"Len Over 21" wrote Anything said against YOUR PLAN is worthless, illogical, inconsequential, irresponsible, irrelevant, etc., etc., etc. I knew you'd agree with me. 73, de Hans, K0HB I just happen to agree with Hans' plan. Allow the amateur to distinguish him or herself through actions rather than an FCC forced march. While I agree on the generality of that, such is impossible under the present-day Class Distinction Rules of US amateur radio. ALL perceived expertise is judged by the "amateur community" as demonstrated by the fancy-bordered license (suitable for framing) from the federal government. The Amateur Extra is the epitome of excellence. Once achieved, nothing else need be learned. Education ends. You have been told by his Most High Excellency, the Dill Instructor. All learning comes through having tiers and tiers of classes, of distinctions (enforced by law) right along with the social need of call letters written behind the name to signify a "title" all may see (and admire, respect) as if it is a dukedom, barony, or other noble rank. That is VERY IMPORTANT. Do not criticize any statements of the ruling classes of the "community." US amateur radio seems to have ceased being a hobby, an avocational activity done for personal recreation. It has become a LIFESTYLE...a True Belief. cut to stock shot of Rod Serling and signpost up ahead, voice sign-off by Rod...up theme and take black... LHA And poor Mike is getting beat up for saying the W1AW signal was too wide. It has to be me! 8^) I've done enough post testing on this to be pretty sure that it isn't me though. The Waterfall screen in Digipan functions pretty nicely as a poor man's analyzer. The signal was putting "crap" all over the place. I wasn't the only person who noticed the problem. I was not able to duplicate anything like the problem with the RTTY contest, which had many strong signals, and should have been worse if my reciever was overloading. I'm impressed with how nicely the old 745 performs. The problem - whatever it was - was in the W1AW signal. It's extremely hard to believe that W1AW could ever foul up. They are so Perfect! You must have been out of the shack, watching Reality shows too much! LHA |
