And that's where your argument falls flat on its face. The point is
operational, on the air *communications *. It's called OPERATING.

you just employed the "diversion" tactic. he was totally correct; if
the basic fundamentals of radio, which you have been totally parroting
until now, required it, then it would be a necissary requirement for
all basic electrical engineering, and it is not.

It's the BASICS, Bill.

As YOU see it.
Why aren't new hams required to show they now how to forge/smelt
copper wire, produce polyethelene insulation, make aluminum out
of scratch for antennas, etc., if BASICS were the name of
everything?


Clint your ignorance is showing again. Ham radio isn't about engineering,
its about operating ham radio. Sure, one CAN use engineering if one
wishes, and someone surely had to do some engineering to produce the gear
we all use. But if Bill's comment holds any water at all then the tests
would have been becoming harder instead of becominig giveaways.

Ham radio isn't about metalurgy pr plastics technology, Clint, it's about
OPERATING . But you amd Bill already knew that, it's jsut your NCI/CB
attitudes showing through, again.

You can always tell when Dick runs out of arguments...resort
to cheap namecalling.

I'm use to it.... it's the same thing I run into in other newsgroups
during political debates. As soon as "the other side" runs out
of arguments, I start getting the following remarks, and in
no certain order...

s__thead
hatemonger
shut the f__k up
fascist
moron
why don't you take a _____ and shove it _____ until you _____....

....plus a few other directives instructing me to take objects and do
things with them with certain parts of my body, most of which
aren't physically possible but are quite colorful.
