A lot of people have told me exactly that, but I'm sure there are some who share your view that I'm out to lunch. Life's a bitch, and then I'll die and they'll give my call sign away. Do you really think I ever said you were out to lunch?. If I disagree with portions of you plan, that's a big part of why we're here; I've pointed out what I don't like (and even some parts I thought were okay).....Wow, I'm a thoroughgoing *******, eh! Your responses have been belittling and insulting for the most part. If statements like "lifes a bitch..." and "that's a novel idea" as a synonym for stupid and definition games are the best supporting arguments you can make for your proposal, it isn't going to go too far.

In article k.net, "Dwight Stewart" writes: What does Jim's story have to do with license testing? Simple. It shows that the FCC has very wide authority to set license test criteria, including such concepts as "character" and "discipline". Merely passing the tests is not the only requirement for a license grant. Normally the FCC assumes that all applicants for a ham license are "of good character" unless there is a reason to suspect differently. I think FCC could indeed legally implement Hans' one-shot learner license with its upgrade-or-out provision. Their argument would be that someone who was a ham for 10 years and yet c/wouldn't pass the full-privs test simply didn't have the required "character" or "discipline" to stay in the ARS. Hoo, I wonder how that would stand up in the courts! 8^) - Mike KB3EIA - |

No problem. Again with the profanities, Lennie? Len, what's going on here? There were no outrages when Hans just called someone an a-hole. Hans is not the one professing to be the ex-professional author and "radio professional", Brain. If you're going to "brag" on some personal characteristic or past achievement of your life, you should be ready to stand behind it. Your "mentor" has made a point of insisting on what a "professional" he is in both electronics and publishing. I think his conduct herein belies his real character. Clear enough for you? Steve, K4YZ Very clear, sort of. Basically, if one is not making a claim to be a professional or speaking of an achievement, he can be profane without being profane? Sounds like more worm words. That's what a worm uses. |

The "upper classes" and royalty get to swear, vomit profanities, demean and denigrate the lower classes because they all passed 20 WPM code tests. It's the blue blood of the ruling amateurs. If you don't admire and love and cherish their noble accomplishments, they turn blue and use blue language. None others may do the same to them. Maybe not blue, it's more like they are inviolate. Stebe gets all red in the face and insists all are green with envy for not being able to "radiate RF at great power" somehow allowed to him alone. He's not yellow, doesn't shirk from trying (vainly) to defend himself when he pales on thinking he's been insulted. Of course, any former E-5 or higher that thinks "asshole" is a terribly profane word must be of the sissy pink coloring. It's a gray area... LHA Hope he never sees a copy of Cinderella Liberty. I think Hans starred in it. |

However, any public service performed is informal in nature, not the result of any regulatory stipulation imposed by the FCC or federal government. There is nothing in part 95 that mandates public service like that found in part 97. OK, Dwight quote paragraph and section that states that amateurs MUST do public service. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |

Stewart" writes: "N2EY" wrote: It shows that the FCC has very wide authority to set license test criteria, including such concepts as "character" and "discipline". (snip) Nonsense. It would be virtually impossible to test character or discipline in a radio license test. The FCC hasn't done it and probably wouldn't ever attempt to do so. Point is, FCC has a wide latitude as far as testing and license requirements goes. You may not like the concept but The Congress does. Didja know that in 1940 FCC required all US hams to either sign a loyalty oath or turn in their licenses? While not exactly a "character test", you can bet that some hams' backgrounds were checked. Such things seemed far-fetched a few years ago. Not any more. Nice talking to you, Jim. You too, Dwight. 73 de Jim, N2EY |

Thank God for small favors ! ! ! ! 73 Steve, K4YZ So you think God is keeping Len out of the amateur radio service? It may well be, Brian. After all, the man has declared a several decades old interest in amateur radio but he can't bring himself to act upon the interest. Our modern "Moses" may not be able to enter the promised land.

Jim obviously isn't a DX'er, or he'd know about the infamous "pileup police" shenanigans regularly heard around 14.023 +/-.
