CB afloat .... real role models .... and ya know what ...I don't even like tuna. Doan wurra much, Tom. Pierre Goral passed away recently to join his deceased partner in SGC, Don Stoner. Puget Sound (where SGC is located) is way away from your part of the country. Easterners probably think that Puget Sound and eastern Washington isn't part of the USA. :-) Lots of HF bandspace is there in the spectrum...but hams can't legally use frequencies outside of their allocated narrow bands. The SG-2020 will tune to the whole of HF. Them tuna catchers in your part of the country (?) won't mind a bit if you enjoy your cow. Mad. Ham burghers? Moo bettah. :-) Beep beep. LHA / WMD |

Doan wurra much, Tom. Pierre Goral passed away recently to join his deceased partner in SGC, Don Stoner. Puget Sound (where SGC is located) is way away from your part of the country. Easterners probably think that Puget Sound and eastern Washington isn't part of the USA. :-) Sorry to hear about the owners ...the fellows I have heard on more that one occasion mentioned Icom 706s ..oh well ... Len I am thinking of going to the Pacific NW this summer for some sight seeing. My dad was stationed up at Ft. Lewis and I would like to see that area. He said it was the most beautiful place he has ever been. I always considered the PNW to be part of the US ...now Calif ???? Lots of HF bandspace is there in the spectrum...but hams can't legally use frequencies outside of their allocated narrow bands. Boy Len you surely have taught me a lot by that profound statement .... shoulda used as string of BTs if you were reaching for a coffee or scratching or something .... I for one find a lot of elbow room in those "narrow bands" The SG-2020 will tune to the whole of HF. Them tuna catchers in your part of the country (?) won't mind a bit if you enjoy your cow. Mad. Ham burghers? Moo bettah. :-) Na Pitts ...burghers ..... No tuna here ..some catfish and carp that taste a little muddy with just a little taste of heavy metals. Beep beep. Moo-moo .... LHA / WMD Take care Len ...73 Tom KI3R |

Way back in 1958 any U.S. civilian could get on HF without any code test or ANY other test. :-) Been that way ever since. If playing in the Citizen's Band sandbox is what appeals to you, Leonard, then on with your fun. SGC's SG-2020 HF transceiver is sold to private boat owners who don't have to take any morse test to operate it legally on HF. Not even if they buy power amplifiers to boost 20 W output to 400 W. If buying a boat in order to be able to operate marine radio equipment as a secondary hobby is what turns you on, go for it. Many, many, many government and military personnel operate on HF quite legally every day without having to take any morse test to "prove their technical ability" to be a "skilled radio operator." You're a little old to re-up, Leonard but if you can obtain an age waiver, I'm sure the military folks won't mind if you want to work some military DX or chew the fat with a military station in Germany. Have a blast. Nope...in the US of A radio amateurs aren't "real" hams until they pass that archaic morse test...sez the "amateur community." One thing is for certain. Military ops, boat owners, CBer's and the like aren't radio amateurs until they pass an amateur radio license exam. Those others folks aren't a part of that "amateur radio community" unless or until they do so. You should have that drill down by now. Dave K8MN |

Incorrect...YOU are here... In article , Dave Heil writes: After re-reading Brian's statement and my response, your comment makes no sense whatever. Poor baby. Another with intellectual presbyopia. Tsk, tsk. I had no idea that's what you were diagnosed with, Len. HAR! YOU are the one diagnosed with it... :-) Wow, now you're a medical expert too? There's no end to your depth of knowledge. Presbyopia: A common condition in humans around 40 and older where the eyeball becomes less flexible, thus requiring bifocal or trifocal lens correction for wide-range optical focussing. Intellectual presbyopia: A common condition among olde-tyme hammes of the morse persuasion whose mind has become inflexible and incapable of understanding communications they are not familiar with or not explained by the League in some publication such as "Talking for Dummies." I'll bet you've invented the second definition since it doesn't follow the things outlined in the first. No eyeballs involved. No bifocals. No trifocals. If you look at the whole thing, perhaps it'll become clear to you how you made your error. My only "error" is... Aww, you don't have to be modest, Len. considering that olde-tyme hammes of the morse persuasion MIGHT try to be civil or at least accept the fate of morse testing defeat with some grace. In that regard I was absolutely wrong and admit it freely. :-) Lots of us have long noted your civil behavior and your gracious manner :-) :-) :-) Dave K8MN |

He has the option of taking the no-code exam and I have every confidence that he could pass it. He won't though, as if he's really showing us by denying himself the license. It won't effect me one way or the other if Leonard Anderson never obtains an amateur radio license. Dave K8MN |

I agree with JJ...Lennie Anderson's personal apparatus is insufficient to get him licensed to operate Amateur Radio apparatus, so why worry about it. Even if he did get a ticket, I am willing to bet he'd take that "I Know Better Than You" attitude to the local repeaters only to find his coax the target of every knitting needle in Los Angeles County. He's certainly set the tone here... 73 Steve, K4YZ |
