Oh, but I'm very much a part of U.S. amateur radio and I've been part of
amateur radio in five other countries. You aren't part of amateur radio
anywhere on the planet. You aren't a part of the ARRL. Your
connections to amateur radio are simply that you've commented to the FCC
about the service in which you do not participate and that you post
here.

Oh, my, another tyrant ranting away.

Tyrant? For pointing out facts? Go over that paragraph again.
Anything there you'd like to dispute?

The FCC is "not a part of amateur radio," merely the regulation of
every civil radio service in the United States.

1. The FCC regulates amateur radio. FCC staffers are paid to do so.
So at least some individuals at the FCC are involved in amateur
radio.

2. I am a radio amateur. Thus I am involved in amateur radio.

3. You are not a radio amateur and you are not employed by the FCC.
You have nothing to do with amateur radio.

The First Amendment gives me a number of rights. Exclusion from
discussing those with anyone or my government is NOT under your
control. Not at any time, herr tyrant.

When was it that you were excluded? You "discussed" (albeit one-way,
from you to the FCC) with your government. Now, force the FCC to listen
or act on your views. Maybe you can claim that your First Amendment
Rights were abridged.

There are mechanisms in the U.S. Constitution for removing the
rights of citizens. Those are called "amendments." Do you think
you could ever, with or without force, make such an amenedment?

I have no desire to make an "amenedment", you "synchophant". Why are
you so "beligerent", "Atila"?

Why do you keep trying to be a tyrant?

I'm not. I'm waiting for a group decision from you on whether or not
I've achieved radio god status.

Is that due to some mental illness? If so, get help fast.

You keep accusing others of mental illness. Ask you wife what it means
when you begin to believe that others are crazy.

Now be a good boy and go our and play in the radio sandbox with
your other "fellow hams." I hear the seven-year-old extra is nice.

We're pretty near the gist of things. There are ninety-five-old hams.
There are twelve-year-old hams. There are folks in their thirties,
forties, fifties, sixties and seventies who are hams. Those of us in
the (amateur) radio sandbox play together pretty well. You aren't one
of those hams and you don't play well with others. You can sit alone in
your sandbox.

Not at all. I spent a career as a profession in the "firield" of

are not linked. As a radio amateur, I never thought I was better than
myself as a professional. But enough of this, the issue is you. While
you worked as a professional in radio, you've never been a part of
amateur radio.

Check your wayback machine, Len. It has been well in excess of six
years.
You come off as pompous and condescending. You'd like to convince us

have us believe that we should accept your view of how amateur radio
should be regulated, yet you aren't a part of amateur radio at all.

You are out standing in your field now.

You're some kind of hobbyist. You aren't a radio amateur.

Poor baby. Still so confused, scrunching up his fat little fingers,

Hobbyists in radio are defineable as amateurs in radio if they do not
make any income from it.

LICENSES in amateur radio are required to transmit RF on allocated
amateur radio bands in order to be legal with the federal government.

Poor baby, doesn't understand that amateur radio licenses are NO
GOOD outside of allocated amateur bands. That's true. Anyone can
verify that with Title 47 Code of Federal Regulations, especially in
Parts 1 and 2..

Did you know that the federal government can operate all kinds of RF
emitters without having ANY operators licensed? True. A ham license
there isn't worth the price of a ham sandwich. No criminal liability!

Don't you just HATE it when your rant gets destroyed?

I've been involved with radio and electronics, both with and without
pecuniary interest since 1947.

Bully for you. You haven't been involved in amateur radio at all.

:-) I haven't been involved in LICENSED amateur radio.

Too bad I can't bring up Jim Fisk as a reference (he is SK). I don't
know about Alf Wilson, W6NIF, or Rich Rosen. They were rather
involved with HAM RADIO. :-)

I guess you really showed us, huh?

That's not difficult. :-)

Oh? Astronomers need to be "licensed" and take a morse test?

I don't think so. But, if your false statement makes you happy, why

[you might research "astronomy" and who spots what, but that would
make you see stars...]

You can peruse magazines and books on auto repair. Those things alone

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Riiiiight. I guess Kragen and all those auto parts stores are doomed
for lack of sales, right? :-)


Right. In order to "show interest in radio," everyone has to learn morse

Wrong. You've been corrected on this same mis-statement of yours on a
number of occasions. It is "interest in AMATEUR radio", Leonard.

Noooo, noooo. You are desperately trying to hang on but are
inexorably drawn over the edge. It's a very long drop below you...

LICENSED amateur radio is what you are trying (vainly) to say and then
only to be legal with the federal government on transmitting RF energy
WITHIN allocated amateur radio bands. As the FCC explains, an
amateur radio license is NOT required for transmitting RF energy outside
of amateur radio bands. That sort of thing is quite illegal. :-).

That's only for CIVILIAN radio services and the FCC has NO jurisdiction
over government users of radio.

But, did you know that UNLICENSED civilians can use certain allocated
radio bands and transmit RF energy without taking a single test? True!
Been several of those since 1958! Ask the FCC about non-amateur
radio services if you are too "involved" in amateur radio activity to go
look it up. :-)

Neither your decades-long "interest" nor your "Extra right out of the
box" boast of several years ago have resulted in your having taken a
single step toward obtaining even the most basic level of amateur radio
license.

Poor baby. Still angry over the past?

You STILL can't understand why I am here. I've explained it enough
times, but your have this set-in-concrete mind that can't get flexible
enough to understand. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

If you are still munching cashews from your glorious middle Africa

Right. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution states
that no citizen can comment about any amateur radio regulations unless
they already possess an amateur radio license. Right.

You've commented. End of involvement.

Not even close to the "end."

"Comments" are NOT "involvement" even in your distorted little Middle
Earth view, Frodo. [you aren't Golem, but the resemblance is there]


A number of them did merit explanation after you attempted to twist them
into something else. It is "interested in AMATEUR radio". Why do you
persist in deleting that very important word?

Sigh..."amateur" refers to an activity without pecuniary interest. The
FCC uses those same words. [the FCC granted your amateur radio
license]

The word "amateur" (with or without all-capitals) does not explicitly
say TRANSMISSION OF RF ENERGY IN ALLOCATED AMATEUR
RADIO BANDS. Your prized amateur radio license is NO GOOD for
legal transmission of RF energy OUTSIDE of allocated amateur bands.

In fact, in some U.S. civilian radio services it is perfectly legal to
transmit RF energy WITHOUT a license of any kind!!! Sunovagun!

Poor baby. Another Heilian rant shot down in flames.


You've misdefined your interest.

Not me. YOU. All wrong, Golem...er, I mean Frodo.

I HAVE defined my "interest" quite correctly.

That you totally refuse to believe it is not my problem. Yours.

Your intellectual presbyopia is glaringly obvious.

You have interest in internet newsgroup posting.

No more so than regular physical exercise. :-)

I have lots of interest in my bank. I have monetary interest elsewhere.

You have interest in outlining your past professional glories.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, very subjective use of adjectives on your part.

I've spent 51 years in professional radio-electronics activity and none
of it can qualify as "glorious." Intellectually INTERESTING, yes, and
some of it quite enjoyable. If some of it was more involved than what
you did, TS, that's the breaks of life.

Maybe your distemper is flaring up again because I got assigned to
a very large HF transmitting facility while in the U.S. Army...and got
rank and responsibility operating many high-powered HF transmitters.
51 years ago. Before your first hamme raddio license. TS for you.

You aren't involved in amateur radio.

Not involved in TRANSMITTING RF ENERGY ON ALLOCATED HAM
BANDS, true. :-)

TRANSMIT, Baggins, TRANSMIT. Like in legal RF energy within
those tight, confining HF band bounds.

I'm just advocating the elimination of morse code testing for any radio
license but you desperately want to make that some kind of grande
production of drama and pathos, a giant mountain built out of a mole
hill of your old morse message blanks. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you try such
theatrics! Do you have an interest in the theater? :-)

I'll just put you down in the same emotional category as other
emotionally-seven-year-old Extras.

Those are very "involved" as long as their attention spans last... :-)

Just get the damn license Len, it aint rocket science.

I know "rocket science" after working three years at
Rocketdyne Division of Rockwell International, the makers
of the Space Shuttle Main Engine and the F1 main-stage
engines of the Saturn Rocket (Apollo Program lifter).

I am sure that while cleaning the floors and emptying out thier ashtrays
and coffee cups, you got to know a LOT of "rocket scientists"...Probably even
picked up enough "lingo" to impress some "young thing" at a bar long enough
to get his pants off....

Tsk, tsk, tsk...ugly little comment from an ugly little person.

Members of the Technical Staff III didn't do janitorial services at
Rocketdyne. That was my work title and may be checked by
inquiry of Personell Department, Rocketdyne Division of Boeing
Aircraft [Boeing purchased the Rocketdyne Division from Rockwell
International after I left them]. My group was Electronic
Instrumentation and assisted many different project groups. My
tasks were with the instrumentation and sensor interface for
the Deformable Mirror program (part of the "Star Wars" work
spread all over the country); instrumentation for Solar One, the
50 MWe solar experimental power generation plant built at
Barstow, CA, (McDonnell-Douglas, Huntington Beach, CA was
prime contractor on instrumentation, Rocketdyne supplied the
solar boiler and underground heat storage - for darkness periods);
experimental liquid oxygen flow measurement for the SSME or
Space Shuttle Main Engine (cannot yet be safely directly
measured by any conventional flowmeter).

The Deformable Mirror program required actual deformation of
the mirror surface by actuators altering the surface by nanometer
distances accurately through an incorporated Bragg Cell dual
interferometer as the initial surface sensor and a phase-frequency
detector comparing the two interferometer outputs with a 16-bit
minicomputer program calculating the required mirror surface
information and actuators' necessary motion to achieve a desired
deformation. Deformable mirrors are now used in many astro-
nomical observatories for both focus and astigmatic correction
of distortion due to the earth atmosphere variability. My specific
contribution - besides being part of the team that organized the
electronics and computer interface - was a variation of the common
phase-frequency detector of PLLs optimized for linearity and
elimination of the very narrow "dead zone" at zero-phase. The
Bragg Cell outputs were at 39 and 40 MHz, the mixer (after
squaring) was digital. That was in 1980. The contractee was
the Department of Defense.

Solar One was a "local" project sponsored by all the Greater Los
Angeles electric power utilities. Rocketdyne's work with very
high temperature alloys and cooling with rocket engine "bells" was
a natural for the steam-generating boiler at the focus of hundreds
of heliostats (moveable mirrors reflecting the sunlight to the single
focus of the boiler). I got that assignment due to illness leave of
another MTS and the ability to work with very-non-radio Piping and
Instrumentation (in industrial applications) and the ubiquitous 4 to
20 mA wired sensor link systems and their subsequent interface
to the MacDac control midicomputer (32-bit word length). That was
in 1981.

The SSME LOX flow sensor project attempted to solve a very old
problem with conventional flow meters in that liquid oxygen wants
to "eat" any parts directly in the flow. Several attempts were made
to use ultrasonic waves directed at a slant through the main LOX
piping, that in the enormous high-level broadband noise environment
when the throttleable SSME is at working thrust (350,000 pounds
thrust at 110% throttle). After many firings at the Santa Susanna
Field Laboratories' test stand "Coca" that proved unsuccessful. The
method was eventually ruled out due to internal LOX density
disturbances that negated any sort of induced wavefront rate. At
present, LOX flow rate is inferred from relative temperature (non-
contact) sensors into a strap-on, very-high-shock/vibration-rated
computer mounted on each SSME. That same computer is the
link to/from the shuttle pilots and flight computer to control the
SSMEs. The thrust chamber of each SSME is about the size of
a small beach ball yet can provide about 175 tons of push. Fuel
is liquid hydrogen, rather more chilly than terrestrial surface fuels.
That was in 1982.

There was no sexual involvement involved, only that of connector
mating of male and female pins. To the best of my knowledge,
no "hermaphroditic" contact pins were used in any connectors.

I've also had four other [expletive deleted] radio licenses.

The best [expletive deleted] radio licenses money could buy.

All obtained from the FCC at the FCC's normal fee rate at the
Chicago, IL, and Long Beach, CA, Field Offices.
