You have no concept of reality at all do you Vboy? I have met some stone
fox knock outs at hamfests, on the air, married and single.

There's that alternate reality. My reality is different. I've been to many
Hamfests and 5+ Ham radio clubs. Rarely are there any good looking females
there.


That's because you keep looking for "females". Try looking for
LADIES and your results may improve.


I really enjoy meeting XYL's or YLs on the radio.

I'm sure you do.


And you DON'T...?!?!


I know several serious female CW ops.
Im not going to put out calls here, because I really dont want to see them
insulted by gutless male pigs.

No need for that anyway. Hams aren't pigs...(SNIP)


According to YOU they are!


...(UNSNIP) At the few Hamfests which had pretty
females, few of the (male) Hams showed any interest. Probably only would talk
to a female if she had a callsign.


Most "pretty females" are WITH someone, and highly unlikely go to
hamfests looking to "score".

You really ARE hard up for a date, aren't you, Vippy?

Everybobdy sing now :
Lookin' for looove in all th' wrong places......

No, it doesn't count. Nobody cares. YOU are irrelevant.

Larry, that's the first time I've ever seen that challenge. I've seen the
thread, but could not find the original challenge to know what it was. I
actually thought it was something Steve had said.

I don't care to meet your challenge, Larry, and I am not the one who has
solicited challenges in the past. As I understand it, by looking here only,
I've never seen anyone say that their challenge to you (mostly on a CW
sched) was ever realized.

Oh, and the PSK-31 station is established (when the radio would be set back
up), because my hubby really likes that mode.

Oh, you mean like "disconnecting" antenna rotor control boxes with a
pair of dikes? Yes, indeed.

Is that how you highly technical CW ops handle it? Wow, I'll have to
suggest that to our ops next year...NOT!

John:

Actually, it's not as bad an idea as it sounds. We do it that way because
we leave the color-coded wire ends on the control box terminals, making
it easy to duplicate the setup the next time. Wiring charts tend to get
lost. Now, if only I could figure out a way to make my technically-
inclined fellow hams stop putting 3-element HF Yagi antennas together
with the director and reflector elements reversed! And don't suggest
that I number the elements and boom 1,2,3…that doesn't seem to cut
any ice with them!

Given any thought to color-coding? :-)

Amazing what you can do when gravity is working in your favor rather
than against you, isn't it? That wire that took six shots with a
slingshot to get over just the right tree branch comes down on the
*first* try when you cut the rope, almost as if by magic!

Yup, it sure does! And some idiot usually manages to get whacked by
the balun when it does -- which is why we pass out the hard hats!

This reminded me of the year the guy with the bow and arrow had to
leave for work before they got the wire antenna for the phone station
up. The antenna was eventually raised by tying the rope around a
hammer and throwing the hammer up over the desired tree limbs. On not
one but two occasions the hammer ended up in the Erie Canal
(fortunately with the rope still attached, which you can rest assured
greatly facilitated recovery of the hammer).

On the first such attempt the SPLASH! produced by the hammer as it
entered the water attracted the attention of some people standing on
the deck of the boat that happened to be passing by at the time. They
fixed us with an icy glare, apparently wondering of we had thrown
something at them or their boat, but after watching us for awhile they
were able to figure out what we were doing.

At that point they continued their journey downstream, and after a few
seconds their boat came around past the row of trees so we were able
to see what it said on the side of the hull in big red letters:

SHERIFF

None of us was surprised when our volunteer hammer thrower seemed to
wait longer than necessary before commencing his next toss. Once the
sheriff's patrol boat was out of range, sight, and earshot, he fired
again and nailed the desired branch perfectly. Great...one tree down,
one more to go. We walked down there, and his first shot produces
another SPLASH! Luckily, no boats in range this time (one bystander
remarked it would probably have been the State Police this time).
After another few tries he scored another bullseye and we hauled our
wire antenna (160 feet, fed with ladder line) into the air, tied
everything off very securely, and shut the gate on the chain-link
fence that runs the entire length of the park right below where that
antenna gets hung every year (makes a great counterpoise).

Every year since then, we've used one of those slingshots with a
fishing reel mounted on it. No more hammers - we don't want to spend
our food budget for the entire FD to bail one of our station captains
out of the county lockup!

Okay, thanks Larry, just wanted to clarify that.

One last other question, define "whining." Is that anything that you just
don't want to hear, or ?? Again, I am asking this actually seriously, not
fecetiously (sp.?) At least I am attempting to see your side of
it............

One could view anything that they don't wanna hear as whining, and if thats
the case I hear thousands of "whining words" on a daily basis.

Ryan:

I would define "whining" as "shrill, uncontrolled complaint, usually made on
a topic of concern to the individual making the complaint

....such as Morse code testing in the ARS?

but without any
particular basis for objection other than the subject in question is a matter
which the individual feels powerless to control,

....such as the fact that Morse code testing in the ARS is likely to go
away, sooner or later?


or chooses not to control
by virtue of the personal effort or expense involved. The "whining" is usually
directed at a person or organization the "whiner" considers to be responsible
for the situation to which the "whiner" objects.

....such as NCTAs who have the unmitigated audacity to express their
opinion on the subject?


I will admit that most mature, hard-working, industrious and ingenious people
definitely "don't want to hear" whining.

Who does?

For example, I certainly didn't
appreciate being accused of being like Hitler,

As an aside to this topic, does anyone know for sure whether ol'
Adolph knew Morse code? Just curious...

and in favor of things like
"ethnic cleansing" because I supported the concept of code testing in the ARS.
I truly could have done without hearing that, to be sure!

Well, I haven't seen you post anything suggesting that no-code hams be
rounded up and sent to concentration camps or anything like that...not
yet anyway...so I guess I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. :-)

Despite all the shrill, uncontrolled complaints - on both sides of the
issue - the international requirement is no more. The testing
requirement in the USA probably will follow suit sooner or later.
Hmmm...maybe it *is* an ethnic thing: Does red whine or white whine go
best with crow?

For one thing, it
quite possibly could have spared me the time I've spent on Usenet in the
last 14 years.

Now there's a shrill, uncontrolled complaint if I ever heard one.

Heck no! We install plug couplers on everything. that may need disconnection.
Also use different couplers for different applications to avoid destructive
mistakes.

At N2EY this past FD, the only tools needed for the entire setup and takedown
we

Slingshot/spinning reel antenna launcher
Pocketknife to cut line and electrical tape
Hammer to drive the ground rod and tent stakes
Screwdriver to tighten the clamp on the groundrod.

Wingnut on the groundrod will eliminate the screwdriver next time.


12 hours to set up, 2 to tear down!

Amazing what you can do when gravity is working in your favor rather

Yup.

SIX SHOTS? First time I used the slingshot launcher, and it only took me two.

Ahh, Jim. Just wait till the next time. First time I used a slingshot
it was easy. Most times since then have been pretty comical.

Kim:

Scroll up. You're the one who said you've never seen that I had met a
chall[enge] or a sked. So I offered one. If you refuse my challenge
for a PSK-31 sked, then you've gotta do the right thing and take back
what you said about me. However, as usual, I'm not holding my
breath.

Oh, and the PSK-31 station is established (when the radio would be set back
up), because my hubby really likes that mode.

So, what's the problem? I can get my station set back up in 10 minutes.
However, for your convenience, I'll leave my challenge open indefinitely.

Yes, that's right. And the reason it's "going away" is because of all

An "opinion," I might add, which has no basis in any actual operational
or regulatory necessity in the AMATEUR radio service.

I will admit that most mature, hard-working, industrious and ingenious
people definitely "don't want to hear" whining.

Who does?

People like Kim, Brian, Carl, Bill, yourself, etc. etc…

I dunno. I've always said that the code testing requirement would go away,
so I guess the first thing you'd have to do is find someone with a crow in
his freezer, and ask him which whine he plans to have with it when he
decides to thaw it out, roast it, and serve it for dinner.

For one thing, it
quite possibly could have spared me the time I've spent on Usenet in the

Now there's a shrill, uncontrolled complaint if I ever heard one.

Whatever you say, John.
