Wow! Really?!? No hams work in a business that has a Public Land Mobile Radio Services radio? No hams work on railroads or in heavy trucking or vehicle road service trucks? No hams in construction of large buildings or engaged in HVAC or plumbing maintenance of same? No hams are policemen or firemen or paramedics? No hams are in the broadcast industry using remote links controlled through PLMRS comms? Oh, I see your confusion. You thought I meant *other than on the ham bands*! Who knows what lurks in your four neurons, snarly dave? [da shadow do?] N2EY: "Besides, here's a simple, plain fact: No matter what job, educational level, employer, or government/military service that a radio amateur has, if said radio amateur opposes Mr. Anderson's views, he/she will be the target of Mr. Anderson's insults, ridicule, name-calling, factual errors, ethnic slurs, excessive emoticons and general infantile behavior." They are all on HF engaging in "radiosport" and net checking to advance the state of the art of radio and morsemanship? Did I write "all" or did you just gather it from the ether? No, nitrous oxide. In your case, nitrous obnoxide. I have to take an anaesthetic when I go in here to read all this "expert radio nowledge stuf." One needs to dull the senses down to the extra level... Just more civil debate on the elimination of morse testing, Leonid? Now all that "radiosport" and "net checking" is fun and recreational and enjoyed by many but it is hardly any sort of technical advancement or honing skills useful in case of national need. How do you know much about it--by having someone you know tell you of it? By reading about it on the web? By browsing through the pages of QST at your local library? Were you under the impression that hams are mandated to participate in technical advancement? Are there no operational skills needed by the nation? Why are you asking? In the expectation of receiving a straight answer. How do you know that radiosport and public service work in amateur radio are fun? Who told you? You are an Extra. You know Everything because you are Qualified by a federal agency, complete with pretty little certificate (suitable for framing)! You're right about one part: I am an Amateur Extra, but I now about what hams do because I am a part of it, an active participant. I don't get my knowledge of amateur radio on a second-hand basis. I know in which part of the spectrum 10 KHz is located. Did you download that firmware fact from Ten-Tec too? No, Leonard. Ten-Tec has firmware upgrades available. Would you like the definition of firmware again? No radio amateur anywhere has done anything if you haven't known about it. Awwww...now you are acting all peevish. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Worship? You aren't even baptised as a licensed ham, Leonard. Tsk, tsk, tsk, pope dave the furst become a religious sellout? The Church doesn't issue ham licenses, snarly dave. That's strange. Weren't you the fellow who brought up a particular church? You seemed to have snipped that portion. The FDA grades ham. ....leaving you to handle the degrading. Several decades of declared interest in amateur radio + over seven years of windy, condescending posts here + four years of inaction on your "Extra right out of the box" = Leonard H. Anderson, potential radio amateur :-) Didn't you forget my claim that I was going to invent anti-gravity? Haven't heard of that one. Don't worry too much though. It can't make you look any more foolish than your "Extra right out of the box" claim. I'm still working on that one, but something's holding me down... That'd seem to be a necessity. Hot air has a tendency to rise. Now sit down in front of your orion, snarly dave. Amaze yourself. I do that quite frequently, Leonid. Dave K8MN |
