In article , (Stevie Stalker, Exxtra Ethnic Cleanser, swallowed his Fleet Kit and barfed up the following shortie) : Subject: FCC Morse testing at 16 and 20 WPM From: (William) Date: 7/19/2004 6:04 AM Central Standard Time Message-id: 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. 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.
