What's needed, Brain?

No Amateur Radio = No MARS

Dismissed.


Never by a punk like you, Mr. Burke. You haven't got it in you.

Steve, K4YZ


Always calling people names. There's something wrong with you.


Well...You're a punk. I see no reason to pull my punches. YOU insist on
calling me "nuts"...been doing it for several months, yet you have no degree or
training with which to validate such a proclamation. Your only "proof" is that
I constantly dog you about stupid assertions and claims YOU make.

That "Lennie is my hero" line REALLY put you out front!

So...we're even.

If you'd stop lying and hiding behind double-speak and dodging direct
questions put to you, I'd stop calling you a liar and coward, but the
likelyhood of THAT happening is, in my estimation, pretty poor.

And there we are...

Steve, quit you're silly charade. Just admit that you were wrong.
All of this sand kicking just makes you look bad - like a cat trying
to cover up something stinky.


The "something stinky" is in Ohio...Shall I come bury it for you?


I perceive a threat in that question.

snip

Steve, K4YZ


You keep making references to wanting to come to Ohio to do something
to me or for me. I suggest that you stay away.


Sorry..I was born an raised in Ohio. Never can tell when I might pass
through. Keep an ear peeled to your local repeater for me signing "mobile
eight".

As for th threat, you claimed somehting was stinky. I offered to bury it
for you. Sorry that you saw a threat in that. YOU asserted I was a "cat
trying to cover up something stinky". I don't need to tell you how I
"percieved" that...

And as for coming to Ohio to "do something to (you)"...Don't flatter
yourself. You're not worth the gas...especially THESE days...

I don't respond to most of your posts because they're not worth my

I came across this one by chance and am responding.

Or when he held up some OT amateurs who saved the day in WWII, but I
pointed out that we had no operating priveleges in WWII.


Another misquote.

I posted a historic item about the use of Morse Code by our military
in WW2. Some of the operators were hams. No claim was made that they
were operating amateur radio stations. But some folks get all riled up
over *anything* positive being posted about Morse Code, even if it
happened over 60 years ago.

btw - ever hear of WERS?

He clammed up and won't respond.


I'm responding now. You are misquoting what I wrote, probably because

His silence is truly golden

That's correct. *IF* such changes were made *in the future*, the test
*would act* as a disincentive.

Which is quite a different thing from what you wrote:

" ~Morse Code exams are a disincentive to CW use.~ "

*are* is present tense. *Would be* is future conditional tense. Your

is well documented fact.

And the flavor of the post was about contributions that
amateur radio makes, was it not?


Look it up. You obviously have more time for newsgrouping than I.

In fact I started a new thread with that post. It was a description of

don't respect civility.


Sure I do.

And right up to the part where you started in on your usual
crapola in THIS thread, I had made it a point of very carefully typing
B r i a n.

As for Lennie...the only "stops" he usually winds up pulling out
are the ones holding him and the rest of his fecally contaminated
verbal effluent back.

That he does it to himself (and now takes you along with him) is
evident. That he was once a person of accomplishment and
responsibility now fallen on his lack of character and honesty is
pitiful.

That you voluntarilly get in step behind him is laughable at best.

So...we're even.


Maybe before God, or before the Law. But in very, very few other

You're right, but not for the reason I am sure YOU think...

SO FAR we are still waiting for you to back up your assertions
that "unlicensed radio services" play a "major role" in disaster
communications.

We're also waiting for you to back up your Somalia claims. You
continue to argue that "It's true because I say it's true", yet there
should be a paper trail wide enough to roller skate on to show where
your assertions are true.

And we still have your "Lennie is my hero" thing...Whew....

So you're right...it's not "even"...

No one except everyone who knows enough about the current affairs

Radio service to make it work and sustain it.

Too bad YOU don't...Cudda saved yourself a lot of effort and
humiliation.

So a Morse Exam can only be a disincentive if it's in the future, even

"Sorry Hans, Amateur Radio IS MARS."


You don't know what WERS was, then.


The article didn't say anything about -amateur- transmissions being
allowed. There were also community civil defense type radio
transmissions authorized, and amateurs were often the operators of
such community stations, but not in an amateur capacity.

He clammed up and won't respond.

I'm responding now. You are misquoting what I wrote, probably

because
you didn't understand it.

His silence is truly golden

Time is money.


Then be succinct, and do clear up any misunderstandings right away.


Why? You don't do that.

Nope, like your pea-pod brother TAFKA Jim/N2EY saying, and I'm
paraphrasing,

" ~Morse Code exams are a disincentive to CW use.~ "

Brian,

You're not paraphrasing what I wrote. You're misquoting me.

For implementation sometime AFTER the "code issue" is resolved:


For some folks, it will only be resolved when there is no code

testing
at all.

(1) Amateur Basic.

Forty question test with access to 144mHz, 50Mhz, 28mHz,

21mHz,
18mHz, 7mHz and 1.8mHz.


Why no 80, 30, 20, or 12 meters? Why not allow 222 in hopes of
increasing
use of the band?

Same phone allocations as other licensees on HF bands.


You mean same as Extras have now?

Morse Code endorsement required for opera-
tion in lower 100kHz of any band.


Bad idea. Acts as a disincentive to use CW and digital modes, and as
an
incentive to use voice only!
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Jim, I paraphrased your statment.


No, you didn't. You isquoted it, in such a way that the meaning was
changed.

You stated, and the idea was, if
the CW exam is dropped for voice, and if retained for CW use, it

would
act as a disincentive for CW to be used in the lower 100 KHz of any
band.


That's correct. *IF* such changes were made *in the future*, the test
*would act* as a disincentive.

Which is quite a different thing from what you wrote:

" ~Morse Code exams are a disincentive to CW use.~ "

*are* is present tense. *Would be* is future conditional tense. Your
misquote changes the meaning. So it's neither a quote nor a
paraphrase.

Is that correct?


See above. Now you can argue the details all you want but the fact
remains your misquote does not have the same meaning.


So a Morse Exam can only be a disincentive if it's in the future, even
though many, many, many amateurs have posted here that it has been a
disincentive in the past, and is currently a disincentive.

And only you can say what is a disincentive in the amateur world, and
all other opinions are wrong?

When I pointed out that Morse Code exams have always been a
disincentive to amateur radio, he clammed up and won't respond.

I don't respond to most of your posts because they're not worth my
time to read.


You could have responded immediately to my direct post to your
statement about the CW exam being a disincentive.


You could have quoted me accurately, but you didn't.


Then you could have corrected it a long, long time ago.

I just don't have the time to read all the
back-and-forth between you and Steve.


Nor does Steve, but he makes an effort.


I'm not Steve. Despite your calling me names and characterizing me as
his "pea-pod brother", I'm not him. Not even close.


So you really do read all of my posts, or at least make an effort.

I came across this one by chance and am responding.

Or when he held up some OT amateurs who saved the day in WWII,

but I
pointed out that we had no operating priveleges in WWII.

Another misquote.


I didn't quote nor did I paraphrase.


That's true! You misquoted.


It would have to be presented as a quote to do that.

I posted a historic item about the use of Morse Code by our

military
in WW2. Some of the operators were hams. No claim was made that

they
were operating amateur radio stations. But some folks get all riled

up
over *anything* positive being posted about Morse Code, even if it
happened over 60 years ago.


I don't have a problem with historical fact or even Morse Code use
today.


Then why did you misquote me? Why all the fuss about the historical
item I posted?

I do have a problem with inaccurately holding up soldiers as
amateurs.


Where was that done?

Fact is, many WW1 and WW2-era radio operators were also amateurs. Many
were recruited specifically because they *were* radio amateurs. This
is well documented fact.


Silencing of the transmitters is also a well documented fact.

And the flavor of the post was about contributions that
amateur radio makes, was it not?


Look it up. You obviously have more time for newsgrouping than I.


I think we put out about equal time, despite your claim that you don't
read my posts.

In fact I started a new thread with that post. It was a description of
radio station WAR at a specific point in time. I didn't write it, I
just quoted it - exactly as written.


Cool.

Do you agree with Steve that, " Sorry Hans, MARS IS Amateur
Radio. "


I have no opinion on the matter.


You're a funny guy.

btw - ever hear of WERS?
