Buy a rig, an antenna, and pay some people to put it up.

Presumably the

only requirement is to know how to read, talk and mash the PTT

button.

"Mash" the push-to-talk button? That means those
owners have to know where to get the PTT control
fixed! :-)


Yep, he said "mash," but must have been mistaken when he said they
would know how to read.

You see, people that use a microphone are clods. They would never
"depress" the ptt button, nor would they "press down" on it. They
are
of low intelligence and barely human, and only know how to "mash"
said
button. If no one is looking, they may actually step on the
microphone
with bare, dirty feet and yell into it.

People who use a telegraph key are genteel. They know how to
properly
close the contacts, form a character, and move on. They do so
with
their pinkie finger extended, and have no dirt under their nails.

For it is written.


People around my area say "mash" as in referring to "pressing"
something I
say it too at times. In general it is said in contesxt such as "Hey
Bob,
mash that light switch will ya?

I'll quite saying mash if it offends all of you that much.

(who does mash his PTT when he works SSB)


A real "communicator" will say 'key the mike', or 'key the
circuit'.

Sorry, but real "communicators" refer to "key" when they load an
encryption code.

BOL, bb

Oh yes indeed they do, as in KAC codes or the old antique KY-7 stuff, eh?
Well bb we are talking about ham radio. Of course I understand, LEN the
LOON, that you have no understanding of that subject.

Tweek twit.

Now Dan, you're mixing metaphors.

You're either talking about "real communicators" or you're talking
about "ham radio" ops.

Which is it?

In either case it's doubtful you're covered, so why sweat it?

Then you agree that the two classifications are different.

Dan, did you get drunk again?

You are replying to Brian Burke, yet you think I am "bb."
You mixed-messed up.

Try to keep everyone straight.

Good luck on this one now...
