OK, fine. Hans made a mistake.


No, Jim, I didn't make a mistake. I just overstated my case by 2%. I
said "over half" (51%) when I should have said "damned near half" (49%).

grin

Ah yes. I made a mistake about your mistake, Hans :-)

51% to 49% is about the overstatement of Mr. Kerry vs. Mr. Bush, earlier this
month...

Steve, on the other hand is completely mistaken when he claims "AH0XX"
is a call which would sequentially be assigned to an Extra licensee.

whatever. I'd still think the system is broken.

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.

So...that means that if we can use this sampling as a basis for
survey,
the available 2 x 2 Extra Class calls falls far short .......


Perhaps a review of RF Exposure Guidelines at your station is in order,
Steve. When that's complete, along with any medical attention indicated
as a result, then perhaps a review of the FCC sequential callsign
assignments (as they pertain to license class) is also in order.

You can be as insulting as you care to, Hans.

The FACTS are that you made a stupid assertion that was easily refuted by
a
bit of time spent researching the database.

Extra class or othrwise, your "greeater than half" assertion is/was
wrong.


OK, fine. Hans made a mistake.

The bigger question is: Should we put up with the system as described?

Seems to me that all that would be required to fix it would be to require that
FCC would only issue or renew licenses for those persons who were either US
citizens or resident aliens. And all VEs must meet the same criteria.

That way, N3KIP can have his license and US military personnel can take their
exams in Tokyo, but the giveaway stops.


Who dies if nobody does anything about any of it? What's so broken
that it would even remotely draw more than a muffled snore from the
FCC? Gotta luv it: The Great Ham Radio Callsign War of 2004".

Who's been elected to write the request for the NPRM . . ?

Well, you brought it up, so I guess it's your baby, Brian. Let us know
how it goes, but whatever you do, don't use latex.

I always attributed it to post-Marine can't-make-it-in-the-real-world
traumatic stress syndrome. ;^)

I guess it could be RF induced, though.

When you do that research, you'll find that "2 x 2 Extra Class calls"
don't exist in the KH/KL/KP blocks. A 2 x 2 style call in those groups
indicates a Technician or a General. Do the math.

Lots of Techs. No Morris Code Test.

Nonetheless, if I were a DU or JA or OH or DL going to score a cool
trophy callsign, "KH0XX" is a hell of a lot trendier than "KF4XXX".
And speaking of OH, you or I can't obtain a KH3x call sign (Johnson
Island), but a Vice President of NOKIA (Finland), OH2BH, holds the rare
call AH3D.

Thought he was VP Nokia China?

And Hey, no fair talking about the elitists. You'll get into trubble
for that. ;^)

Legal. Must be! Does "legal" mean "right"?

Sunuvagun!
