of information that supports their evangelism, they will want to
scrap with anyone about it and its veracity. :-)

Real hams. Not these wanabees we have today.

Not real hams. Amateur Radio was suspended at the time, unless you
consider a real ham to be one without operating priveleges.

And hopefully they weren't operating WAR using W3GRF, W0DX,
W9BRD/VA3ZBB, W0US, or other callsigns.

Hey Dan, tell me about these wannabees we have today. C'mon Dan, tell
me about them.

If you unzip very slowly you might get your tie out w/o too much
damage, hihi.

Hey look everybody....another CBPlusser.

Dan/W4NTI

DAn, I never held a license that said "plus" on it. You'll just have
to do better than that.

The image of the lone morseman with headphones and hunched

Er, I mean, "Lennie." Sorry. How come the "image of the lone morseman
with headphones" is so predominant, if it is not true? In virtually every
depiction
of WWII-Era military communications, the mode being used is Morse/CW.
I know had have known many WWII-Era military radio operators, and they
were all able to use Morse/CW conversationally at speeds in excess of
50 WPM. They told tales of pulling duty watches in which they spent the
entire time with headphones on listening for message traffic in CW. While
they have also spoken of the use of radioteletype, for the most part, that
was used only for the most routine, non-secure message traffic, and mainly
within the CONUS between military installations and defense manufacturing
facilities (which were on a landline net).

Your credibility is zero. You claim that Morse/CW was essentially
unheard of as a primary military communications mode, when, in fact, all
of the evidence is that exactly the opposite is true.

OK. You hate CW. We get it. There's no need to make a barefaced
liar out of yourself to prove your point.

Leonard H. Anderson has never had a problem with misrepresenting
the truth even when the evidence to the contrary was plentiful and
well known to all concerned.

That he feels compelled to continue to make a mockery of his
"character" and humiliate his family name so readily in a public forum
should be adequate evidence that this old man is NOT dealing with a
full deck.

He's ill. That's all there is to it.

OK. You hate CW. We get it. There's no need to make a barefaced

Ooooooops! Too late!
