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. Not just "more experience" but "far more experience". Right now I've got 51 years of HF radio "experience." That's longer than you or many others have existed. shrug And when you were in your twenties, thirties, forties and fifties there existed on the planet those with far more HF radio experience than you. After your passing from this mortal plane, others will catch up with your experience or surpass it. Your experience will have stopped cold and theirs will go on. Most of those folks will exist after you have ceased to exist. That's just the way life works. 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. You've gotten all tangled up. There's no Blessed and Sacred or any of those other things. There are those with amateur radio licenses and there are those without. You've declared an interest. You've posted here for about nine years. You've not taken a single step toward obtaining an amateur radio license. 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. :-) Well, Old Master, the cannon fodder, Armed Militia, paint-by-numbers stuff just marks you as a crackpot non-participant in amateur radio with a newsgroup fetish.

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. Not just "more experience" but "far more experience". Far FAR more! Centuries! Millennia! Billions! Right now I've got 51 years of HF radio "experience." That's longer than you or many others have existed. shrug And when you were in your twenties, thirties, forties and fifties there existed on the planet those with far more HF radio experience than you. Fantastic! Mother Superior is RIGHT again! The light shining from your brilliance is blinding... After your passing from this mortal plane, others will catch up with your experience or surpass it. Your experience will have stopped cold and theirs will go on. Most of those folks will exist after you have ceased to exist. That's just the way life works. Ah, but the Olde Wuns, the Olde-Tyme Hamatuers will LIVE FOREVER! They will never cease! They are Immortal! Legends! You've gotten all tangled up. Only when in the company of Immortal Superior beings such as yourself. No mortal can survie the onslaught of the Superiors! There's no Blessed and Sacred or any of those other things. No? I'm disappointed. The Church of St. Hiram doesn't exist? There are those with amateur radio licenses and there are those without. Far more without than with. Sorry, Mother Superior, but that IS true. [put away your ruler, no spanking of knuckles...] You've declared an interest. In ALL radio. Worked at it. Changed majors to become an engineer. Did it. Retired successfully. You've posted here for about nine years. That long? Oh, my, it has seemed an eternity... :-) You've not taken a single step toward obtaining an amateur radio license. "Not a single step?" Tsk, tsk. I've walked into an HRO store. Two of them, in fact. Bought a nice Icom R-70 in the first one. Paid cash. Oh, yes. I forgot! Ordinary mortals aren't ALLOWED to speak their mind in here if they don't have that blessed amateur license! Forgive me, Mother Superior. Well, Old Master, the cannon fodder, Armed Militia, paint-by-numbers stuff just marks you as a crackpot non-participant in amateur radio with a newsgroup fetish. "Cannon fodder?" I was in Signal Corps in the Army, not Artillery. "Armed militia?" I've seen militiamen in here but all seem to be mental paraplegics. "Paint-by-numbers?" Never did that. I'm also a professional illustrator. Don't need them. "Crackpot?" I've never done any ceramics but have seen it done. Some pots did get cracked. Sort of like the posters in here. "Old Master?" Nope. Can't take that title at all. It would cause you all sorts of grief and charges of Title-Stealing! :-) Say hello to the other gods on Mt. Olympus for me. Have fun looking down on mortals in the Summer Olympics. :-) LHA / WMD |

Fantastic! Mother Superior is RIGHT again! Don't be surprised, Leonard. It happens frequently. The light shining from your brilliance is blinding... For a man who finds it blinding now, you seemed to have a little difficulty with the concept earlier. After your passing from this mortal plane, others will catch up with your experience or surpass it. Your experience will have stopped cold and theirs will go on. Most of those folks will exist after you have ceased to exist. That's just the way life works. Ah, but the Olde Wuns, the Olde-Tyme Hamatuers will LIVE FOREVER! They will never cease! They are Immortal! Legends! Oh? Is this is the part where you drift off course into your California Crackpot personna? You've gotten all tangled up. Only when in the company of Immortal Superior beings such as yourself. No mortal can survie the onslaught of the Superiors! What in the world are you babbling now? Is this more of the "You're a god/You're no god" skit? There's no Blessed and Sacred or any of those other things. No? I'm disappointed. The Church of St. Hiram doesn't exist? Don't you know? You're the person who began using the term. There are those with amateur radio licenses and there are those without. Far more without than with. Yep, and you're one of those. Sorry, Mother Superior, but that IS true. [put away your ruler, no spanking of knuckles...] You'll get no disagreement from me. Most of 'em don't feel the need to plague an amateur radio newsgroup. You've declared an interest. In ALL radio. That's incorrect. It is either that your memory has slipped a cog or else it is an outright falsehood. Worked at it. Changed majors to become an engineer. Did it. Retired successfully. Bully for you. What is all of that to amateur radio? You've posted here for about nine years. That long? Oh, my, it has seemed an eternity... :-) You should be on the reading end of your stuff. It seems longer than an eternity. You've not taken a single step toward obtaining an amateur radio license. "Not a single step?" Tsk, tsk. Tsk, tsk indeed. Not a single step. Nuttin', nada, zilch, zed, zip. I've walked into an HRO store. Two of them, in fact. You can't buy an amateur radio license. Bought a nice Icom R-70 in the first one. Paid cash. Congrats! You're an SWL. Oh, yes. I forgot! Ordinary mortals aren't ALLOWED to speak their mind in here if they don't have that blessed amateur license! You've spoken your mind. Your ideas have, in general, been found wanting. Forgive me, Mother Superior. Well, Old Master, the cannon fodder, Armed Militia, paint-by-numbers stuff just marks you as a crackpot non-participant in amateur radio with a newsgroup fetish. "Cannon fodder?" I was in Signal Corps in the Army, not Artillery. You brought up the term. "Armed militia?" I've seen militiamen in here but all seem to be mental paraplegics. You brought up the term. "Paint-by-numbers?" Never did that. I'm also a professional illustrator. Don't need them. You brought up the term. "Crackpot?" I brought up that term. It suits you. I've never done any ceramics but have seen it done. sorta like your experience in the world of amateur radio, huh? Some pots did get cracked. Sort of like the posters in here. Don't be too hard on yourself, old shard. "Old Master?" Nope. Can't take that title at all. It would cause you all sorts of grief and charges of Title-Stealing! :-) You brought that one up as well. Say hello to the other gods on Mt. Olympus for me. Have fun looking down on mortals in the Summer Olympics. :-) Still mixed up on that god/no god stuff? I won't look down on athletes participating in the Olympic games, much as licensed radio amateurs are participants in amateur radio. Been to the U.S. Olympic team's newsgroup? Maybe you can advise them on how best to regulate things. You could be a sort of self-appointed advocate for somebody-or-other. Dave K8MN |
