Did you use the proper ARRL-approved procedure and correct prosigns? Do you do that? Oh Heaven Forbid! The above message appeared on Coronation Day (20 Jan 05) download of this newsgroup from AOL. If this was inauguration day for John Kerry, would it have been Coronation Day? Of course not! Personally, I wish we could have had it rebroadcast all over the world. I thought it was - satellites and all that. That "We, The People" business was done all over again, and once again we decided the leadership of the most powerful nation on Earth without firing a single shot! Which is one of the true strengths of the USA. All the "shots' fired were of the verbal kind...the people were allowed to decide for themsleves, and their opinions solicited in the form of a ballot. Yep. While the election process isn't perfect, and can be greatly improved, it's better than most of the alternatives. Many didn't get what they hoped for, but they will move on to the NEXT election. Yep. And that's a good thing. Had there been observation of the Newsgroup NEWS on AOL Why should I do that? you would have seen the announcement (by AOL) that they had "technical difficulties" in interfacing to INTERNET newsgroups. AOL is run by "professionals", right? On that same AOL NEWS section there is NO indication that AOL will be dropping newsgroup connections to the INTERNET in "early 2005." Who said there was? Suggestion: Connect to DARPANET directly and use morse code mode communications. After all, "CW gets through when nothing else will, right?" Who said that? Not me. Tell us again what "usenet" stands for, Leonard. And tell us about operating with an expired license again too...That was too funny! Here it is again: Lenof21: "All licensees are perfectly legal to continue operating in their grace period." Simply not true, if the licensee hasn't applied for renewal before the expiration date. It's good to see a post where you don't call Len a putz, Steve. 73 de Jim, N2EY "Kokava aro, kokava tua, te igoa o te akuaku, erua" |
