Some have misconstrued the essence of amateur radio as being a skilled radiotelegrapher. Others have misconstrued the term "GETTING INTO" amateur radio as meaning the several decades of interest preceeding the several years of newsgroup posts just before the three-year-old claim of getting "an Extra right out of the box". Go for it, big daddy dave. Ain't no cats on your hot tin roof. I did go for it, Len--forty years ago, within a year of my first exposure to amateur radio. I left active duty in 1956, moved to southern California in 1956, worked IN radio-electronics in the aerospace industries out here. Nope. Nothing about your obtaining an amateur radio license here. I'm still working IN it but not at regular hours. Better than 40 hours a week from then to now. Even did a severe major shift to go from illustration to electronics engineering. Kept up a hobby in electronics at home all that time. Even authored articles on electronics and ham radio as a professional writer in spare time. Became senior staff engineer at several large electronics corporations. No, nothing about your having obtained an amateur radio license here. Howaboutthat? Does that "show enough interest?" In obtaining an amateur radio license? Why, no, none at all. I'd say making a career out of an "interest" ought to prove something to anyone with more than four brain cells. Nope. Not enough to mighty big dave. To him (bless his 4-synapse grey matter) I'd have to regress and Learn To Beep Morse and become an amatoor hum wid a reel lisense. You haven't Beeped Morse nor have you Passed Any Written Exam. You've taken no action on your declared interest. Geez, snarly dave, those electroshock treatments do take away some of your smarts. Was the gunnery nurse in attendance? Did he dance well? Who lead? Who did what? My smarts are fine, Len. I wrote about getting into amateur radio. Your response didn't address that, did it?
