What your amateur radio callsign, Len?

Ach, ja, der Gruppenfuhrer uf das Raddio Kops demands "to see
papers!" :-)

Didn't you just ask for Jim's papers? :-) :-)

Don't let your "diplomatic training" interfere with your attempted
overthrow of the First Amendment that prohibits us U.S. citizens
from discussing FEDERAL LAW AND REGULATION.

It is "Federal law and regulation".

You are still stuck on the fantasy that you have this little
fraternal order where You and Your Kind are the "only" ones
who can "make rules." Therefore, in your fantasyland vision,
all who are not licensed cannot discuss a damn thing about
amateur radio. Tsk. Secretary Powell might have frowned on
your fantasy world dicta. Maybe Condie Rice will buy it? :-)

Naw, Len. Me and my kind are licensed amateur radio operators. You
aren't. You can discuss and have discussed. You get quite a number of
things about amateur radio incorrect. I didn't work for Secretary
Powell and he had nothing to do with my amateur radio operation. How
did you foul that up?

Oh, and on the thread, I didn't need any amateur radio license
to get into the Signal Corps, then get assigned to a station
with three dozen high-power HF transmitters, then operate them
and maintain them.

Good for you, Len. You didn't need an "Awesome Trainer" or an amateur
license to get into the Signal Corps. Is your objective in posting here
to get back into the Signal Corps?

Operation and maintenance was NOT for
amateurs.

Sure it was, Len. I'm sure that when you first began doing such work,
you were strictly a rank beginner.

That was only the beginning for me...something that
happened while you were way too young to be responsible for
much of anything.

That's fine, old timer. I'll be happy to carry on for some time after
you are able to be responsible for much of anything. Things like that
even out. There are, of course, things which don't even out. If you
become a beginner in amateur radio, there is no realistic way for you to
enjoy four decades or more in the game. Quite a number of guys get into
ham radio late in life. Many of them are exhuberant and quick learners.
They make hay while the sun shines. Your pile of hay is quite small and
it is beginning to mildew.

I suppose you are going to go into the "ham neophyte" act again,
reprising that old, trite, very tired "I will be a 'beginner' in radio if
I ever get a ham license!" Gee-suss, herr Gruppenfuhrer, what's
to know that can't be picked up in a day...and what happens if
'proceedure' isn't followed _exactly_? Will I be "fired" for not using
"correct" language, format, protocol or all that other bull****? :-)

That's right, Len, but don't get too far ahead of yourself. When and if
you ever obtain an amateur radio license, you'll be a rank beginner in
amateur radio. You have not yet attained that status. There's plenty
to know which can't be picked up in a day.

If you don't adhere to regs, procedure, protocol, etc., you'll be at
best marked as a green op. Carry on with that and you'll be known as a
lid.
Carry it to the extreme of breaking FCC regs and the Commission can
"fire" you.

Oooooooooo...I can see the fires of a potential Flame War growing
on your side of the screen! Outrage at some "outsider" sassing
der great Gruppenfuhrer! How dare they! :-)

Outrage? I'm not even close to outrage, especially when you remind me
that you're an outsider to amateur radio. Just pace the sidelines as
you've done from the beginnings of your r.r.a.p. history.

Focus. Try to stay within a light year of the general thread. Drop
the assinine "olde-tymer brotherhood of morsemen" schtick and
outrage at "nobody talks to us hams like that!" It got tired long ago.

Let's see. You wanted to know which part of the military in which Jim
served. I suppose that makes you Gruppen-somthing of the Military
Police--you know, the guys in charge of checking everyone's military
identification in an amateur radio newsgroup. The question I posed to
you would be much more apropos in this venue. I take it that you took
offense. Well, that's nice.

A Most Pleasant Seasoned Greeting...guten abend.

That's awfully nice of you, Leonard. My mom is visiting out your way.
Perhaps I'll arrange it so that she, my sister, my niece and my nephews
can drop by and sing some carols for you. That might bring some cheer
into your existence.
