Indeed. You managed to cobble together a paragraph which doesn't
address my comments at all.

Tsk. One is REQUIRED to "address your comments," your
royalness? :-)

Not at all, your Foghorn Lenhorn-ness. You can type a paragraph about
regional variations in Swahili dialect in response to someone's input on
the possibilities for the introduction of errors in RTTY messages. It's
just that doing so will make you look rather simple-minded.

Tsk. Try to stay focussed. I wasn't "introducing Swahili dialect"
into anything. :-)

That's right, you introduced equally unrelated. Then again, you don't
have to address my comments ;-)

Can a morse radiotelegraph circuit introduce error or is it supposedly
free from error of any kind?

It isn't necessarily free of error, Len. Then again, I've not claimed
that it is.

Tsk. More political spin. :-)

All other modes BUT morse has errors. An absolute. Yet you say
morse "isn't necessarily free of error." :-) A decided qualified non-
statement.

Anyplace else but in PCTA haven, such antics would be called
"sinning by omission."


I made no remark about "introducing Swahili dialects." You did.

Your response was equally irrelevant.

Tsk. You tried to introduce "Swahili" in here. I didn't. :-)


Tsk. Are you saying that TTY "introduces a time lag" now?

We'll never know. You snip the relevant portions.

In Heilian logic, that's "not necessarily relevant." :-)


I have no interest in educating the rest of the radio world in anything.

Riiiight. All should revere and respect you because you Are.


All the rest of those radio services that once used morse have
dropped it for communications purposes.

So? What is that supposed to mean for the service which uses it
commonly and regularly?

Tsk. You can't see the relevence, your reverence? :-)

Morse code just doesn't have all the attributes that lie like urban
myths in the brainwashed minds of hams. It isn't faster than any
other mode, isn't error-free...all it is is a throwback to the pioneer
times of the first radios, far before the existance of anyone in this
newsgroup.


Then there are a number of radio services which never bothered
with any morse code when they began.

Did you have a point?

Yes, I borrowed Amstrong's lance. [nice sharp point at the end]

But, you will then "argue" that "this is amateur radio" as if it was
a haven, shrine, or religious temple for morse code and that all
amateurs MUST test for it...won't you? :-)

As pointed out quite a few times to you, thousands of radio amateurs use
morse daily despite what the "rest of the radio world" decides to do.

Well, isn't that spay-shul? :-)

So...because morse is the distant second-most used mode on HF
by hams, the FCC *must* test for it in order to get an amateur radio
license with HF privileges?

Most strange. There is NO other mode allocated to amateurs which
requires a separate pass-fail test for manual operation.

Ah, but YOU had to take that morse test to achieve your rank, status,
and privilege...therefore all others must do as you did.


Incorrect. I was simply pointing out that morse code telegraphy
is the SLOWEST of all modes available to U.S. radio amateurs.

Incorrect. That isn't what you were doing.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. It was very correct. You are incorrect.

Since you don't use morse
and aren't a radio amateur, why do you worry about morse throughput?

More tsk. I don't "worry" about it. I KNOW by example of history
of radio and seeing it used, hearing it used, that morse IS the
slowest form of communications allocated to hams for communications
pursposes.

But, you cannot keep on the subject and must always attack
the persons of those who disagree with you. Tsk.

You can't possibly realize how silly the above statement makes you look.

Tsk, tsk. What I said is true. Denial of your own arrogant tactics,
of bullying, doesn't help you...but you keep on denying them even
though all other readers can see it.


Lacking a few received characters in morse? Why, just fill in the
blanks. Who will know? :-)

One thing for su You won't.

Tsk, tsk. That's any easy thing to prove by recordings at both end
of a bad radio circuit relying on manual morse. :-)

But...mighty macho morsemen think that they are SO spay-shul
that they can claim anything they want to to non-morse persons
and get away with it. :-)


Why this concern about what the "rest of the radio world" is doing?
Hams aren't required to follow other services.

They don't seem to. They seem to regard amateur radio as having
its own distinct laws of physics, different from other radio. They
seem to think that discussion about federal regulations on amateur
radio should be forbidden to non-amateurs!

They seem to think that the First Amendment Rights don't belong
to non-amateur-licensed U.S. citizens.


Tell you what: You settle on a subject and perhaps we can do that...if
you can't keep from launching into personalities.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. YOU jumped into this thread ranting and raving
about "not having an amateur license" in a remark I wrote to Kim.

Your usual diatribe has been noted by all other readers and
recorded at Google message archives.


TRY to understand that the rest of the radio communications
world does NOT use morse code for communications.

Try coming up with a valid explanation as to why I should concern myself
with that.

No need to expect the impossible. Your royal mind is made up.
It is unchangeable. :-)


Tsk. You ARE seeing things that aren't there...

Incorrect. You've snipped them so they aren't there.

Tsk. You are STILL seeing things that aren't there... :-)


I'm using the Internet to send these messages. Whether that uses
radio or other means is not an issue.

We'll never know. Your snippage removes any context.

Tsk. I never introduced the communications methods used by
the Internet. One thing for sure, the Internet doesn't use any
manual morse for communications! :-)


I can't see them. You snipped 'em.

"If thine eye offend thee, cast it out..."


Very relevant. Why should radio amateurs follow the methods of
unrelated services?

Tsk. Then why do radio amateurs require all the formalism of
"correct" methods, "correct" jargon, even the "official radiogram"
forms sold by the ARRL? :-)

Tsk, tsk...all the play-acting the professional in amateur comms
as if deviation from that would mean loss of a job! :-)


Note that USE has no real relation to the MORSE TEST.

I don't agree.

That was understood. :-)


Or do you spend all your amateur radio time "taking tests?" :-)

I'll spend my amateur radio time doing what I choose. You spend your
amateur radio time....Oh, never mind.

:-)


Tsk...with role models like the archtypical PCTA extra, who would
want to be "involved" in amateur radio? :-)

Lots of folks want to and do. You haven't and won't.

Define the numerical quantity in "lots." :-)

Tsk. Look at the published numbers from the FCC databasee. You
will find that the non-morse-test licensees have grown far more than
all the morse-tested licensee numbers...and that continues to grow.

You don't accept that any more than a "renowned historian" in here
accepts it. You must defend your imperial territory of rank/status/
privilege via passing a 20 WPM morse test.


I know all about the fun in amateur radio. I know quite a bit about the
fun in usenet.

Tsk. Not demonstrated in here.


Not really. I just took a look at amateur radio. I didn't see you.

Wow! One glance and his imperiousness sees ALL!

Superhuman. [gods of radio are like that...]

Tsk. Still trying to forbid First Amendment Rights to U.S. citizens,
aren't you?

Ave, Imperator!



Is it? You've written and written and written and written. I've not
attempted to prevent you from doing so at any time. I have often
ridiculed you and laughed at you. I intend to continue doing so.

I didn't expect you to do anything else. :-)

Sociopaths usually use that rationale to excuse their behavior.


According to "Dave," one can't have ANY "interest in radio" without
getting an amateur radio license! :-)

You've been corrected on this one a number of times. You persist in
writing the same thing. It is a lie.

Tsk. I've not been "corrected." "Dave" tried to back-track from what
he originally wrote that anyone having an "interest" in radio would or
should get an amateur radio license first. :-)

Apparently some of the old State Department so-called "diplomacy"
had rubbed off since "Dave" doesn't admit to errors he openly made.
"Dave" always explains that "Dave" is "correct" in whatever he does.


You seem to have some trouble making up your mind on the issue. There
is an archived record on the subject.

I have no problem at all on eliminating morse code testing. I advocate
its elimination.

I have no problem at all on recognizing bullies and sociopaths viciously
defending their alleged "honors" in rank/status/privileges achieved by
passing a 20 WPM morse code test. There are several in here. :-)


Poor baby. You can't get used to the idea that you'll have to climb
that 5 wpm mountain in order to partake in HF amateur radio.

Tsk. You keep saying that one MUST "demonstrate" willingness to
be licensed in amateur radio?

To whom? To some dead-in-the-mind PCTA extra?

PCTA extras do NOT regulate U.S. amateur radio. They never did.
But, they keep thinking they do. :-)


Quite correct. I took a 20 wpm morse exam. It isn't possible for you
take it.

Incorrect. I could still take a COMMERCIAL radiotelegraphy license
test for 20 WPM. I have NO desire to do so, but the USA allows
that option. Tsk, for an ex-federal employee you seem strangely
unaware of licensing according to Part 2 of Title 47 C.F.R.

I took and passed written exams for the Novice, General,
Advanced and Extra.

Are you expecting to be a guest of honor at the Kennedy Center
for doing so?

It is no longer possible for you to do so.

Ave, Imperator! [old Roman statement roughly translatable to
"no s**t?!" ]

No exams are given for two of those classes. Exams very different from
those taken by me are now being used to test for both the General and
Amateur Extra.

...therefore YOU are a "superior" ham.

Here, I give you a AAAAA grade as a ham according to FDA regs.


But, it is impossible to get you to admit to an error.

I'd first have to make one.

Gods of radio NEVER make errors. They even say so... :-)


Try to play with your Orion some more. Seriously, not trivially.
Can't have a god of radio use equipment trivially. :-)

Irrelevant.

No, I'm being oscarlevant. :-)
