"Dave Heil" wrote in message ... woke up from a long winter's nap and wrote: On Thurs, Mar 3 2005 11:04 pm, "Dee Flint" (calmed down from a previous hissy fit) jumped into a so-called conversation and shouted out: "Alun L. Palmer" wrote in message . .. wrote in oups.com: [snip] Are there thousands of hams that could pass the General or Extra theory trapped above 30 MHz? Yes. There are no hams "trapped above 30Mhz. Riiiiight, Mama Dee. Nobody is trapped. No-coders are NOBODIES. :-) Incorrect, grizzled ancient one. No coders have the same opportunity to pass the piddling, easy 5 wpm code test as anyone else. :-) :-) Riiiight, Dee, the "only" purpose of HF is "to work DX with CW." :-) Nobody is peddling that claim except for you and you aren't involved with DX or CW. Fortunately I only see Len's idiotic comments when someone replies to them. Notice how he has inserted material that wasn't even there. I've worked plenty of non-DX stations on HF. He ignores the fact that the same propagation principles apply to domestic and international communications. I am also amazed at how he keeps flattering me by using the term "Mama Dee", since this is the most important job in the world for any woman with children. He probably intends for it to be derogatory but has failed miserably in that regard. They may not stick with it until conditions improve since they won't have the skills to participate in the second most used mode of shortwave communications. Wow, all that struggle just to be "second best!" Such "incentive!" Gots to "work DX on HF with CW." On "shortwave!" Those of us who care to will. How are you involved? Notice how he cannot distiguish between 2nd best and 2nd most used. These two phrases have entirely different meanings. BTW, the rest of the radio world uses the term "shortwave" to refer to small wavelengths measured in centimeters. That's simply incorrect. The term has been defined and understood for many, many decades. If some Johnny-come-lately wants to act as if he has just invented the terms "shortwave" or "wireless" let him join you in looking like a complete boob. It's in all the trade magazines. Oops, I forgot. Real hams don't read industry trades. The only approved publications about radio come from the ARRL. Real hams may read anything they choose and even a non-ham like yourself may look at QST. Work, struggle with all one's might to become "second best." :-) Mediocre is the word. You whine and whine over a measly five wpm morse code test and you dare write of mediocrity? :-) :-) Again he is totally fuzzy on the difference between 2nd best and 2nd most used. Or, to keep the "CW" bandplan open as an olde-tymer's playground/sandbox to keep their righteousnesses happy. "Real" radio operators do "CW." All important, vital, necessities, righteous. Get and keep federal LAW to TEST all hobbyists operating below 30 MHz or the sky will fall! Seems as if you're really swinging from the chandelier today, Leonard. Dave K8MN Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
