Lennieboy couldn't even build one from someone eles's plans. That claim is not necessarily correct. Maybe Len could, maybe he couldn't. All we know for sure is that he hasn't. (If he had, we'd never hear the end of it). All the righteous, noble, "federally authorized" hams deserve a lifetime of respect and admiration for being scrupulously honest with everything! Would you rather that hams followed Part 97 the way cb users follow Part 95? Seems Lennieboy scoffs at those who go by the rules, that speaks volumns about him I would say. He does seem to have trouble with certain radio regulations. For example, there was a long series of diatribes from Len about how ITU-R wasn't really a "treaty". Len also claimed that all hams could legally operate with licenses that were expired but in the grace period. Wrong, of course. He's also claimed that Novices and Advanceds will have to retest to retain their privileges - also wrong, their licenses can be renewed and modified indefinitely; FCC just isn't issuing new licenses of those classes. Len will go on and on about how awful ham radio, and many hams, are - accorcding to him. But you will never see a single negative word from him about cb radio. Not one. You'd think cb was an absolute paragon of rules compliance and a model of an orderly radio service, if Len was your source of info. Seems he is jealous since hams are 'federally authorized' to use the ham bands Sure seems that way! and he can't become a member of the fraternity. Why not? He can get a license just like anyone else. All it takes is passing the required tests. Heck, the Technician has not required a code test for 14+ years, and 5 years ago its written test requirements were cut almost in half. And it gives all amateur radio operating privileges above 50 MHz. It's not about me, Len. I'm not the one asked FCC to exclude everyone under the age of 14 years from any class of amateur radio license, without *any* example of problems caused by the licensing of young people as radio amateurs. *You* are. Just about any 14 year old or younger would make a better ham than Lennieboy. Many already have, but poor Lennieboy can't make the grade. That is why he doesn't want 14 year olds getting a license, it makes him look bad. Maybe. It sure does seem to burn Len's toast that some of us were hams before age 14. 73 de Jim, N2EY |
