You ignored the phrase "...according to Lennie".

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

But he did...Right there where he tried to make us think Okinawa
was NOT a "real" part of Japan.

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.

A-yup.

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

What others?

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

"Sayonara" is completely appropriate.

And "putz" is not.

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.

Is Northern Ireland a real part of Ireland?

I can make up my own mind about Okinawa.

"Sayonara" is completely appropriate.

And "putz" is not.

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.

I assume you were trying to make some point here?

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.

And "putz" is not.

Absolutely not.

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.
