Kim, he's not like that on the air. Maybe Dave should go back to
giving out signal reports.


Well, he'd need to learn the difference between an interstate and an
intrastate first...


It seems that you entered the conversation with the confusion when you
responded after Jeffery Herman wrote:

It's paid for with federal funds, thus it's part of the federal
interstate highway system. It's no different from Interstate 405 in
California: It begins in LA and ends in San Diego -- it never leaves the
state yet it's yet it's still an "interstate."

By the way, the Yahoo url with all of the swell information about
intrastate telephone calls was most helpful.

Wow! Is that a "requirement of radio knowledge" to be a "superior'
radio amateur?

Is there a "WAI" (Worked All Interstates) for mobile hams?

I would suppose that a junior college instructor could call themselves
a "part of the University of
Hawaii system" and that they "lecture on mathematics" if they hold
classes under that instructor.


The semester begin tomorrow -- I'll be teaching a calculus class at the
university campus (which is not a "junior college"), 8:30-9:20 MWF,
Keller Hall room 403. The class is full but I'll let you register,
if you think you can handle the class.


Me handle your class? Why should I do that?

Can't you handle it all by yourself? Tsk.

But, the same "mathematics lecturer"
(on the scale of Roger Penrose?) once claimed that the ARRL Amateur's
Handbook was on a "bestseller" listing in the USA...and the American
Bookseller's Association (ABA) couldn't verify that at all. :-)


Go back and read my complete post, paying attention to the phrase
"...technical best seller."


Tsk, tsk, tsk. YOU go back and point at the date and place
it was stated that the ARRL Handbook became a "technical
best seller." [sorry, the ARRL press releases, advertisements,
etc. do NOT count]


Accusing me of lying? Are you sure you want to commit libel?


In here? :-)

Heavens no. In here the PCTA extras redefine words and the
radio world and everything else into their own little fantasyland
desires. They are the "superiors."

"Libel" in here means to say bad things about morsemanship
and say bad things like trying to eliminate the amateur radio
license morse code test. In ANY OTHER NEWSGROUP you
would be guilty of lying. Not here. :-)


BTW, have you worked out the little problem in synchronizing
oscillator frequencies yet? Remember that numbers don't do
the RF generation. Real hardware does.

There are those who would disagree with you, "bb". My mother, my wife,

I'm still amused about you claiming to have replied to my January
13th post on the 11th, though. Pretending to be a clairvoyant?

So what about my offer made on the 13th? I'll set up a free
online calculus course just for you and we'll post your homework
and exam scores on this NG so everyone can be impressed with your
work. So far, though, you're getting an F.

You never answered my question from last week: How many ex-wives

Careful, Brian. Poop Dave the 1st gets spells of voiding hisself in
here periodically. Today (18th) he really voided. Whatever he
was full of seems to have spilled all over in here...

Remember also that we ordinary mundanes must NOT, under any
circumstances, say anything bad about PCTA extras or even dare
to oppose their viewpoints. They RULE in here.

This newsgroup works on democratic principles. We can say
anything we like...as long as we say it according to what the PCTA
extras approve. After all, "they serve their country in OTHER ways."

You betcha. :-)

According to Poop Dave the 1st, I have "no motivation." Tsk.

Well, my wife and I have only one automobile. That is sufficient
motivation for most. Not to Poop Dave the 1st...nor to J.P. (who
serves his country in 'other' ways).

I won't pay tithe to the Church of St. Hiram nor kiss the ring of Poop
Dave. [no motivation to Obey His Magnificence you see]

Only when the PCTA extras try to get in it and stamp out any
talk of eliminating the morse code test. Poor things are still
stuck worshiping the graven images of radiotelegraphy.

It is, of course, all the fault of AOL.


It is? I don't think so. I think it is really due to the dictatorial
demands of the PCTA extras who rule out any hope of mentioning
anything They don't like.

Foolish me, believing in democratic principles. "CW" rules and
always will. All must "motivate" themselves to be good lil
morsemen in order to "prove themselves to the ham community."

Poop Dave the 1st has so ordered...and voided...again.

Still waiting to see in what "other ways" Lennie serves HIS

SINCE the assassination of President Kennedy would be nice, since
we can't seem to get Lennie out of 1953.

Reminds me...A contemporary music group called "Bowling for Soup"
has a side-splitter of a song called "1985". It's about a woman named
Debbie who's "...preoccupied with 1985". Some alternative lyrics with
Debbie's name exchanged with Lennie's and "1955" for 1985"...I'm gonna
have to work on that and get back to the group...It outta be good!

Seal. Seems a decent sort.

Heck yes. But upon reading some of the publicity, it looks like one of
those intense/burnout things that celebrities are so good at. Like
Billy Bob Thornton/Angelina Jolie, Bennifer, Britney and her
husband-of-the-week, etc.

Nothing new there, Liz Taylor was doing that stuff a half century ago.
The difference today is that the cycle time is even faster and a lot of

The Avenging Angle of Dearth has had hundreds of hostile actions.
All in here. :-)

That seems to be the only place he can point to and be accurate.

All of those other "hostile actions" must have happened in
firefights between his alternate personalities.

It's a wonder he hasn't picked up the 'phone and used his "health
professional qualifications" to order authorities to pick up those
militant personalities. [he thinks he is "authorized" to do such]

Of course, the Great Radio Operator used "CW" in all those
military "hostile actions," saving his squad of recon marines
time and time again...at some point in time not yet on the clocks
of NIST or on calendars...and on frequencies which are all "secret"
to civilians and the rest of the government. [so secret that if he
tells us he has to kill himself?]

There's more to that statement than you know, Dave.

IMHO, most people who watch professional football support it and enjoy it in
one way or another. For example, they buy tickets, paraphenalia, cheer on
"their team", etc. Even the person who simply sits at home and watches the game
on broadcast TV has some small effect, because they affect the ratings and the
ratings determine revenue. Etc. All without wanting to become players.

Of course, a lot of fans would love to actually play the game, but they just
don;t have the talent to do so.

But of course there are *some* people whose interest in football is negative.
Haven't you ever known someone who watched the games but complained the whole
way through, booing and yelling at the TV set, shouting out epithets and
wanting to fire the coaches every couple of plays? Sometimes the worst
offenders in this area are folks who once actually played the game, who will
tell you of their great accomplishments on the gridiron - over and over and
over, even if you don't ask them. Now they simply spectators who live in the
past.

Steve, you're free to worship in your own way.


You need to learn the difference between "worship" and
"appreciate", Brian.

Everyone seems to be of the fixed mindset (imaginary

that I am desiring to obtain an amateur radio license. Not

true.

Your story changes from month-to-month and year-to-year.

Sometimes you
have no interest in obtaining an amateur radio license. At other

times
you've indicated a decades-long interest in amateur radio. It

can't be
both ways.

Sure it can, Dave. A person can "have an interest" in something,

yet not want
to become part of that group. For example, I have a decades-long

interest in
sexy women, but I have never desired to become one!



Good one!


There's also the case of the person whose interest in something

consists of
wanting to destroy it. Such a person will often deny that goal.



Perhaps Len's interest in amateur radio is like my interest in
professional football. I have no desire to play, but I like to

watch.

But do you hate football at the same time?

Some people hate entire teams, most are merely aggravated by individual
players.

Adoration is close to worship. But I don't think that's what's between

Wrong. Drop the "Dave and" and see what's left grammatically.

Congrats, Phil. It's usually Dave that pops in here with the grammar
