Unlike yours, it doesn't spell something that makes an inappropriate reference to the female anatomy for the sake of inciting prurient interest in the callsign's owner. BTW -- why aren't you an Extra, Kim? Those written tests too tough for you? 73 de Larry, K3LT |
Subject: Question for the No coders
From: (Len Over 21) Date: 8/9/03 9:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time Message-id: In article , Dwight Stewart writes: "N2EY" wrote: (snip) And amateur radio does not exist to serve other services. (snip) Our public service is often service to other agencies (Red Cross, MARS, and so on). The "pool of trained operators" thing in 97.1 is really about the idea of the ARS being a service where the licensees (hams) are skilled both operationally and technically, able to do a lot of different things well. This distinguishes it from other services, (snip) The pool of trained operators concept relates to our ability to do the other things outlined in 97.1 (public service, international goodwill, and so on). At one time, code was a necessary part of at least some of that. That is much less so today, hence the move to change the code testing requirement. Dwight, that statement in 97.1 is an OLD thing going back decades. Len, you are an old thing, going back decades. It was put in there to rationalize the existance of amateur radio among all the other very commercial radio services. You keep rationalizing your existence here among all the other very amateur operators. Three to four decades ago there MIGHT have been a "need" for "trained operators" for the military draft. [the USA still had a draft and the Cold War was very warm indeed] Never mind that the military already HAD ways of training in the "radio arts." It just says "pool of trained operators". Nothing about the Morse code or military draft or other services. Does national defense or the various aid agencies NEED amateurs who are "trained" in DX contesting and sitting around telling old war stories about when Kode Vas King? I don't think so. Does anyone NEED alleged retired nonamateurs who are "trained" in telling old war stories about their nonamateur exploits of fiftyplus years ago? (snip) And public service. (snip) I'm not aware of the use of code by any of the typical served agencies (Red Cross, MARS, and so on). Morse code use will keep out the eveavsdropers and bad people from the content of communications, thus not letting them know the deep dark, very secret ways of the ham. Secure. Watch out for those "eveavsdropers"!!! So I've been told. It seems sometimes that no one can tell you anything, Len. ;-) (snip) Besides, everything hams do is either "for enjoyment" or public service. Does that mean none of it should be tested? Huh? I thought I was fairly clear about all this. Code was once necessary for the goals and purposes outlined in 97.1. At the very least, that is much less so today (some would say it is not at all so today). That severely weakens the justification for a unique license requirement. If the license requirement is actually removed, code will then be tested on an equal footing with the other operating modes (written theory). Nothing in that is an argument for or against testing anything else. Holier-than-thou old-timers just can't live with that, Dwight! You are a holier-than-thou old-timer, Len. FCC "must" keep the "tradition" of morsemanship! shrug Are you Atlas? LHA |

It's no use trying to show reality in here, Carl. shrug These folk are obediant servants of the Church of St. Hiram and all things in amateur radio are as they were back before WW2. To show reality and all the other radio services' modes and operations is tantamount to heresy. Blasphemy, even... To quote from Leonard H. Anderson: "YOU have NO authority to call anyone anything, demean them, make fun of them, or anything else...yet YOU continue to do so. That indicates the perversity of your control-freak psychosis." What goes around often comes around very quickly. Dave K8MN |

Don't look now, but it's one of my Usenet persona trademarks, as it were. And unlike you and your ROFLMAO, It is usually followed by witty, insightful, and well-reasoned remarks on the subject at hand. And, I am not jealous of this lady at all. More importantly, her sales volume would be of little significance to me, since I am not in sales. My point was that she probably has a lot of lookups because of people remembering her call from a trade show and seeing if there's a link to the company she represented. Oh, hey, why don't you look her up and get a date, Larry. Looks like you're interested. Kim W5TIT Any normal, healthy male would be interested in Michelle, Kim. Sorry, I know you're not personally familiar with that concept from your own experience. In fact, you had to come up with your "...one step closer to extinction" Vanity call sign, just to stir up some interest. Too bad it's the wrong kind! 73 de Larry, K3LT You're stretching now, Larry. Running out of wit, are you? Kim W5TIT |

SysD. If I put it over there we can remove the engine for backup and put all the system data on SysA and SysB. The database is written and I'm near finalization on coding. I should be able to develop a test environment over the weekend. If you will create a small database of around 250 records, we should then be able to test next week. Hopefully, we'll be ready for the launch end of Q3! "Dave Heil" wrote in message ... Kim W5TIT wrote: "Dave Heil" wrote in message ...

Dave K8MN K3FK????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does that call hold some special significance for you, Kim? Dave K8MN Nope. Just like the call. I didn't understand the significance of "K3FK????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" His father was W3FK. What's with the strange stuff at the top of your post? Dave K8MN |
