Supposedly his XYL put the nix on it because she doesn't want to be

Do they live in California?


Isn't he married to Maria Shriver, marriage-related to the Kennedys?

Don't know. I don't watch Access Hollywood or Entertainment or any of that "stuff."

I appreciate and respect the tradition of CW as a
part of ham radio. I appreciate and respect most
(excluding some here in this newsgroup only) CW
operators and operation. I can't tell you how many
times I've felt quite privileged to watch a CW
operator at Field Day. I will defend to the end of
ham radio that CW is wonderful, a skill that only
few will learn and use, and that it has a rich
tradition and history in ham radio. But I will not
defend saying that having it as a testing
requirement proves a dawgoned thing, because it
just plain doesn't.


Well-written comments, Kim. So well written, there is nothing else to
add.
So I'll wait to see how the responses fall. And thanks for posting Kim's
message, Mike.

Thank you, Dwight. There will be none, save yours. The naysayers totally
ignore poignant statements and seem to like more, getting involved with the
idiocy...

For example:
Dave Heil still hasn't told me if he has ever, in any way, broken the law.
Dick Carroll still has not described the items he would need to set up a CW
station in a disaster situation.

Why should he, Kim?

Dave and Dick have nothing to prove to you, little Kimmie dear. They are
grown up, mature, adults, and you are (or act like) a little child screaming
for attention any way you can get some. Nobody in this NG is going to
lift a finger to prove a damn thing to the likes of YOU, Kim, so just forget
that, and start showing proper respect for your moral and intellectual
superiors -- you know, people like Dave, Dick, and myself!

Dwight:

And they say ***I*** have a "thing" for Kim! Sheez! Why don't you just
go ahead and propose to her right here on the newsgroup! (Keep in mind,
her OM may object!) I've never seen such sucking-up since I saw a flight
of a half-dozen or so Canada Geese devoured by a C-5B engine!

I know this may come as a shock to Kim, but Code testing isn't there to
"prove" anything at all. It is there to ensure that prospective hams have
a basic understanding of this useful radiocommunications skill. Poor
Kim -- will she ever get ANYTHING right?

As you well know, Larry, I've talked with Kim over a period of several
years in this newsgroup. I'm also one of those now having problems accessing
her messages. In this case, I happen to agree with most of her comments -
which has certainly not always been the case. Therefore, a rare, but firm,
"well-done" was richly deserved here.

But that is very different from your almost endless obsession with Kim.
Wherever and whenever she posts, you're almost always one of the first to
respond. And those responses almost always display a tinge of emotionalism,
perhaps even jealousy. Your comments above are an example of that. Are you
jealous because I've complimented "your girl?"

Don't worry, Larry. Her opinion of you isn't likely to go down simply
because somebody else complimented her. I don't think Kim's (at least
stated) opinion of you could go down much further.

I've posted responses to your sillyness on at least two occasions. That
you have problems with your news service does not equate to a
non-response on my part. Your query to me is not relevant to your
self-admission to being a radio scofflaw.

Dick Carroll still has not described the items he would need to set up a CW
station in a disaster situation.

So? What response do you believe he owes you?

She's the daughter of Sargent Shriver, who married a sister to JFK.

Now that's an important factoid. Speaking of coders and the
Kennedy's; do you think that if Ted had a knee-key...

He's also one of the most fun people to poke with a stick, just to
see what he can imagine next.

He's supposed to be a "Show Me" kind of guy. But we keep showing him
and showing him.

Maybe he's a "See No Evil" kind of guy, but he sees evil behind ever
corner.

Maybe he's just DICK.

Whew! Thanks! I will sleep a lot better tonight knowing that Kim's
