Subject: Able Baker Charlie
From: (William) Date: 6/19/2004 10:17 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: Ditto the number of active hams hamming it up for WWII [exactly zero (0)]. But that does not stop some from revering the contributions that hams hamming it up made in WWII [exactly zero (0)]. You made this up, right? More over, do you BELIEVE what you wrote? I ask because there is more than a small amount of evidence to the contrary. BTW, did you know that a Morse Exam acts as a disincentive to CW use on HF? And that MARS IS Amateur Radio? Hi, hi. These guys keep getting sillier and sillier. Kinda like "Unlicensed devices play a major role in "emergency comms"...?!?! Or..."I operated portable from Somalia"...?!?! And let's not forget..."I consider Len to be my mentor and I admire him"... Sheeeesh. Steve, K4YZ |

The U.S. government stopped amateur radio transmissions during WW2. Really. It was in all the ham magazines and everything. Didn't you see it? Saw it in a magazine. It could have even been a defunct magazine. More over, do you BELIEVE what you wrote? I ask because there is more than a small amount of evidence to the contrary. I don't think Brian is old enough to be alive during WW2, but I was and I believe the U.S. government shut down amateur radio transmitting during WW2. Even the ARRL acknowledges that. Really! Just like R.R.A.P. isn't Ham Radio, whatever those guys were doing during WWII wasn't Ham Radio. But there are some very confused folks here who think that "MARS IS Amateur Radio," so I guess they might also think that "Military Radio IS Amateur Radio." Who really knows what they think. It's mostly incoherent, irrational yelling. BTW, did you know that a Morse Exam acts as a disincentive to CW use on HF? And that MARS IS Amateur Radio? Hi, hi. These guys keep getting sillier and sillier. Kinda like "Unlicensed devices play a major role in "emergency comms"...?!?! No, more like "CW gets through when nothing else will..." Actually, CW gets through when everything else will. Or, that morse testing has to continue for "traditional" reasons (and because olde-tyme hammes are pished out and insist all newcomers have to "work as hard" as they did...because). An anachronism. It might also be about 26 patents when only 1 exists or shooting bears from an aircraft carrier or some Chesty Puller wanna-be saying "I was in seven hostile actions" and never revealing the When or Where of those. It could also be those old-tyme hammes who made big noises about "I design and build my own ham radios" who, a few days later would talk a lot about his latest Kit project. I've never seen orders for the seven hostile actions. They must not have actually occurred. I've never seen the schematics for the home designed (by a PE) amateur radio station. Perhaps they don't exist. Perhaps they do. Of course, those same individuals have to misdirect a thread into their oh-so-very-important-personal-battles in order to diss-and-cuss those of opposite opinions. One in particular. This thread started out about Phonetic Alphabets. The "Able, Baker, Charlie..." U.S. phonetic alphabet is familiar to me because I learned it and used it in the U.S. Army. That set was replaced by the NATO phonetic alphabet ("Alpha, Bravo..") adopted in 1955. I am familiar with that since I was IN the U.S. Army at that time, learned it and used it in military communications. That's unalterable fact despite what those weren't born then or mere infants at the time say. Strange coincidence. I learned it in the U.S. military also. The NATO phonetic alphabet was adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization shortly after the U.S. military adopted it. Some in here want to argue and argue that phonetic alphabet is called the "ICAO phonetic alphabet." That's rather petty. NATO had it first. That's unalterable fact. All the aggressive argumentation going on in here seems to be little more than a disguise to diss-and-cuss certain personalities, certainly not the subject matter. LHA / WMD No Content in all of that agressive argumentation. |

The U.S. government stopped amateur radio transmissions during WW2. Really. It was in all the ham magazines and everything. Didn't you see it? Saw it in a magazine. It could have even been a defunct magazine. Nursie apparently didn't see it. No one sent him documented proof, notarized. Everyone is LYING to nursie! Conspiracy! More over, do you BELIEVE what you wrote? I ask because there is more than a small amount of evidence to the contrary. I don't think Brian is old enough to be alive during WW2, but I was and I believe the U.S. government shut down amateur radio transmitting during WW2. Even the ARRL acknowledges that. Really! Just like R.R.A.P. isn't Ham Radio, whatever those guys were doing during WWII wasn't Ham Radio. Their "spirits" were fully into it, busy beating the Huns and Japs through mighty blows of their hand keys, air-dropping QSLs on their homelands, fighting for truth, justice, mom's apple pie and the glory of the League. But there are some very confused folks here who think that "MARS IS Amateur Radio," so I guess they might also think that "Military Radio IS Amateur Radio." Who really knows what they think. It's mostly incoherent, irrational yelling. They are Extras, hear them Roar! :-) BTW, did you know that a Morse Exam acts as a disincentive to CW use on HF? And that MARS IS Amateur Radio? Hi, hi. These guys keep getting sillier and sillier. Kinda like "Unlicensed devices play a major role in "emergency comms"...?!?! No, more like "CW gets through when nothing else will..." Actually, CW gets through when everything else will. True enough, but the codeaholic says otherwise, that morse beats all other modes, past or future. Compulsive morseodist behavior. Or, that morse testing has to continue for "traditional" reasons (and because olde-tyme hammes are pished out and insist all newcomers have to "work as hard" as they did...because). An anachronism. Yes, but all newcomers MUST do so, to "demonstrate their committment and dedication to all others." :-) It might also be about 26 patents when only 1 exists or shooting bears from an aircraft carrier or some Chesty Puller wanna-be saying "I was in seven hostile actions" and never revealing the When or Where of those.

I've never seen orders for the seven hostile actions. They must not have actually occurred. I've never seen the schematics for the home designed (by a PE) amateur radio station. Perhaps they don't exist. Perhaps they do. Irrelevant. If nursie say so, it is so. All others "LIE!" :-) Of course, those same individuals have to misdirect a thread into their oh-so-very-important-personal-battles in order to diss-and-cuss those of opposite opinions. One in particular. Most readers realize this. That particular writer doesn't. This thread started out about Phonetic Alphabets. The "Able, Baker, Charlie..."
