Len, like any Americans who've shown an interest in the ARS, have a disincentive. It is the Morse requirement for HF access. Your claim might ring true if Len had bothered to obtain a code-free ticket at some point. He hasn't. Of whom are you speaking, old man? Your name is Len, isn't it, grizzled older man? I've had HF access several times in the last half century, all legal, all involving actual communications. No amateur license was required at any time. No morse skill needed whatsoever. Your memory must be failing in your dotage. Amateur radio is the topic. It is?!?!? I thought it was all about vehicle codes under the subject heading of "Is Michael Jackson Innocent." Why would you comment about having had HF access several times in the past half century to someone's post concerning Michael Jackson? That wouldn't make sense. I thought it was all about national economy, presidential politics, the antics of State, and general subjects that must be dear to hamhearts everywhere that do NOT touch on amateur radio in all those other threads. Why would you insert comments concerning having HF access several times in the past half century to posts about the national economy, presidential politics, the Department of State and such? That wouldn't make sense. Your HF access of the past isn't an issue this time around. Neither is the HF access I had from a Ventura marina a few months ago...again (for at least the 5th time) without requiring any amateur radio license or knowing morse code. See, you're oscillator is drifting again. Your HF operation from a marina had nothing to do with amateur radio, did it? Why did you think those here would be interested? You seem to have a one-track mind. The discussion should be about the federal regulations for an amateur radio license regulation, not the individual "motivations" of any aspirant to an avocational radio activity. Maybe you feel that's what it should be about....but it isn't. It seems to be about ANYTHING EXCEPT amateur radio. It seems to be all about Kolonel Klunk wanting retribution for some imaginary wrongs done to his psyche in here. It does? Do you mean those exchanges where you knew more about State Department embassy communications operations, practices and objectives than those who were actually employed to do the work? Do you mean your antics regarding Key Officers Lists? You came off looking as silly in those as you do in attempting to set the agenda for amateur radio ops. You constantly insist on personalizing everything about those who do not share your holy and illustrious viewpoints. I neither do it constantly nor with all others. You personalize many discussions here. How do you explain that away? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Yes, I copy down the screen name of the individual I am replying to...call that "personalizing?" :-) I call it an example of your dodging a question because a truthful answer would have embarrassed you. That is your problem and you continually foul this newsgroup with arrogant remarks against the person of those of opposite opinions. Not my problem but certainly yours in attitude. It doesn't seem to be a problem for me, Len. At the moment, judging from your reply, it is one for you. Deal with it. I did already. You got what you deserve. Be happy with that. Amateur radio is supposed to be a recreation, a fun activity involving radio, licensing required only because of physics of EM waves and federal regulation. It is all of that and more, old gent. Yes, to you. To you, amateur radio is a wondrous experience where you may have title, rank, privileges beyond your wildest dreams, of doing things that mundane professionals could never do by constantly recreating the past in the future and pioneering the HF airways. It is your Lifestyle. Yes, to me. That's because I am a licensed radio amateur. It is obviously less than that to you. You aren't a licensed radio amateur. Ho hum. You can feign boredom. If amateur radio bores you, why do you persist in haunting a newsgroup which discusses amateur radio? Instead, you've turned it into a battleground of your own, arrogantly demanding adherence to your personal view- points. No, I've not turned amateur radio into any battlegrounds nor did I note your presence on any of the ham bands this past week. Is it now a requirement to "have presence" on ham bands in order to even speak of amateur radio? You've spoken of amateur radio here but you are unable to participate in amateur radio. you said I've turned amateur radio into a battleground. I haven't. You know nothing of what I do, have done or am likely to do in, for or about amateur radio except for what you can glean here or from a number of web pages. Is the FCC requiring all Wireless Bureau staffers to have amateur radio licenses in order to regulate U.S. amateur radio? That matters not at all. You aren't one of them. You join several others in here in so doing, some past, some present. That's counter to the original purpose of "the service," isn't it? Or is it? Are you confusing amateur radio with this newsgroup? Is it your opinion that I'm required to quietly accept your guff? If I have to "accept" your guff, then you have to accept mine. That is pretty evident. I'll continue to point out that you have no stake in amateur radio. You're a bystander. YOU deal with it. [in your own quaint SS manner, of course] Well, Foghorn Lenhorn, it pains me to no end that you've again resorted to your usual tactics. Perhaps you embody modern amateur radio, a constant striving for leading the pack in competitive activity? A competition complete with taunts and jibes and outright insults against those who "challenge" your arrogant expertise? If so, there is no wonder that amateur radio has not increased in number commensurate with the growth in population. Well, old chap, it looks as if you're wrong in your assumptions yet again. No, old chop, I don't "assume" anything. I tell it like it is. You'd first have to *know* how it is. You plainly don't know. You are just another arrogant control-freak wanting others to be subservient to your viewpoints. You can't accept a damn thing if it isn't in line with your holy opinions. The statement above is more likely to be true of: 1) one who has been a licensed radio amateur for four decades, interested in the well-being of the service? or 2) one who has never been a radio amateur but who claims that his ideas for amateur radio licensing are the right way? It is a cinch that you don't embody any of amateur radio--past, present or future. Absolutely TRUE. I've been a professional for over a half century. Spiffy! Be as professional as you like. You're still on the outside of amateur radio. Herr Robust must think that professionals are not required to have any recreation. Is it that way in your SS? Watch TV. Play Canasta. Listen to a scanner. Take a drive in the countryside. You professionals need all the recreation you can get. of which you accuse others. You are--what is it you call it?..."beligerant" toward radio amateurs who tire of your tales of life at ADA a half century ago. So...if the U.S. Army hasn't been using OOK CW on HF for six decades, that is "tiring?" C-O-M-P-R-E-H-E-N-S-I-O-N. Noooooo, you tales of it are tiring. Your belligerence toward radio amateurs is tiring. You must not be tired. You must be in coma. You are not conscious of anything that has happened in the last six decades. Because I'm not up to date on what happened at ADA fifty years ago? I can't quite remember the full six decades, Len. Then again, I'm not quite 55. Enjoy your little clique of morse code uber alles in amateur radio where the "bands" are only on HF. Feel superior that you've met all the criteria and standards established by long-gone amateurs of past times. You are important, superior, vital, and that is all that matters. I enjoy morse code, SSB, FM, RTTY, Pactor and several other modes on MW, HF, VHF and UHF. My "little clique" numbers hundreds of thousands in this country alone. I haven't noted your presence. You wouldn't note anything. All you can see is your own glorious, glowing presence radiating back at you. But I *have* noted it, Len. I've been a part of it. You haven't. No problem. YOUR presence hasn't been noted in any professional writings or periodicals. Do you subscribe to all professional writings and periodicals? You should be demanding that ALL test for high rates of morse in order to become fully FDA licensed as a ham. Condemn all those who cannot learn, will not learn, nor share your opinions. Morse or no morse, consider yourself condemned. "Condemned" only to calling an asshole an asshole. Do you use a cellphone to communicate with your opposite end? Not very holiday-like but it is true. I don't see you a very "holiday-like" kind of guy, Len. May Santa bring you an irrepairable intermittent in your favorite HF transceiver along with a truckload of dusty, high-sulphur-content coal in your stocking. Merry Christmas. Do you really know of any irrepairable intermittents? Yourself. ....and you think I'm an HF transceiver? Dave K8MN |
