Subject: Why You Don't Like The ARRL
From: (Brian) Date: 12/20/03 9:05 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: Dave Heil wrote in message ... You're probably right. Everyone who holds an amateur ticket likely had some incentive. Len had none. Dave K8MN Of course I'm right! ;^) Len, like any Americans who've shown an interest in the ARS, have a disincentive. It is the Morse requirement for HF access. Lennie's "disincentive" had/has NOTHING to do with Morse Code, Brain...It has to do with having absolutely NO understanding of what Amateur Radio is all about, what it's purpose and capabilities are, and what it means to be a "part" of something. He's ALL about being an antagonist. The "disincentive" was not an "ARS" or "ARRL" issue...it was a matter of the United States complying with treaties it was signatory to. Lennie is a loser. He will never be more than a sideline observer to Amateur Radio, and he was hardly more than that in his "professional" career. This I have from people who knew him personally. His "contributions" to certain Naval projects were more significant when he stayed out of other people's way and let the REAL engineers do their job unimpeded. Lennie alledges a "professional" career spanning four decades...Well, An Amateur Radio license granting access to over 97% of all allocations WITHOUT Morse Code was available for a fourth of that. So where was Lennie? Lennie makes issue about how Amateurs allegedly don't "move on" in technology. Current technology places almost all advances far above the HF spectrum. The Technician Class license has granted those privileges since 1991. So where was Lennie? One can only surmise that this "argument" about Morse for HF access is simply yet another LennieRant for "I don't wanna do it", and nothing else. If he were a TRUE leader in electrical engineering and technology, he'd be out in front showing "us" how it's done...But WHERE is he...?!?! On the sidelines...No plan...No experience...No interest in contibuting to the program. Just an observer...never a player. Steve, K4YZ |
