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. LHA Lennie: Your half-century old experiences in military communications, where, by your own admission, you never utilized the Morse/CW mode, are irrelevant to the discussion of Morse code testing requirements within the AMATEUR Radio Service in 2003. In fact, as a person who does not use the Morse code for any reason whatsoever, you are self-disqualified from rendering any judgment on the topic whatsoever. Therefore, I suggest that you stop wasting your time, find something you know something about (which from my personal observation seems to be limited to megalomaniacal, ego-driven character assassination) and talk about that, instead. You are not influencing anyone on the topic of code testing. 73 de Larry, K3LT Well, Well...Lennie is still touting his BC610 babysitting experience as being (= / ) ham radio, hmm?? While he was sitting around twiddling his thumbs and waiting for a breaker to trip so he'd have something to do, I was busily involved in operating AND REPAIRING one of the very first video tape systems in the country, among many other very interesting work activities at the Signal School at Fort Monmouth. You see, instead of sending me to an obscure, remote MINOR outpost about as far away as it's possible to be sent, And just the other day you were bragging about how you had a field job with the troopers. when I finished electronics training, the Signal School kept me there as permanent party, to work as a broadcast engineer at the educational TV station ran by the school. A most interesting and challenging assignment, indeed. Indeed. Typical duty given to sycophant students. I would have been completely happy to have stayed there for the remainder of my term of service, but my name came up for an overseas tour of duty rotation, so off to Europe I went after a year and a half. I thought you were sending CW as the ChiComs were overrunning your position? I sure do feel for poor ol' Lennie, tho, he must have had a rough go of it 'way out there in the JA boondocks with nothing to do but listen to the transformers hum and wait for another overload. And I hear those BC610's didn't overload all that often, either. Tsk, tsk. Yet all that message traffic was sent w/o touching a Morse key. |
