Tsk, tsk, tsk. You don't know anything about what took
place on three successive R&D jobs where NADC was the test
agency for evaluation of SECANT (the RCA acronym for the
anti-collision system back then).

It doesn't matter, Lennie. I know what happened on ONE of them.

You know NOTHING. :-)

All you do in here is try to demean and denigrate others
who HAVE some experience in radio...especially those
who have done MORE than you ever have. Tsk.

At NO time was I doing anything "for" NADC...(SNIP)

But you were there and your performance was lackluster.

You got a bad "fit rep". Oh well. We can't all be "100%" 100%
of
the time. Deal with it.

Tsk. You have NO frame of reference in trying to compare
industry with your personal experience in the military.

To reiterate - because you can't understand how industry
works - I was NOT EVER an employee of the USN and NOT
EVER at NADC. I was an employee of RCA Corporation then
and remained so until 1975. At NO TIME did any NADC
people do any performance reviews of my work. They
couldn't. I was NOT an employee there. :-)

Industry doesn't have "fitreps" as you call them. They
are called performance reviews and are periodic, the
period of review times dependent on local corporate
policy. [see any Personnel department...or "Human
Resources" - same thing under a new buzzword]

One of my first fitreps in the Corps was less than what it could
have been. Not bad, but certainly a wake-up call. I took my
"spanking", did what I needed to do to correct the shortcomings, and
moved on. No big deal.

The electronics industry is NOT "the corps." :-)

I've not had a bad performance review in my whole
career in southern California aerospace. That career
started in 1956. Not anywhere close to what you
think deserves a "spanking." :-)

The only "wake-up calls" I've had were from
operators at motels and hotels I was staying at
while on field trips for my employers. :-)

SECANT (SEparation and Control of Aircraft by Non-
synchronous Techniques) performed well...(SNIP

Has nothing to do with Amateur Radio policy or that you were
deemed less than adequate at NADC.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Still trying to spin your undetailed
yarn of "less than adequate" performance at NADC?

Idiot. I was never employed by NADC. I was never
employed by the USN in any capacity. No part of
the USN ever rated me for any "performance review"
and certainly not a "fitrep" a la the murines. :-)

You are still trying a snow job on everyone in a
vague effort to cover up your original LIE. Tsk.

The ONLY way you can right your terrible wrong is
to give enough detail into what was actually done
while I was at NADC as "contractor personnel,"
aka field engineer. You can't do that. You have
NO real information to base your personal attack,
don't know how contracts are carried out, have NO
idea what this particular project was about (even
if explained in detail to you), have NO
understanding of research and development with
Department of Defense contractural procedures.

Based on the results of that 2nd gen flight test...(SNIP)

Twenty one lines of non-relevent story telling.

Tsk. VERY relevant and necessary to counter all
your pitiful little LIES told about others.

Now suck it up and move along,
old man! You ran your mouth off about all your hot jobs.

Wasn't a "hot" job. Was an everyday kind of design job.

One you didn't do well at. Oh well.

Tsk, tsk. You have NO idea of what was involved,
don't understand the technology, don't understand
the way contracts are performed, don't understand
the way individual performance is rated by the
electronics industry.

As I said, I've had NO bad performance reviews in
the aerospace industry. [research that all you
want...if you say you "found" something, then that
would be FALSE, a LIE]

Proof of performance is that equipment works
according to pre-established specifications. In
the case of Research and Development contracts,
test data may turn up some need to change the
original specifications (not unusual). Such
changes may be instituted by the contractee (or
testing agency assigned by contractee) or the
contractor. In the case of the first generation
SECANT, the testing agency (NADC) found that
their data recording methods (phototheater) was
inadequate. That was solved on the second
generation by incorporating a multi-channel tape
recorder formatted for the on-site NADC computer
(can your mythical "reference" name that main-
frame computer, hmmm?). That condition applied
to the Minneapolis-Honeywell collision avoidance
system also under test (separate contract).


It was "hot" only in the SAW filters...(SNIP)

Great. Ohhhhhhhhhhh...Ahhhhhhhhhhhh....Stuff that extend's an
engineer's slide rule, I am sure.

Tsk. Improper use of pluralities. :-)

"SAW" is an acronym for Surface Acoustic Wave. Those
are frequency-domain filters using the phenomena of
very ultrasonic wave propagation on surface of
piezo-electric material such as quartz or lithium
niobate. Interdigital SAW filters can be made
with extreme sharpness of skirt selectivity at the
passband edges. As such they make ideal "matched"
filters; i.e., their passband is equivalent to the
reciprocal of a pulse width...resulting in an RF
envelope output shape close to a cosine-squared
(very low harmonic content) waveform. SAW filters
are common as "roofing filters" or the very first
filter of multiple-conversion receivers. You will
find SAW filters in common use in cell phones due
to their very small size...as well as cell site
terminal equipment...and now TV receivers,
especially those for DTV. In 1974 SAW filter use
was "cutting edge" technology, especially in the
mid-VHF frequency range. 31 years later it is
rather common and Murata (among many makers) have
produced hundreds of thousands of SAW filters on
lithium niobate substrates.

Of no relevence to Amateur Radio policy at ANY level or you
behaviour herein.

"Behaviour?" :-)

Since when has YOUR name-calling, denigrations, and
attempts at defamation of character ever concerned
"amateur radio policy?" Tsk, tsk, tsk.

You happened
to drop one name where I had an "in". I found you out.

Steve Robeson was *NEVER* "in" on either the RCA or
Minneapolis-Honeywell aircraft anti-collision systems.
Steve Robeson wan't even AT NADC in 1971 to 1975. He
was a jarhead who never got beyond Warminster NAS on
the other side of the road A DECADE LATER.

Nope...wasn't in those programs.

I did have an "in" with a gentleman who was, however.

Outted you nicely.

An "in?" Tsk. You've been talking to YOURSELF, busy
telling your various personalities tall tales.

You are so far OUT you couldn't get "in" anything
but your own sociopathic psychotic activity of
constantly trying to denigrate ANYONE who opposes
you in any way. You keep compounding your own LIES.

You can NOT produce any DETAIL at all of what I was
doing at NADC or even whatever I did at any time in
my career in electronics design engineering. You
haven't a clue as to what is done in industry on a
regular basis. You can't describe NADC or Warminster
NAS across the street, you can't describe how one
crosses that road, the shape of the NADC buildings,
their special NASA astronaut test facilities (only
one), any of the broadband HF radio antennas outside,
the fact that the original building and airfield was
constructed for Brewster Aircraft (the only aircraft
corporation known to go bankrupt DURING WW2), or the
curious taxiway from ramp area to runway at the NAS.
You can't name anything about the NADC computer
center, can't identify the curious little tracks
on part of the ground floor buildings that were at
NADC, don't understand that the NAS was all-Navy but
NADC was largely civilian. You can't describe the
cafeteria at NADC or the "O club" right above it nor
the various little offices that can serve both NADC
and contractor personnel, can't describe their
internal police arrangement, or even their playing
of reveille at an unusual time.

All you can say is that you "knew somebody" there
who "gave me a bad fitrep" and said I did "lackluster"
work for NADC. You LIE and compound that LIE.


Tsk. I have a copy of the FINAL report on SECANT...(SNIP)

I am sure the Anderson household is ripe with files of old
projects that have absolutely nothing to do with Amateur Radio.

The proper word is "rife." Yes, I have enough from a half
century of working IN electronics and radio, but a small
part of it DOES have to do with hobby electronics (such
as amateur radio. I converted a spare 3rd bedroom into an
office/library for my wife and myself years ago...in the
southern house (not the northern one in WA)...one 13-foot
wall has three rows of bookshelves (and that isn't enough).


And not a bit of it relvent to the fact that Leonard H. Anderson
was at NADC, was a less than stellar performer, and when I asked
around
about him, I got a "hit"...

You got ****. Bad word or not, that describes what you do
to EVERYONE who disagrees with you. You **** on their
person, defecating on them verbally in a momentous
display of your rage and hatred if they so much as say
anything negative against you. All you do is practice
sociopathic verbal defecation.


And the people at NADC that had to evaluate the performace of the
contract weren't impressed with YOU, Lennie.

Idiot. A TESTING AGENCY "evaluates the performance" of
the TEST. It doesn't "evaluate contractor personnel."

For the last time: "Contractor personnel" do NOT work
FOR any federal test agency. They work FOR their
employer. Employers do the performance reviews of their
employees. If a contractor's employee does not perform
as they are required to do, the contractor removes them.
I've NEVER been removed for such a reason. I've never
been removed from a field test location for ANY reason.

You have to TRY and stop ****TING on people you don't
like. It isn't productive, it isn't civil, it isn't
according to The Amateur's Code.

All you've done so far is to dig yourself deeper into
your original LIE. You have NO proof. You can't
supply ANY details. You have so many misunderstandings
about defense contracts and procedure that it shows you
are totally BOGUS in all that ****TING on others.

You are SICK. You have diss-temper. You need a vet...
a veterinarian...or something. GET HELP for yourself.
