Won't matter. When Len hits 20 years in the amateur service, these
guys will have 50. Len will still be "wet behind the ears." The
license just doesn't matter with these guys - it's merely their excuse
to act like idiots.

More excuses.

Yes, more excuses for the olde-tyme hamme raddio licensees
to vent their personal frustrations by finding faults (that done exist)
in others who have far more experience than they do in radio.

Right now I've got 51 years of HF radio "experience." That's longer
than you or many others have existed. shrug

Apparently, to the hamateur lifestylers, that "doesn't count." It wasn't
done with the Blessed and Sacred Amateur License, under "official"
league rules, done with absolutely right and proper protocol, all
marching in the ranks carrying the Newingtonian banner held high.

U.S. amateur radio is propagandized as a fun activity. From the way
some insist on turning it into an Armed Militia or corps-thinking
cannon fodder, that's not a good picture to paint. But, it IS a nice
paint-by-numbers kit, all designed for easy painting by others...which
they dive into, thinking they come up with a finished product equivalent
to the Old Masters. :-)

Rant on, gunnery nurse. Make sure your rant is paid on time. :-)
