When it comes to "so wonderfully stupid" you DO seem to have a

propensity
to get in knee deep.


Yet you're up to your eyeballs.

You've done it again.


The deepness is of your making. Please don't attribute it to me.


Sorry, Brain, if you don't like being held up to the light of day.

I am not "back-peddling" on anything.


Yes you are. Where is your original, "Sorry Hans..." statement? Huh?

No Amateur Radio = No MARS. You
have yet to disprove this.


You said, with the exception of a few "AD" personnel, ALL MARS members
are hams.

You were wrong there, too.

So easy to prove you wrong.


So far YOU haven't disproven anything.

No Amateur Radio = No MARS.

So minus your ONE example of a civilian director (BTW..He's the Chief of
MARS...NOT a MEMBER...You should learn the difference, Brain...) and the AD
personnel that I had already cited, we still have over 98% of the participants
in MARS as licensed Amateurs.

Maybe I ought to copy all this stuff and send it to Mrs. Beeper.

Perhaps
she can explain it to you. Perhaps she can also explain to US why you have

a
history of pathological lying and an inate ability to get yourself into

corners
with your mouth that your bravado can't bull you out of...


But you're the one dragging out the false bravado. I think its all
you've got left at this point. You have no honor, you have no
dignity. You just keep piling one erroneous statement on top of
another, then call me names.


No "erroneous statements", Brain.

Without LICENSED RADIO AMATEURS to fill it's ranks, there would be no MARS
program.

As for "MARS IS Amateur Radio", I again refer to your lack of ability
to think in the abstract.

I also suggest you take a listen to almost ANY MARS net frequency during
"informal" time and tell me what's different about many of the conversations
that take place there as opposed to on "Amateur" frequencies, other than
different callsigns.

Lastly, as for "dignity" or "honor", I am not the one with an honesty
deficit.

That's you and Lennie.

Sucks to be you...Or should I say "Sucks to be the two of you"...?!?!

Deleted the rest. It's been beaten already. As have you, Brain.

Steve, K4YZ

I enjoy sunshine. It feels good.

So don't pretend or insinuate that you're "exposing" me. You're no

Meanwhile, why have you been hiding from the first silly statement

What frequency authorizations does MARS have in the amateur service?

First you said it was ALL of them. Then you said it was 99%. Then
you said it was over 90%. Then you said it was over 80%. Now you're

Do you have any idea at all what you're talking about?

Equations are not abstract.

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.

I also suggest you take a listen to almost ANY MARS net frequency during
"informal" time and tell me what's different about many of the conversations

If they don't have information or traffic to pass, they should remain
silent.

Lastly, as for "dignity" or "honor", I am not the one with an honesty

Huge, huge deficit. And you keep digging.

That's you and Lennie.


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

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

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

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. He clammed
up and won't respond.

His silence is truly golden

Meanwhile, you just pollute R.R.A.P. with your constant "Liar, Liar,
Pants On Fire," rhetoric and indefensible statements such as, "
Sorry Hans, MARS IS "Amateur Radio". "

Good Grief!

Shouting all of the time, constantly repeating falsehoods, and making
false accusations takes no honor, gives no dignity.

Take a hint from Jim and when you get called on for making such
foolish and stupid statements, just remain silent.

You're broken. Best of luck getting yourself repaired.

Sucks to be you...Or should I say "Sucks to be the two of you"...?!?!

Deleted the rest. It's been beaten already. As have you, Brain.


" Sorry Hans, MARS IS "Amateur Radio". "

You ahve a LOT of airing out to do, Brain.

I'm not "exposing" anything of yours, Brain...You do that all on your own.

I am sure you consider it hiding.

You would. You've been getting your nose rubbed in your OWN "silly
statements" for the last several YEARS, now you think you've found something
you can latch on to.

You failed.

No Amateur Radio = No MARS.

As for the allocations, etc, it doesn't matter, Brain...No Amateur Radio =
No MARS.

So far YOU haven't disproven anything.


I've disproved your statement. Isn't that what we're talking about?

And that's all it takes. ONE Example!


So, YOUR assertion is tht since there is ONE person in ALL of the MARS
program, that if the licensed Amateurs in the program all quit tomorrow it
wouldn't matter........

Uh huh.

Brain, if you think you've found the Holy grail, then far be it for me to
let you down, but if you think holding on to that ONE example of ALL the
members of MARS has found you a niche, then be happy in it.

(BTW..He's the Chief of

Are YOU saying otherwise?

Is it YOUR assertion that the MARS program will function just fine without
all those licensed Amateurs?

No "erroneous statements", Brain.


Not even this one?

" Sorry Hans, MARS IS "Amateur Radio". "

You're so silly.


No, not even that one.

It stands as it is. MARS exists as a direct decendant of an Amateur Radio
program, and it exists today only because of the sacrifice and hard work of
licensed Amatuers.

It represents the very essence of what Amateur Radio is all about.

Without LICENSED RADIO AMATEURS to fill it's ranks, there would be no

MARS
program.


Yes there would be.


You think MY statement is "silly", but then you make an utterly idiotic
one.

Excuse me...ANOTHER utterly idiotic one.

It's called "informal traffic", Brain.

It's allowed.

Lastly, as for "dignity" or "honor", I am not the one with an honesty
deficit.


Huge, huge deficit. And you keep digging.


Nope. This one's ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL yours, Mr. Burke. You've proven
yourself untrustworthy and dishonest.

Live with it...Your family manages to.........

Jim, I paraphrased your statment. 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.

Is that correct?

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

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

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 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.

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. I do have a problem with inaccurately holding up soldiers as
amateurs. And the flavor of the post was about contributions that
amateur radio makes, was it not?

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

btw - ever hear of WERS?


Is this the reciprocol of Steve's Law, where

"Sorry Hans, Amateur Radio IS MARS."

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

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

were recruited specifically because they *were* radio amateurs. This
is well documented fact.

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

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

disincentive in the past, and is currently a disincentive.

The article didn't say anything about -amateur- transmissions being

transmissions authorized, and amateurs were often the operators of
such community stations, but not in an amateur capacity.

*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?


Is this the reciprocol of Steve's Law, where

"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.


Time is money?
