Yup, dumbing it's ham radio operators down to the lowest common
denominator. Some "advance!"

Does it come as a surprise that Clint, Brian and LHA feel right at home
in that environment?

I don't know about Clint or Brian "feeling at home in any environment."

A half century ago I felt right at home working primary communications
on Army radio station ADA. Not only feeling that but BEING AT HOME
at the new site of Camp Tomlinson...barracks at one corner of the huge
antenna field. ADA never used "CW" (on-off keying), trans-Pacific or
local.

DICK, you've NEVER done that in the US Army, have you?

All you can do is demand that EVERYONE HAD TO DO IT LIKE YOU
DID but you can never offer any viable proof why they should.

Homey is a submarine radio shack. Sit back, put your feet up, listen
to the rhythm of genuine Kleinschmidts clattering away, a nice fresh cup of
coffee at hand. Copy the sked, grab your traffic, route stamp it and have
your watchstander run it. Oh yeah...
