Welp, if they were available, I'd use them too. Some kind of
fanatical rabid love of code develops after drinking from the Chalice
of Morse.
An epiphany strikes?
"The chalice with the keyer has the brew that is true,
the chalice with the mike has the brew that is peew!"
- from the motion picture "The Morse Jester" starring Danny Kode.
They care more about their "honor" in telling fibs of their exploits
then get totally pished at others who have had truthful
experience beyond the limitations of Part 97. Fantasyland at
times! :-)
It's all just a matter of ego.
NO!? Say it isn't so... :-)
Yup. Sad but true.
I am disheartened. snif :-)
BPL-PLC will mean an END to low-level signal reception on HF and
low VHF in urban areas but the licensed amateur extras in here
just want to FIGHT with anyone who challenges their mighty words.
Not to worry. Morse always gets thru.
Right! That's why all the other radio services rely on morse! :-)
They may have to. And amateur radio operators will lead the way to
salvation.
The Army? ["it's a Service!!!" :-) ]
They won't DO anything against the already-here problem of HF
pollution but they want to destroy anyone not believeing in their
fantasies of the religion of St. Hiram and the League-ionaires.
Just notice who's remaining in this sorry group.
Yes. Weiner von Brawn and his sidekick in PA. :-)
Wheiner (can be pronounced either "wee-ner" or "why-ner") keeps trying
to make friends.
Is THAT what the putzmacher is trying to do?!?!?
Isn't all so much fun to have a private "ham" chat room to talk all
about the space program, national economics, traveling salesmen,
the educational system, and other assorted "ham interest" items?
And arguing with CBers. They impress people wherever they go. If
they don't immediately get the attention they think they deserve, they
thump their chests a few times to make their "achievements" more
visible. I really do wish the FCC would issue some kind of combat
infantry badge to these guys.
It's called "The Blue Riffle." Comes from riffling through lots of QST
ads and product reviews, then portraying themselves as "expert"
radio heroes.
Even more bizarre is the on-going "discussion" between two extras
who have NO experience in space travel talking all about Big Issues
in Space...none of which concerns amateur radio policy! :-)
They've managed to combine "Missiles of October," and "October Sky."
Maybe one day they'll launch an Estes rocket and attain the altitude
of 1,200' AGL.
If either one cancels their Popular Science subscription, we won't
know the answers to all those profound questions of "ham interest"
policy problems.
Don't forget Popular Mechanics, and Popular Psychology. Ooops.
Scratch teh second one.
I think it's old NASA brochures and hand-outs of the 70s and 80s.
Those don't cost anything from a dump.
Well, time to celebrate the 4th coming up...and to worship at the
Church of St. Hiram who invented radio and the vacuum tube, etc.
:-)
Len
Never knew the man, but he is legend.
...celebrated in song and story forever, the founder of the Service.
A real firecracker that put sparklers in the eyes of all worshippers.
[shipping extra cost]
:-)
Kind of like the followers of Rev. Moon.
Oh, NO! Not "mooning" again! :-)
Sigmund Fraud will start making another libelous AOL Home Page
shouting and hollering all about "naked men" and "pornographic
images!!!" And, his favorite pejorative, "Liars!!!" :-)
