I have no skill in the Japanese language. Thanks for
straightening
me
out that "sayonara" is the Japanese equivalent of the Yiddish
word
for
"penis." I'm shocked to think that all those JA's were were
repeating
the word "penis" over and over again on the air. And I always
thought
they were the most polite amateurs.

They are. But the point is you don't know Japanese, yet you
feel
it's "OK" to say Japanese words in non-Japanese conversation. You
and
Lennie don't seem to have the same opinions on word useage when
non-Lennites are involved in the act.

So the next time a JA gives me a "sayonara" I should say "good bye
penis?"

If you'd like to, Brian. But on what antenna are you going to do
it?

And remember, if it's a JR6, do NOT say "sayonara"...They're "not
really Japanese" according to Lennie.

I usually use a microphone to say good-bye or sayonara. The stock
microphone that came with the TS-690S is good, or the Heil headset. I
leave the antenna outside for radiating the signal.

And remember, if it's a JR6, do NOT say "sayonara"...They're "not
really Japanese" according to Lennie.

Steve, K4YZ

Cool. Is Okinawa a JA posession like Guam or Saipan is a W6 posession?

Okinawa is a prefecture of Japan...a "state", just like Hawaii,
Rhode Island, or Texas is to us. They are very much a part of Japan,
CONTRARY to what Lennie would have other believe.

"Sayonara" is completely appropriate.

Len posts here. If he thought I needed that information, he would have
given it to me.

Okinawa is a prefecture of Japan...a "state", just like Hawaii,
Rhode Island, or Texas is to us.

Prefecture. There are awards for working those.

They are very much a part of Japan,
CONTRARY to what Lennie would have other believe.

What others?

"Sayonara" is completely appropriate.

And "putz" is not.

A-yup.

You...Me...Anyone who happens to read through here...

"Sayonara" is completely appropriate.

Absolutely not. Nor would I use it one the air.

I had a blast from Okinawa in 81...But the "new" sequential
callsign system was still new in the States, and a lot of folks seem to
skip by the "KA6" calls...UNTIL, that is, that we got wise and started
signing /JR6. Then the pile-ups started! I was KA6CM on Oki.

I can make up my own mind about Okinawa.

Absolutely not.

So why do you use it so often here?

Nor would I use it one the air.

You are the shining star in hamdom.

Yep. Tried field day from Guam. The USA hams in the test had no idea
what a /KH2 was.

Funny...You seem to need Lennie's guidance on just about
everything else...That collar starting to get a bit tight?

"Sayonara" is completely appropriate.

So why do you use it so often here?

Because (A) this is not "on the air" and (B) in refrence to
Lennie, it is completely appropriate.

Nor would I use it one the air.

You are the shining star in hamdom.

Nope...Just another one of the gang...Just like you.

Why?

They ARE a Commonweatlh of the United States, more properly known
as the Central Northern Marianas Islands. They have the same status as
Puerto Rico.

Hans is right...they are NOT a "possession".
