In article , (N2EY) writes: In article , "Clint" rattlehead@computronDOTnet writes: sending and receiving CW isn't a building block to anything else..... Yes, it is. First, it's a building block to the use of the mode on the air. Although other services have pretty much stopped using Morse Code, hams use it extensivley, and an amateur license is permission to operate an amateur station, not a station in another service. Roger that, Reverend Jim... Who is "Reverend Jim", Len? You and Brian Burke keep using that name to address someone. Tsk, tsk, tsk...you've never seen "Taxi" then... :-) I've seen most episodes of Taxi. My name's not Ignatowksi. We've all seen your prodigious output here in the Newsgroup. And we've all seen your even-more-prodigious output here in this newsgroup, Len. Under a wide variety of AOL screen names - nocwtest, lenof21, averyfine, averyfineman, lenover21, and probably more. I have never used "Avery Fine" as a screen name. "Len Of 21" is my primary AOL screen name. Someone else has "No CW Test." I have used NO other screen names in here. My real name and current mailing address is the same as it appeared many times as bylines in Ham Radio Magazine. Not me. I use a variety of communications modes. Of course you do. You are a true-blue amateur who believes in all the guidance of the ARRL and the purity and sanctity of morse code following all directives from Newington to the letter.. The only REAL fear is yours, because you desperately want to know, but I won't tell you. What "REAL fear?" It is NOT anything about the tuff tawk in here. :-) Since you won't say, we just put you closer to the BOGUS boys. But what's really relevant is what a person has done in amateur radio. I've been an active, licensed radio amateur for almost 36 years - operating, building stations, writing articles, elmering, etc. You wrote a few basic articles for a now-defunct amateur radio periodical and have never held any class of amateur radio license. Oooooo...! Was that supposed to "hurt" big fella? :-) I got a COMMERCIAL Radiotelephone license in 1956 (only one test needed) and had a career in radio-electronics design since then. You will no doubt have to say such is "irrelevant" for lots of reasons. You don't want to admit your occupation's firm name or what it does, so you try to denigrate all those who aren't afraid of naming where they worked or where they worked or what they did at work in detail. You want to diminish the efforts of Ham Radio Magazine founders Skip Tenney and Jim Fisk and their TWENTY TWO YEARS of successful, INDEPENDENT newsstand publications. Why? Tenney is a radio amateur. Fisk is deceased and his old call (W1HR) is now used by a club in Jim Fisk's honor. You keep wanting to say HR is "defunct" as if that is somehow unclean. You weren't published in HR, Jimmie. You got as far as "Electric Radio," a non-newsstand periodical for a special interest group in old radio. Did you ever write for Electronics magazine (McGraw-Hill's old biweekly)? I did. Did you ever write for BYTE? I did. I've written for Microcomputing and Call-A.P.P.L.E. about more avoactional and recreational activities concerning electronics. That's not me, Len. It's you - except the ""peans to morsemanship" are "diatribes against Morse code" in your case. Someone has to counter your religious evangelism about morse code and its "necessary" testing. :-) You're projecting your own reactions and motivations onto others. Classical transference behavior, really. Nooo. The most I've been "projecting" lately are some Power Point presentations. :-) "you *MAY* have bootlegged in 1948 and before!" Maybe you did - and maybe you didn't. When did you last engage in a homosexual act? Same sort of "question." I will say categorically that I have *never* bootlegged - that is, operated illegally. ...as far as we know...but then you will not reveal ALL that you do... Can you say the same thing, Len? I can say anything I want. Whatever that is, if I don't religiously praise morse code, you will find some fault with it and write yards and yards of copy manufacturing all sorts of nonsensical "arguments." All you want to do is to selectively use my messages as an ignition point for a Flame War. Nope. Incorrect. YOU didn't exist in 1948. That was 55 years ago. Irrelevant. Anything before your birthdate is "irrelevant?" A very elitist, arrogant attidude. Tsk, tsk... Sounds like you're getting angry, Len. If you don't have a checkered past, there's nothing to admit. Your anger *may* indicate a guilty conscience....;-) I once took a Checker cab. I've played checkers. I've watched many a checkered flag wave at the end of NASCAR and CART races. What I did at 13 is much more than you had done at age 14. You MUST say that anything you've done at anyone else's same age is "better." :-) Did you win any International contest awards at 14? :-) By February 1953 I was already (at 20 years of age) a soldier serving overseas, assigned to an Army radio station with the callsign ADA. I was with ADA for three years. Fascinating - you were 14 in 1948 but 20 in early 1953. 15 in early 1948. Between 20 and 21 in 1953 depending on month. Why are you so concerned about minutae in years? Looking for another TROLL opening for more FLAMING? Of course... You've never served in the armed forces of the United States, much less "assigned overseas." I never claimed to be. How is that relevant to amateur radio or bootlegging by 14 year olds? You are the one featuring BOOTLEGGING, Jimmie. That's a main subject with you? Why? You've made fun of my military service in the past. [that's in Google, by the way, you seem to live part of your time there...] Where? Produce the post. I was posted to 8235th AU in 1953 and stayed there for 3 years as one of the many who worked ADA, the primary communicaations station for the Far East Command. 24/7 service via HF. You've not done anything close to that. For example - how about the way you made fun of Jeffrey Herman's Coast Gurad shore station radio operating? You civilians will never understand that former military persons can joke about their military branches because we all KNOW what military life was like. You CANNOT. The USCG has NEVER done HF communications in any magnitude approaching either the US Army, US Air Force, or US Navy. That's a fact. You want to be honored a respected for being safely within in the USA borders, never serving. You want to make fun of those veterans who who don't love your blessed sacrament, morsemanship. Not me. But you sure do demonstrate the principle of "can dish it out but can't take it". No problem. You want to throw food in a food fight here, go ahead. If I care to do so, I can toss it right back at you with increased tonnage and far better delivery. Go to someone else to attempt a flame war. The answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. 1967 - 42 = 1925. IRRELEVANT. Only a few are interested in a dead, DEFUNCT, British fantasy novelist who was a darling of a few eastern anglophiles. Sorry, but it was all a flash in the pan, then goodbye. Don't try to pass that off as "science-fiction," it will never play at the SFWA. Is being an amateur somehow bad? Amateurs do things for the love of the thing alone. And a few of you insist your amateurism is "better" than anything the professionals could ever do. You are not a radio amateur. Nor have you ever been. And that's a fact. I've been a PROFESSIONAL in the electronics industry. That's a fact. I've been a hobbyist in electronics. That's a fact. I've done military communicaations for three years a half century ago. That's a fact. I've done commercial communications as a civilian. That's a fact. You have NOT done any of the above and that's a fact. I don't venerate or worship or glorify morse code. That's a fact. I don't fantasize or pretend that any amateur "needs" an out-dated skill in any radio just to get a license to operate. That's a fact. I'm willing to state anything I've done, barring NDAs or national security subjects and that's a fact. You are unwilling to state anything in any detail of what you have done in radio or electronics for a living and that's a fact. You try to amplify minutae into gigantic "arguments" over nothing and that's a fact. When you act civil and rational, then I might discuss things with you. That's not a fact because it hasn't happened yet. Now fire up your Time Machine and go back to the Past in radio that you love so much. Bye.... |

Now, now, you are looking into the mirror again when you write. :-) It is now quite obvious that you have no intention of ever obtaining an amateur radio license exam. That is YOUR suppository, er, supposition, Herr Standartenfuhrer. Why do you continue to post these lengthy diatribes having nothing to do with amateur radio? On the contrary, YOUR lengthy diatribes address nothing but an attempt to suppress dissent and to "get even" with being taken to task two years ago on your braggadoccio of radio expertise. You've never forgotten and want vindication. You get none. This makes you whiney and petulant. Poor baby. The restructuring in amateur radio is not yet complete. More needs to be done to bring US amateur radio regulations closer to 1980s standards (it had been at 1950s standards, more or less). You and a few others who achieved their "qualifications" (!) from high-rate code and 1-by-2 or 2-by-1 callsigns cannot take the new rules and insist that all be "qualified" under the old ones or you will not "recognize them." Those who do not accept YOUR definition are objects of your highly-negative, follow-the-law-as-it-is-NOW criticsm. Just the same, in other threads on other subjects, Herr Heil hasn't spoken out on any technical subjects that can affect policy of now or even later...except to go on at length on a non-relationship of surname Heil in regards to microphones. [ for shame! 'real' hams don't bark into microphones! :-) ] Have you nothing else in your life? Considerably more, four-neuroned-brain Heil. The attitudes of national socialist partei one-by-twos who think they are wielding two-by-fours of arrogant superiority make the prospect of "proper" and "right" licensing unattractive to be placed at the top of any agenda. YOU are in such a category by public observation of anyone accessing this newsgroup. Perhaps your many years of public service at the State Department have made you oblivious to the fact that the FCC (that's another government agency that regulates civil radio in the USA) sets licensing standards for US radio amateurs. It also grants licenses. It granted yours (apparently). The US amateur radio community does not grant licenses...nor does it "rule" on the "motivations" it thinks citizens have in regards to radio licenses. You seem to think that you "know" everything about those who post contrary opinions to yours. Have fun in your self-important ignorance, go ahead and post more of your "hate" allegations as if you represent the entire US ARS community. I don't care to message with you further (as if I ever did to your libelous postings), Herr Standartenfuhrer. I'm going to a college reunion. QRT. didit END QUOTE |

In the quoted post, you do not mention your name, address, or other identifiers. Just "Avery Fine" and nothing else. Some people would say that you were trying to conceal your identity. But your hostile persona comes through.... Yet you GRASP AT STRAWS in trying to light up a Flame War to satisfy your childish pique in here. "Childish pique"? You're the one shouting, calling names, making fun of other people's jobs, military and government service, education, technical achievements, geographic location, gender and sexual orientation. Pretty childish stuff you post here. Like rewriting the reference line of that quoted post so that Dave Heil's name becomes 'Sig Heil'. Really mature stuff, Len old boy. Me, I'm simply correcting your mistakes. You said you never used a certain screen name, and I proved you to be mistaken. In error. Wrong. Incorrect. Live with it. Tsk, tsk, don't play with matches... there are others here who have flamethrowers and you could get severely burned. Sounds like a threat. That's at least two so far. It is clear you wish to kill the messenger, for the unspeakable crime of telling the truth and proving you to be in error. (apparently).

"Herr Heil" "four-neuroned-brain Heil" "national socialist partei one-by-twos" "libelous postings" "Herr Standartenfuhrer." And you say I "pollute the contents"?

(Len Over 21) wrote in message ...
In article , (N2EY) writes: " wasn't you? Why do you ask? Because you told us that you hadn't used any other screen names "in here" besides that long list of AOL ones. I haven't been able to use Mog-Ur's EMS BBS in years... 7, to be exact. Tom closed it down after being one of the first 10 BBSs in the USA. He had Internet access for about a year until it got too expensive and subscribers left to go directly on the Internet. Tom Tcimpdis (easy Greek surname, just pronounce it like it is written), KC6MLR, television video director, twice won Emmys for outstanding technical direction ("Night Court" series, "Sinatra, the Man and His Music" special). Built his own BBS to start with years and years ago from a Heath H8 microcomputer, had to write his own software to get it going as a Bulletin Board System. Had a fairly good side business of custom personal computer systems, may still do that. Private pilot, multi-engine rated, a road rally sportsman from way back. You can see his picture on QRZ.com...:-) Quaffed a few with Tom at the 94th Aerosquadron Restaurant at Van Nuys Airport, a regular hang-out for several San Fernando Valley BBS members of the 80s and 90s. Is there a point to all this besides your trying to avoid the fact that you forgot yet another screen name you used in rrap? "Mog-Ur" is a character name taken from the novel "Clan of the Cave Bear." Actually, it's a title. The character's name is Creb. "The Mog-Ur" is a title/function he performed in the Clan. "EMS" is an acronym for Electronic Message System, in use in computer-modem communications before EMS for Emergency Medical Service became standards.. "Mog-Ur's" survives on the Internet today after more than 20 years of existance. Is there *any* relevance to all your verbiage? Someone asks you the time, and you give them directions to Boulder and a long diatribe on the development of the various atomic standards there. My real name and current mailing address is the same as it appeared many times as bylines in Ham Radio Magazine. How is anyone to know that when reading your newsgroup posts? Do you need ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, authenticated by some federal agency?!?!? Go look in the FCC ECFS...under all the RMs from 10781 through 10787 and FCC 03-104. The listings have my postal address and my AOL address. Doesn't answer the question. How is anyone who reads a post by " " " " " or " supposed to know that all of them are one and the same person - if, indeed, they are? Particularly when your name does not appear anywhere in many of them? Why should they believe you when you say you have not posted by other names, when it has been shown that your list of screen names left out at least two that you have used? Those articles are well over a decade old, and "ham radio" (no caps in their logo) magazine hasn't published a new issue for years. Tsk, tsk, tsk. HAM RADIO Magazine, There are no capital letters in the logo printed on the magazine covers. They did the e.e.cummings thing. "ham radio" is the name of the mag, not "HAM RADIO". Just look at the cover. an independent amateur radio interest periodical (50,000 issues a month) lasted for TWENTY TWO YEARS solely on the basis of advertising space sales. That's not correct. The magazine subscriptions cost money, so they did not exist "solely on the basis of advertising space sales" If the subscription/newstand price was $20 per year and there were 50,000 subscribers/newstand buyers per month, that's a *million dollars* of revenue from subscriptions. Back when $1,000,000 was a lot of money. Existed ""solely on the basis of advertising space sales"? I think not! Were that true, the subscriptions would have been free. Like most industry magazines. Also, I seriously doubt that the mag was 50,000 copies/month for the entire 22 years. Publisher Skip Tenney finally sold it to CQ Communications and probably retired. Founding Editor in Chief Jim Fisk (SK, ex-W1HR) wasn't around to help keep up the interest of the readers of a technically-oriented magazine. IOW, it ultimately failed in the marketplace. Too bad - it was a good mag in its time. Why do you live in the past so much? Both CQ and ARRL sell a three-CD set of all 22 years of HR for $150 (shipping extra, always an extra with ARRL). Lots of good technical information in there. The newest of which is well over a decade old. Many of the parts used in the projects are now made of unobtanium. A complete set of QST is also available on CD. Every issue, all the way back to December 1915. Almost four times as long as "ham radio" QST is still being published - the oldest still-published radio magazine in the world. I've written for QST. You haven't. Why should anyone believe your calims when you can't even remember your screen names? Someone who posts as much as you do would ordinarily remember such things. Ah, being the NEWSGROUP KOP! Just asking a question. And pointing out your mistakes. btw, it's spelled "cop". Well, then Mister Kop, why don't you just make yourself Emperor of the newsgroup and RESTRICT ACCESS only to those whom YOU APPROVE. Until that happens, THIS newsgroup is still open to the public. Is there a rule against asking questions? Or pointing out when someone's statements are demonstrably mistaken? I've been doing computer-modem communications since 1984, 19 years in all...as a subscriber, as a Sysop, as a co-Sysop, and as a public forum moderator. But you're not the moderator here. I'm NOT going to remember everything anymore than you can over nearly a two decade span of time... Nobody expects you to remember everyhting. That's what Google is for. We do expect, however, that you behave in a civil manner and not be so nasty when something you write is proven to be a mistake. AND THERE IS NO DAMN REASON TO REMEMBER EVERY PICKY LITTLE DETAIL TO SOOTHE YOUR IMAGINED PERSONAL HURT. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Poor angry baby! ;-) No "hurt" on my part at all, Len. You're the one who is shouting and carrying on. I'm just asking simple, direct questions. And pointing out a few mistakes. I have this nice card punch at the ready. Just hand me your "TS card" and I will punch it for you...:-) Sounds like another threat. Can you not resolve differences peaceably? You may imagine yourself as a modern Jondalar or Creb, but you come off like Broud and Attaroa. Would Doni approve? I think not. Gotta go! 'Ayla' just gave me "the signal"!!! |
