be more privileged. Mr Deignan's priveleges went beyond those authorized. Riley had to reel him back in. Put him on the straight and narrow... but he's still got a big mouth and a Hawaiin callsign. By the way, I scarfed up a number of DX calls. I hope you don't mind. Not at all. You were there, Mr DX. I approve. Mr Deignan was there in PO Box only. Did you loan out your PO Box to folks who wanted a cool Tanzanian call sign? Did you get a cool Guam call sign having never been to Guam, then pretend to Lecture people on how to run their amateur lives? |

"KH6HZ" wrote in message ... "KC4UAI" wrote: So, do I consider myself an expert in all things Ham Radio by virtue of my license class? Nope Oddly enough, virtually all the "extras" I met during my tenure as a "non-extra" didn't consider themselves Einsteins either. Now that I'm an Extra, I do not consider myself an Einstein either. It seems that only a small subset of hams (and non-hams) who post to this forum seem to run into these self-proclaimed Einstein Extras. But then, if you read their postings long enough, you'll begin to understand that this bias towards Extras really isn't due to the fact these extras are self-proclaimed Einsteins, but rather the fact that these Extras passed a 20wpm code test at one point or another. 73 kh6hz I believe the bias goes even deeper. Even if code were not an issue, that bias would still exist simply because the Extra has met a higher written requirement too. Dee, I believe you are the first Extra to recognize that not all writtens are the same. Since the beginning of the code debate, and now with the passing of the code exam, we are made to believe that the writtens are a mere insignificant formality and all the real content was in the code exam. Of course that's not true. Thank you for being and Extra and pointing that out. You are a No Code Technician in spirit! In today's society, it seems to be politically incorrect to have acquired more knowledge than someone else. Dee, N8UZE Never. Just don't equate the Extra exam or having Extraness as if it were an engineering degree. We'll get along Quitefine. |

That doesn't make any sense, Mr. Cheese. I've never had a French radio amateur tell me that he is operating outside his authorized frequency allocation. That's good because it would make no difference to you. You'd tell him where to send the greenstamp(s). In fact, I've never had a French (or any other nationality) radio amateur make a point of telling me that he is operating *inside* his authorized allocation. I'll bet you've never had one tell you that he's operating outside his frequency allocation, either. |

Really hair-brained stuff. Hair-brained, was it? Did your mom ever take the "hare brush" to you? Dave K8MN Do you think Ed Hare is back, posting anonymously? could be I supose but not liked unless his once decent sence has burned out by his working with BPL I'm supposed to be bowing to Dave's superior ability at splitting hairs. I can only hope he didn't skin his knee. I've split a few hares in my time. Dave K8MN Some think that's all you do. |

In today's society, it seems to be politically incorrect to have acquired more knowledge than someone else. You're probably correct. Now that the morse requirement is gone, the focus will turn towards something else. What I've observed (particularly in this forum) is a great deal of resentment towards extra-class operators, coupled with derogatory comments regarding morse-code and its use as a licensing requirement. The whole claim of "Einstein Extras" is one mere example. There are people who are in all walks of life who think they know everything. That some of those people are bound to have extra-class ham licenses. 99.99% of the time when I encounter those types of people, I do my best to avoid them, and do not let their ignorance cloud my judgement against an entire class of person. It is too bad some folks in this forum cannot do the same, and enjoy interacting with others, rather than going out of their way to be combative and antagonistic. 73 kh6hz |
