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.

Steve, I think it has to do with the disincentive of Morse Code
testing. You might want to check with Len on this.

Why?

Morse Code is only required for access to less than 3% of all Amateur
allocations, none of which is above 30MHz.

Lennie keeps asserting that the future of Amateur Radio is in the new
technologies, none of which is occuring below 30Mhz.

Lennie ALSO keeps insisting Amateur Radio is "stuck" in the 1930's
somewhere, yet evidence in every media indicates he's grossly mistaken. Also,
the fact that the majority of Amateur Radio activity takes place above 30Mhz
further exposes Lennie's rants for the silliness and antagonistic fodder they
are.

Ask Lennie? I could, but that would just amke the heap of unanswered
questions that much higher.

I hope you meant, "most of which...," unless we just got some lowfer
freqs.

Why not? What have you been doing with that Extra license? I hope
that you haven't been squandering a national resource.

Lennie ALSO keeps insisting Amateur Radio is "stuck" in the 1930's

See the Annual Classic Radio Issue, plus the February, March, April,
May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December
issues.

Also,
the fact that the majority of Amateur Radio activity takes place above 30Mhz
further exposes Lennie's rants for the silliness and antagonistic fodder they

Citation, please.

Humble yourself.

He's been collecting issues of QST and memorizing every ad.

That way he's going to be a "guru" and "know all about it."

He might have gotten only to the March issue.

When he got to March he started counting cadence and hasn't
been seen for a while...

At best all he can do is a parking ticket. :-)

Whatever I know about Amateur Radio is more than you can ever hope to know,
Your Scumminess...

Over 30 years of PRACTICAL experience.

Lennie has clearly indicated that he does NOT have the experience in
Amateur Radio to make an informed opinion. His technical knowledge is dubious,
no doubt the off-spring of a well-honed cut-and-paste skill.

My only "humbling" before Lennie would be to not further embarass him with
his own foolishness.

Yes, it is...and Lennie keeps providing us with more and more
netertainment...And also proves that "stupid" and "foolish" are not
age-specific acts.

You'll pardon our confusion. You've been acting as Len's representative
for a few posts now in speaking of his motivations or lack thereof. I
wasn't aware that you'd turned the controls over to him.

*Our* confusion--Steve's and mine. Steve wrote (and you snipped):

Someone should tell you that he's busy writing his own views on the
subject...in a way.
