If it strikes the Yell Yell Marine, he's got the right to use lethal
force.
Not quite the epiphany I had in mind.
According to Yell Yell, nobody, absolutely NO ONE can possibly
know a damn thing about amateur radio without passing a little
test, receiving the nice piece of paper with a fancy border (suitable
for framing), and then coming on like a Dill Instructor with a mouth
full of pickle.
Apparently, one gets a Full Knowledge (or something like that) on
receiving that call sign. Perhaps a subtle divine voice from on high
that imparts all the smarts on hum raddio to the fully licensed?
Poor guy can't separate the reality from his murine fantasy of the
"amateur corps."
"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.
Danny Kode was superb. Alas, they are making color movies today.
Morse is colorless. It fits. Morse is 160 years old. Didn't even
have motion pictures back in 1844.
But, according to Yell Yell and his kin, ALL amateurs MUST know
morse to gain "the true knowledge" on passing the Test. For a hobby
activity.
There's lots of ANGER floating around the newsgripe...yelling and
yelling at those who didn't do EXACTLY like the Kodies did or
embrace "the service" like it was a murine corps.
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!!!" :-) ]
W1AW will be on the AM boradcast band, but in CW. Everyone will be
standing in line to have a bfo installed in their
Pioneer/Kenwood/Panasonic car stereos.
Riiiiiight. :-)
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?!?!?
In a dysfunctional way. His only means.
There's at least two putzmachers in here. May the fnortz be with
them and their attempts at purity and ethnic cleansing.
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.
Ging once, going twice...
:-)
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.
Like those old Air Force pubs Yell Yell was claiming I got my military
experience from. He probably reads them at every CAP meeting.
Yell Yell was a Murine. That sums it up.
All else are inferior...unless the else are code-tested extras. :-)
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]
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!!!" :-)
That goes hand in hand with the code problem, except without the
peanut butter sandwiches.
