Don't bother to look towards the future...except to note the next ham club date and time so you can continue to Spread The Word. Live your proper lifestyle of amateurism. Be an ascetic.

Just for the purpose of settling a very few newsgrope irregulars who are irritated by controversy? What controversy? Not a good reason "for the service!" There's never a good reason with you, Lennie, including, it seems, your own inisistance that you were going to do it. Not that you've ever developed a reputation for being truthful... It ain't that hard. I'm aware of that. So is anyone in the public who cares to look. But it still eludes you. I say you just can't do it. You're afraid. Hell even 5wpm. So, learning a useless skill is considered "important?" Who says it's useless? You? I've never had to learn or use any manual telegraphy in 51 years of actual communicating on HF. You've never been a licensed Amateur Radio operator. Morse code skill is an anachronism. Only amateurs use it with any regularity and then those are only a few amateurs, a minority. Your definition of "a few" is interesting. Especially when actually LISTENING to the bottom end of the HF allocations. I did it and I'm no good at sort of "motor skill" kind of thing. Not a good reason for me to waste my time trying to re-enact the past. You can't "re-enact" the present. Morse Code has not been required for access to over 97% of all US Amateur allocations for over 13 years. Then get on the air some. Been there, done that, from LF on up to microwaves. But not as an Amateur. On discreet channels under someone else's station license and with modes dictated by that license. Did it earlier this year using an SGC SG-2020 on HF. [also late last year, same rig...both times very legal!] Uh huh. Big time operator. Then you can speak with some creditability here and other forums on ham radio. Impossible! "Those without an amateur license have zero-point- zero experience, don't know nuthin, etc., etc., etc., etc." With or without a license, you STILL have zero-point-zero experience in Amateur Radio matters. Ham radio works by different principles than all other radios. That's what I'm told. I don't believe them, but lots of hams do. Then you've uttered yet another lie. NO ONE in this forum has even remotely suggested that Amateur Radio equipment operates by "different principles". Thank-you for substantiating my assertion that you are a liar. Again. As far as morseodism is concerned, I'm an atheist. I don't worship at the Church of St. Hiram. Put away your collection plate and Him books. "I am only here to civillly debate the Morse Code test issue". Look to yourself and contemporaries. Improve your own standing within the "amateur community." Foster more myths and legends of the Power of Morse, use either a Wayback or Tyme Mashine and concentrate on 80 to 100 years ago happenings, idolize the Pioneers of Hamateur Raddio (well over all others in radio), and treasure the icon of icons, the amateur license certificate.

[stop bath in darkrooms...fitting] "Ohm, mane padme Ohm..." I am only here to civilly debate the Morse Code test issue". BTW, it's not a DAMN license. For once you're right about SOMEthing concerning Amateur Radio, the typo notwithstanding. It's an official federal merit badge. Makes you invincible? Ooooops...slipped back to being a putz. Bad Lennie. Not that we expected anything less, though. You wouldn't be "you" any other way. Some "professional". Steve, K4YZ |

It ain't that hard. I'm aware of that. So is anyone in the public who cares to look. But it still eludes you. I say you just can't do it. You're afraid. I'll cut Len a break in that if he does go for testing and fails, he doesn't have to tell anyone. But he has to go to the next session and try again. Only when he passes does he have to tell us. And he doesn't have to get his extra in one sitting... |

Once posted in here, such a thing will hang on for the LIFE of the sayer. It's like Posting Bans! I haven't taken my first amateur test yet. [took my last commercial operator's test in front of the FCC in Chicago in 1956]. Maybe I'm not up to it? After all, it's such a Ruff and Tuff session and I'm told there's a wash-out rate that is high. Will there be any blood shed? Injuries during the test? Do the VEC have standard obstacle courses or they individual? Will my amateur service uniform be fitted right there if I pass? Will there be a parade ceremony for all who pass later? Can I get a commemorative photo taken if I pass? Can my wife attend the ceremony? Friends? Neighbors? Is there a clergyman there at the test session for counseling all who fail? [hope it's a good Lutheran pastor] Will there be a weapons search before a test session? Can't have anyone despondent failure offing themselves. BIG EVENT! Most important day of anyone's life! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! Sorry, Bobbie, that got away again... :-) Open bands, old timer, wipe the back of those very wet ears... LHA / WMD |

So...how does Lennie treat Robert...?!?! Sorry, Bobbie, that got away again... Thanks, Lennie, for once again (three times this week alone!) proving my assertion that you are a two-faced lying scumbag. Not that I had any doubts. Putz. Steve, K4YZ |

Once posted in here, such a thing will hang on for the LIFE of the sayer. It's like Posting Bans! No, it isn't. It's like having your words come back to bite you in the ass after you've issued a foolish boast. Lennie accuses others of railing aginst him, but it's his own words and deeds that constantly undermine his "credibility". I haven't taken my first amateur test yet. No kidding! Coward. Just no other explanation for it, Dave. ... [took my last commercial operator's test in front of the FCC in Chicago in 1956]. Irrelevant. Maybe I'm not up to it? Maybe not. Definately not. After all, it's such a Ruff and Tuff session... It isn't the Ruff or the Tuff. It's getting Len off of his Duff.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! Sorry, Bobbie, that got away again... :-) Always go for the diminuitive name tactic to make you appear superior, grizzled old timer. Of course. Lennie has always made a "big deal" about being subjected to the same thing, but "HE" never does such things... Of course we know this to be a lie since neither Robert Casey nor Jim Miccolis refer to him by anything other than "Len" or "Mr. Anderson", yet we have a dozen different belittling names Lennie uses against Jim. Now he's started in with "Bobbie" on Mr Casey despite the fact that Robert has ALWAYS treated Anderscum with respect. Open bands, old timer, wipe the back of those very wet ears... Excuse me, Leonard. He already HAS an amateur ticket. Of course. And other than his GROL, which he allegedly allowed to expire (still can't figger out how an alleged "radio professional" could say he let a lifetime license "expire" without himself expiring...) Lennie has NO license....No operators permits, no station licenses, nada. LHA / WMD Gotta love that "Weapons of Mass Distraction" sig.

Just for the purpose of settling a very few newsgrope irregulars who are irritated by controversy? :-) No, Len, to satisfy your several decades of self-declared interest in amateur radio and to be able to hold your head up after your "Extra right out of the box" boast. Not a good reason "for the service!" :-) It ain't that hard. I'm aware of that. So is anyone in the public who cares to look. :-) Don't just read about it, Len. Experience it first hand. Hell even 5wpm. So, learning a useless skill is considered "important?" If you want an HF amateur license, it is considered important. You could always tackle a code free ticket though. I've never had to learn or use any manual telegraphy in 51 years of actual communicating on HF. Then again, you've never held an amateur radio license. Morse code skill is an anachronism. Sure it is, Leonard. So is AM. So is SSB. So is baudot RTTY. Only amateurs use it with any regularity and then those are only a few amateurs, a minority. Only a few amateurs using morse? You're as wrong about that as you were about Fessenden. I did it and I'm no good at sort of "motor skill" kind of thing. Not a good reason for me to waste my time trying to re-enact the past. You have to get out more. Thousands and thousands of radio amateurs use morse in the present. Then get on the air some. Been there, done that, from LF on up to microwaves. Not as a radio amateur, you haven't. Did it earlier this year using an SGC SG-2020 on HF. :-) [also late last year, same rig...both times very legal!] :-) :-) :-) Then you can speak with some creditability here and other forums on ham radio. Impossible! "Those without an amateur license have zero-point- zero experience, don't know nuthin, etc., etc., etc., etc." :-) My friend Jack has a license and experience. You don't know Jack. Ham radio works by different principles than all other radios. That's what I'm told. I don't believe them, but lots of hams do. Operating principles are not the sum total of amateur radio. As far as morseodism is concerned, I'm an atheist. I don't worship at the Church of St. Hiram. Put away your collection plate and Him books. I get it. Because you don't find anything in which to believe, the rest of us aren't supposed to take part for fear of offending you. How very PC. Dave K8MN |
