What do you define amateur radio as?


I'm quite comfortable with the FCC definition.


Personally, I prefer the definition of Amateur Radio provided by the
ARRL, RAC, RSGB (and most other Amateur Radio organizations) - a hobby
activity.

From a regulatory perspective, it is a service provided to the public.
It's what we do with that service that makes it a hobby - and an
excellent one at that!

....although sitting on the porch with a dozen beers may also have some
merit - I'll check that one out this summer :P

Actually, K8MN *will* tell people directly. He just

He "knows where he was" but won't say where or what he

Sure he will.

He just won't tell Len.

You're starting to get it!


WE are "supposed" to take "His Word"
for it without yielding anything...
Take my word for what? *What claim have I made?


(WE don't have to be supplied with detailed answers?).
That's correct.


Note the use of the papal/royal "WE" by Len.

And the use of K8MN's last name, rather than
callsign or first name.

Any way one slices that it is olde-tyme "snake oil
salesman" BS.
If you slice it correctly, it means you don't know much of anything
about my military service. *It bugs you.


Len appears to presume that anyone who has
done something honorable will tell all about it in
a public forum like this. He also appears to presume
that failure to do so means the person has something
to hide.

In my experience, both those presumptions are
simply incorrect as general rules. Often a person
who has done something honorable does not feel
the need to blab it all over the place.

There is also the fact that if someone is on Len's
enemies list, what they have done makes no
difference in how Len will treat them. He will use
his attack techniques on them regardless of, say,
their actual military/combat experience.

This has been demonstrated so many times that
anyone with sense whom Len considers an "enemy" doesn't bother to tell
Len anything about their life
experience.

My curiousity is piqued. Why does Len feel that you how HIM any bits of
history or personal details regarding YOUR military service?


Len wants me to provide the information so that he can live up to the
terms of the very accurate profile of his actions which N2EY wrote some
years back. *It says:


"No matter what job, educational level, employer, or
government/military service that a radio amateur has, if said radio
amateur opposes Mr. Anderson's views, he/she will be the target of Mr.
Anderson's insults, ridicule, name-calling, factual errors,
ethnic/racial/religious slurs, excessive emoticons and/or general
infantile behavior."


* * * * * * * * * * * * --N2EY


Yep. But that's an old version of the profile, which has been refined
and updated over the years.

Here's the latest version, straight from the author:

"No matter what employment, education, life
experience or government/military service someone
has, if that person disagrees with any of Len's views,
or corrects any of Len's mistakes, s/he will be the
target of Len's insults, ridicule, name-calling, factual
errors, ethnic/gender/racial slurs, excessive
emoticons, orders to shut up and/or general
infantile behavior."

Sums it all up in one long but accurate sentence.

Len likes to refer to the profile as character assassination. *The
problem with that is that he can be shown to have done all of these
things over and over and over. *For it to be character assassination, it
would have to be shown that Len has not engaged in such behavior.


Exactly.

You certainly
"owe" him nothing in this regard, and other than Len is issuing some

kind of
childish grade-school challenge ("step over this line...I dare ya..")

his
queries are pointless babble.


I think you've summed it up in a nutshell.


You are correct. It clearly bothers Len that you are mum on this topic,

as
well you should be. What will Len next do? Issue another, more serious
challenge and "double dog dare you" to satisfy his perverse curiousity?


That's one possibility. Another is to accuse the
person of having something to hide, being ashamed,
or outright lying.

Keep
him guessing. It gives Len something to further grouse about...as if he
needs same.


Len lives up to the N2EY profile of his actions today as he did for all
of those years during which he had no amateur radio license. *What he
claims to decry in others, he does himself.


That's what the shrinks call "projection". Len also
exhibits classic textbook "transference" behavior,
where he attributes to one person the actions of
someone completely different.

Then there's the inclusion of obviously intentional
mistakes in Len's posts, as a way of getting attention
from those who correct those mistakes. That one
presents a bit of a moral dilemma, because to leave
the mistakes uncorrected may cause some to be
deceived by them.

IMHO, it's all about Len somehow "proving" he is
better than anyone who disagrees with him.

Name and callsign not given because of you-know-who.


Lord Voldemort?

Allow me the luxury of but a comment or two, then I shall no longer lend any
further credibility to Len by discussing this.
I've noted that Len takes, as I said, a childish, perverted pleasure in
playing word games while smiling to himself and needling others, yourself
especially. He should be left ignored.


Agreed. In the end, most people do just that. KH6HZ
was probably the first, almost a decade ago.

Len is apparently self-absorbed and,
as noted, becomes somewhat disgruntled when his diatribes go unanswered.
Len desires attention...nay...NEEDS attention as evidenced by his lengthy
posts. To ignore Len is to insult Len. He needs you far more than you need
him.


Compare the number, length and tone of Len's posts
(under a variety of screen names) and the truth
of your statements becomes apparent.

I look at Len with a sidewards, understanding glance. His comments are
bolstered by but a few in these groups and if his supporters, such as the
Myna Bird are any indication of his standing...well, that pretty much sums
it up.


I'm not sure who "Myna Bird" is, but I think you are
on target.

Len, with an amateur radio license, acts no differently than Len without
an amateur radio license.

Right. Len's inferiority complex crops up frequently. He certainly
doesn't like having it pointed out that he is a beginner in something or
that he has less experience than another. He has difficulties with
anything he perceives to be rank, class or status, but he's the first
guy to do a "look what *I've* done."

There are times when I'd swear that he sees himself as a short story

His USAF MOS (Military

It can't have been mentioned by me. I'd have pointed out that the Air
Force doesn't use the term "MOS". It uses the term "AFSC" for Air Force
Specialty Code.


Dave, you appear to be reasonably intelligent, so why do you trip and
fall over such things? "MOS" or Military Occupational Specialty is
the US Army equivalent of the AFSC.


Once again, you've misread what it plain to see. I didn't trip over the
term. Len didn't use the correct term. I provided the correct term for
him.

Dave, what was your AFSC?

I've told you a number of times that the FCC nowhere uses the word
"hobby" in defining or describing amateur radio.


The BMV doesn't list hobby driving in it's regulations, yet some
people collect and drive cars for a hobby. But the amateur radio
SERVICE is serious business - 13 second QSOs and all!


I wasn't writing of the BMV. The BMV doesn't do QSOs.


You've always had a perceptible inferiority complex.


You've always had a smug complex.


I never heard of a smug complex.

Now IN the electronics industry (where the rest of the radio
world's equipment - and some amateur gear - is designed and
made), the vast majority of those involved do NOT have amateur
radio licenses! Those involved in everyday work with radio
and electronics found it a fascinating, challenging activity
all by itself. No "ham ticket" was necessary...indeed was a
superfluous thing since amateur radio licenses are NOT needed
for the rest of the radio world.


If someone wanted to participate in amateur radio, passing an amateur
radio license exam was the only way to gain entry. That is still true
today.


Heil got one right.


"Heil" gets many right.

Passing the exams
allowed me to bypass tech school.
So you really did bypass military comms training? Exactly how did I
"misquote" you?


You misquoted me when you wrote "according to Heil" and follow it with
something I've not stated.


Yet it is what you did.


WE just don't know for sure what Heil actually did unless he
states his USAF MOS, what he worked with "in a country at war."


The Air Force does not use that term, Leonard.


The US Army does.


I wasn't in the Army.

It is "Military Occupational Specialty," the
equivalent of the Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC).


I recognized the term and I corrected Len. Thanks for doing it again.

If you're going to play
Secret Squirrel, at least bone up on the background info.


Nobody minds when Robesin gets it "half-right" about his own service
or MARS, so why the prob with Len's mostly accurate statement?


There's nobody posting as "Robesin". If you mean Steve Robeson, neither
of you has proven anything he has written about his military service to
be a falsehood.

Which of Len's statements was mostly accurate?

You're right, Brian. Jim has forty years of amateur radio experience.
Len has a few weeks at best.


I'm sure he'll catsup quick.


He'll have forty years experience in forty years.


Poor Dave has to maintain that edge of superiority.


He has a terrible personal NEED for that "superiority."


Where did you see me writing of myself? You have a terrible personal
case of inferiority.


And you have a terrible impersonal case.


Well, hot-ham-and-cheese, facts are facts. I wrote about Jim. You and
Len tried to make it sound as if I was writing about myself.

He MUST be above all others.


JIM has forty years more experience that you. You MUST have seen that.


If you were to add up all of your 13 second QSOs, how many years of
experience would that be?


For that to be accurate, one would first need to make the inaccurate
assumption that my QSOs were all of thirteen seconds or less. Time
spent listening also counts. Finally, there's little chance that I'll
be going through all of my logs and presenting a statistical analysis
for you and Len.

The Latin phrase "Primus inter pares"
suits him ("first among equals"), a Latin oxymoron of all things.


You aren't Jim's equal in amateur radio or civility. You're a beginner
in one and you have yet to practice the other.


It looks like you have an opinion. How nice.


That wasn't opinion, hot-ham-and-cheese. That was fact. Both
statements can be easily proven.


To CHANGE MY MIND, I'd had to have made the statement that
hot-ham-and-cheese attributed to me. His big dilemma is that I didn't
make such a statement. Oh deary me. What will he do now?


I don't believe you...


I'm supposed to react in what way?

...so I'm sticking by MY statement even if you can't
stick by yours.


I never made such a statement.

Oh! But NOT in amateur radio newsgroups! No, NEVER, according
to Miccolis! Once one says something, regardless of how long
ago, to Miccolis that is a LIFE GOAL Never To Be Changed!


You've been caught with your brogans in your yap on a number of
occasions, "Anderson". A smarter being probably wouldn't bring further
attention to himself by braying about it.


So how's your run for the Roanoke Division Directorship going?


I've never announced a run for anything.

Len is a guy who holds an Extra license. What class of license do you
hold? ...does Jim hold?


Oh, Len holds a license of the same class.


Indeed. Yet the FCC has no requirement for experience. Len has
gained radio experience via a lifetime of operating in other
services. Weren't you the one who said that amateur experience
allowed you to bypass military comms school?


Brian, it only works ONE WAY, Heil's Way.
Sort of like "Heil's Way or the highway." :-)


The Air Force technical schools award one the "3" skill level, an
apprentice level. The Bypassed Specialist is also awarded that same
apprentice level. Further on-the-job training along with bookwork are
the way to the journeyman or "5" level. I completed the same OJT and
study course as every other "5" level candidate. It wasn't my way or
the highway, but the Air Force way.


Thank goodness it wasn't the amateur way...


It wasn't the Tech School way either.




When someone proves that amateur radios
work with "different" laws of physics than all other radios,
I might consider myself as a "beginner." Until then, the REAL
difference between amateur radio and the rest of radio is just
some man-made adminstrative details...and from the ham bigots
busy with self-righteous, I-am-so-important-because-I-know-code
sneering and insulting of new licensees.


That attitude won't help you in gaining experience in amateur radio.
Amateur radio is not solely concerned with the physics of radio. The
fact is that you are a beginner in amateur radio. You have much to
learn. You aren't an instant expert, Len.


Nor are you an expert, even after 40+ years.


Then again, I haven't claimed to be an expert. I'm still learning new
things.

Really, what were you doing working out of band Frenchmen on 6 meters?


I was really operating right where I was permitted to be. Have you
assisted in bringing those French scofflaws to justice yet?

Now we've heard from the anonymous "John Smith". Well "John", what is
it for which I haven't the sense? Is it that I haven't the sense to
care who is asking or are you stating that I haven't the sense to be
ashamed of my military service. It has to be one of those. Either way,
your comments don't make sense.

He is a noble hero in his own mind...


I've never claimed hero status and in fact, I've denied hero status
here. Your statement goes *poof* !

...a petty

That's another interesting take you have, "John". A couple of
characters want me to disclose information on my military service. I
haven't provided it, yet the quizzing doesn't stop. Where is the
bickering coming from? You have no information on whether I'm a slob of
any kind, but you're quick to make such a claim.

You haven't disclosed much about yourself, "John". Feel free to send
Len and hot-ham-and-whatever your military service information if you like.
