Copernicus still thought the earth was the center of the universe and he
came up with an elaborate mathematical system to explain the apparent motion
of the planets in the sky including the "retrograde" motion.

It was Galileo who showed that the earth was not the center when he spotted
the moons of Jupiter and determined that they orbited that body and not the
Earth.

(But, as I and others have previously said, the decision should
NOT be based on a popularity contest in the community of
incumbents, but should, rather, be based on the sound judgement
of the FCC as to what's regulatorily necessary and good for the
future of ham radio.)



The FCC is not all that qualified to judge what is good for the future of
ham radio. Many of the staff are not involved in ham radio. They are a
government body whose purpose is to regulate the various radio services so
that they can coexist. There purpose is not to maintain ham radio or decide
what is good for it.

Nope. I've worked AC6XG at least twice, both times on CW. Once was on
Field Day (20 CW) and the other on the rrap net on 7037 kHz.

The rrap net on 7030 kHz???

Is that where you PCTAs send "secret messages," safe from the
prying eyes/ears of the no-coders??? :-)

Sheesh ...

I had my witches coven put a curse on her.

Something has sure happened. After I posted that message, I ran into three
or four other messages posted by Kim that resulted in the same error message
(all posted after the message I replied to). Very odd.

Dwight, you need to upgrade your computer's AntiCurse software. :-)

I got mine through the Hogwart's on-line store. University rates, too!

NO! Say it isn't so, mighty morseman!

Hasn't that been disproved?

Ahem...read Brian Burke's quotation again, please... :-)

Too bad Ayn Rand didn't write about ham radio...shrug... :-)

She wrote about railroads, and by extension, telegraphy.

One of Ayn Rand's novels is titled "Atlas Shrugged." Shrug. :-)

...provides an opportunity for ops on six meters. I've observed the
phenomenon before. Your're in New York. You point your beam north and
you start hearing somebody in Florida. You figure you're hearing him
off the back of the beam and turn it south to bring up the signal,
only to have it disappear.

Much of this activity happens on CW. Voice signals get distorted a lot
due to the effects of all the ionization in the aurora itself.

John, though 6M is worth mentioning, it isn't HF and these guys don't
care. Its all about using fast CW on HF (to them). Brian

How do you manage to be wrong so often, Brian? I worked about forty
Europeans on 6m this past week. About half of those QSOs were made on
CW. About half of the CW QSOs were made using relatively slow speeds.
Those contacts were not made using Aurora. Had they been, all of the
QSOs would have been made using slow CW.

So far, the only people here claiming that "it" (whatever "it" is) all
about using fast CW on Hf are you and Len. Len isn't a ham. What's
your excuse?

Kim, I don't know what is going on with your newsgroup messages.
Many
of
your messages are listed as no longer on my server very shortly
after
you
post them (sometimes just one or two hours later). The messages are
listed
in my message list of this newsgroup, but I get an error ("message
no
longer
on server") when I try to read them. For everyone else, I can read
messages
they posted many days ago.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know what is happening in case you
post
a
reply to one of my messages and don't get a response. It's not that
I'm
trying to ignore you - I just can't read or reply to your quickly
disappearing messages (I caught and replied to this one before it
disappeared)
