You couldn't buy a clue if they were three for a dollar.

W5YI's QRZ record seems to be missing the lookup counter!

Ding ding ding!

Now why would he be the only one without a lookup counter? Every other
callsign I've ever checked has one.

OTOH,
Michelle, KC0MYV, seems to be breaking all records on that account!

Naw, I've seen some really high lookup numbers.

Now, now, Kim -- don't be jealous of Michelle -- even though you have a
right to be!

Hint: Check out their birthdates....

Jim:

Just looked up the birthdates for Kim, Michelle, and Fred. Kim's is in
1955, making her 48 years old, Michelle's is in 0010, making her 1,993
years old, and Fred's is in 1935, making him 68. I must say, Michelle
is very well preserved for a little old lady! However, I guess she's a bit
too old for me now!

No -- but I'm available!

Are you finally coming out of the closet?!?!?

Lennie:

Yup! I'm coming out of the closet: I want a date with Michelle, KC0MYV!
Yum, Yum!!! She could even sell me a microphone, as long as I got to
talk to her!

That's an Amateur Extra-class 1x2 call sign, Kim. A very good one, in
fact! 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?

(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!

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.

Your "don't look now" phrase is about as old as ROFLMAO, Larry.

But at least it's mine, Kim! 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!

You're stretching now, Larry. Running out of wit, are you?

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!

My guess would be, not with one hundred dollar bills pinned to his
shirt
though my friend K3FK's adage comes to mind: "They never made a trash
can for which there wasn't a lid".

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?
