There must be some meaning to life. Haiku. However, this pitiful collection
of words seems to point to the contrary.

see people attempt to write haiku. Haiku is a 17 syllable poem based
on a 5-7-5 syllable format. For more information about Haikus, go to

information on how to write good haiku. Here is my attempt;

there once was a ham named herman
who loaned out his PO Box to vermin
he took no guff
regarding his gaffe
and the rest of us at least smiled or oughrightly laughed

:-)

For the benefit of readers who weren't here a few years ago,
Mike Deignan once had a "residence" in Hawaii courtesy of
Jeffie Herman and his postbox of renown. :-) Deignan also
had a lot of "club" calls from Hawaii addresses...despite living
in tropic Rhode Island. FCC gave him some notices and Mikey
cancelled them.

Brian, you forgot the TITLE add-on following Jeffies' "signed"
name.

Namely, "Mathematics Lecturer, University of Hawaii." :-)

"Lecturer!" Jeffie used that a few years ago as a two-year
junior college INSTRUCTOR. Then the school had a website
with all the INSTRUCTORS listed and their classes. Ordinary
INSTRUCTOR, but he had to write "Lecturer" in here. :-)

Also, now he's supposed to be "Chief Petty Officer, USCG."

Lots of "Chiefs" in here, but Hans Brakob qualifies as a
Master Chief, USN, with some years under his belt. Very few
can approach that in experience, yet so many try to "out-title"
him. :-)

Jeffie didn't comment - also back a few years - on complex
number arithmetic rules. Complex number quantities are
essential to working with impedances or admittances for best
match and power transfer (as in antennas or stages of a
transmitter). Jeffie is supposed to be a Big Lecturer on
mathematics so I wonder why he never took up that? Tsk.

Wonder if Jeffie still lives on his little boat? :-)

You sure have a lot of jobs on your resume. Maybe 30 years of 1 year's
experience. Is there some particular reason that you couldn't have
remained stable at one place of employment for several years? Has a
job interview at a major company ever asked you that?

Also, the IEEE stuff doesn't count for much. It's just a
management-funded front organization to keep the various Colleges of
Engineering well-enrolled, chiefly by publishing overblown starting
salaries and predicting Engineer shortages (5 years from now, every
year). This has been to keep the engineers' salaries low (compare IEEE
to the AMA or ABA and you will see the difference). IEEE has now
decreased significantly in importance due to increased off-shoring of
engineering professional positions to China, India and other foriegn
**** holes, to people who don't even have BSEE degrees in the
traditional sense.

Regarding your statements on complex math: No, it is NOT essential
(mandatory) to learn for the calculation of impedances, admittances
etc.. Instead of using the x + yj complex math cartesian approach, it
is very possible to suffer through the calculations and obtain the
exact same answers using the trig. phase angle approach. Complex math
knowledge becomes 'useful' but it is only a tool that assists in using
other tools such as the smith chart. But it is by no means
'essential' or mandatory, as you state.

Never once did I need to know morse code nor did I use it to
communicate on HF...or VHF or UHF or MF or LF or VLF or in
the microwave frequency region in all of 51+ years. However, to

MUST give in to the dark side of the Force and do morse. :-)

So you can't do Morse. You sound proud of it. Hey, I can't speak
Chinese. So should I go all over Usenet screaming about how proud I am
that I CAN'T speak Chinese? Geese.


Morse and all those TITLES must be what "real" (morsemen)
hams are about...?

Then it follows that the lack thereof, are what others' are not about.
