No one except Ghandi thinks that. But you make every posting as if it

These are certainly not the good people that I first met when I became
a ham. The trouble with amateur radio started with the advent of the
no-code license. People began entering the service that did not
worship at the altar of St. Hiram, and did not kneel and kisst the feet
of Extras.


The problem didn't start with the No Code test...It started almost
20 years before that with the influx of 11 meter operators via the Bash
Book route and the subsequent codification of the "open pools".


Ah, yes, the "Riff-Raff" theory. Almost 20 years ago I used the ARRL's
"Now You're Talking" and the ARRL's non-Farnsworth Code tapes to enter
the amateur radio service via "open pools" testing.

Well, from my point of view, the change started a lot earlier.

The movement to implement a no-code amateur license class
was already underway at least a decade prior to 1990. The
olde-tyme hammes "dismissed" such riff-raff haughtily,
tried to bruise no-coders' knuckles with code keys and
trumpeting like King Kong (complete with chest-beating) or
the disdain of a sneering (but clumsy) Basil Fawlty in a
(funny) English sit-com.

The Ham Lifestylers created themselves around the 60s when
there was left-over money to spend for fancy radio toys and
time to do "radio pioneering" in "DXpeditions" and the
self-styled "radiosport contests. They were the "Greatest"
according to the ham publications, sort of like radio
versions of Cassius Marcellus Clay after his name change.
[look at Clay/Ali now...]

"Radio" in itself can be very fascinating in and of itself.
But, "radio" is really just one form of electronics and
cannot, nor should not, be rooted/shielded/isolated into the
old analog ways nor communications modes of six decades past.

One problem, quite evident in here, is the Lifestylers trying
to force everyone into THEIR way of thinking/doing as if that
were the "voice of the amateur community." There is NO real
voice, not even in the mighty national membership organization
of hams that "represents" (according to them) only 1 out of 5
U.S. amateur licensees. It is THEIR little clubhouse and they
are supremely, arrogantly intolerant of those who do not
acknowledge THEM as the "masters." Their feet MUST be kissed
and all MUST respect them...they keep telling others that in
so many different ways. THEY are "superior."

What is worse for the HOBBY is the attitudes of the Lifestylers
is clearly evident to all those outsiders who greatly out-
number them. The Lifestylers fear their Way of Life is
Threatened by "mere hobbyists" and that fear makes them blind
to their own actions and attitudes. They remain resolute and
arrogant, elitist in their self-styled "superiority" and
cannot recognize THEY are the greatest danger to the hobby.

Ahem, "almost 20 years ago" would be about 1985. Class D CB
was created in 1958...FORTY-SEVEN YEARS AGO. 27 years in
between are unaccounted for in Stebie's statement.

"11 meter 'operators?'" The original "11 meter" CB users
required a license but never required any test. USERS.
Absolutely NO written form of "radio knowledge" was
required of any USER.

"Open pools?" There were "Q&A" books published before 1956
on ALL FCC written tests. BEFORE the Dick Bash publications.
That was way back in history when ALL the FCC radio regulations
were supplied as three-ring binder, loose-leaf pages.

Today's COMPLETE questions-and-answers pool is generated by
the VEC Question Pool Committee. Those answers have three
times the number of WRONG answers as there are correct ones.
The VEC QPC is composed entirely of already-licensed amateurs.
Those hams who bitch and moan about the "open" pools can go
and pish all over their ham VEC QPC "brethren" about the
questions.

The FCC requires only a MINIMUM of ten times the number of
questions for each class' written tests. There is NO LIMIT
on the MAXIMUM number of pool questions. The FCC doesn't
even require the KIND of questions...that's up to the QPC
to determine. Given the electronic distribution of text
and image material, there's not much limit on a QP size
and that could have 100 times the minimum number of
questions. The "riff-raff" aren't going to "easily pass"
by "memorizing" ALL those questions and the ONE correct
answer out of four.

Various electronic industry groups have stopped keeping
accurate tabulations on the number of "CB radios" either
imported or in-use. Some time in the past, an EIA
(Electronic Industries Association) estimated about five
million CBs "in-use." That way outnumbered the number of
oh-so-legal radio amateurs licensed at the time. Before
the FCC stopped publishing databases on PRIVATE land, sea,
and mobile radios NOT on ham bands, NOT on CB, those were
an equal number to the total of licensed radio amateurs.
There are about 100 million cellular telephone handsets
in public use (estimated from Bureau of Census reports
for 2003 on cell phone subscriptions) and the June, 2005,
issue of the IEEE Spectrum (membership magazine) states
that China has 300 million cell phones. Radios. Small
ones. Not even counting the FRS and GMRS handsets. NONE
of those requiring mighty test-taking of morse code
proficiency.

All of those non-ham radios are in use by "riff-raff?"
Dick Bash is "responsible" for all the Q&A books published
in the 1950s? Yes to all implies the mighty Stebie,
"speaker for all hams and the 'ham community'."

"Pbthpththth" says Bill the Cat. Hear the Opus.

The no-code-test Technician became effective in 1991. Going back

already existed for 13 years by 1971 and the off-shore transceivers
were already well-established in the radio market then. An early

For amateur radio written exams, yes. There was an earlier
publisher of Q&A books which covered many different topics,
including the FCC Commercial License written exams. I tried
to obtain one of those in late February, 1956, couldn't and
resorted to simply studying the entirety of the available FCC
radio regulations of that time (quite small in comparison to
the five-volume bound set of Title 47 today).

Irrelevant to those who need Hate Objects. :-)

Just as irrelevant to the fact that Bruce Perens, founder of
the No Code International interest group was a 20 WPM code-
tested Amateur Extra BEFORE he founded that group. :-)

Class C and D Citizens Band Radio Service is close to the
half-century mark and most of its detractors (and haters)
were either unborn or had not obtained any license when it
was created. "Class C" exists, expanded in permissible
frequencies, as "Radio Control Radio Service" in Part 95.
"Class D" is in the same part and called simply "Citizens
Band Radio Service."

Class A and B, on low UHF frequencies was discontinued
many years before. It would have been a year-plus older
than Class C and D had it continued. NONE of the original
four Citizens Band classes required any user to take any
written test for a CB license. Such licenses were
discontinued by the FCC when the number of CB users
reached about a half million or so; exact number is
irrelevant with the near-present-day number of CB radios
being estimated at 5 MILLION in use.

In the process, he didn't violate a single American law, nor did
he find it necessary to villify, denigrate or otherwise demean other
Amateur Radio operators in the proces

Class C and D Citizens Band Radio Service is close to the
half-century mark and most of its detractors (and haters)
were either unborn or had not obtained any license when it
was created. "Class C" exists, expanded in permissible
frequencies, as "Radio Control Radio Service" in Part 95.
"Class D" is in the same part and called simply "Citizens
Band Radio Service."


Again, I am sure there is a point to be made here, however all I
see is more useless

Class A and B, on low UHF frequencies was discontinued
many years before. It would have been a year-plus older
than Class C and D had it continued. NONE of the original
four Citizens Band classes required any user to take any
written test for a CB license. Such licenses were
discontinued by the FCC when the number of CB users
reached about a half million or so; exact number is
irrelevant with the near-present-day number of CB radios
being estimated at 5 MILLION in use.


And we're S T I L L waiting for some point to be made.

WHAT does the history of the Citizen's Radio Service have to do
with changes in the AMATEUR Radio Service due to Bash/NCT?

"Pbthpththth" says Bill the Cat. Hear the Opus.


Actually, Lennie, it's "Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft"

Steve is referring to 20 years prior to the advent of the No-Code
Technician, which happened sometime in the early 90's, so his reference
period is early 70's. Basically, he's saying that many, most, or all
hams entereing the ARS since the early 70's have Bashed it and are
worthless CBers.

No...BRIAN BURKE is calling them "worthless CBers"...

Steve Robeson said nothing of the sort.


Welp, whatever you said it was wrong. Just plain wrong.


"...whatever you said..." ?!?!

BBBWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
! ! ! !

YOU are the person who refered to other radio operators as
"WORTHLESS"...

And I NEVER called ANY operator, CB, Amateur or otherwise
"worthless".

Can't even keep two days worth of exchanges straight, can you,
Burke..?!?! Can't even keep YOUR stories straight!

Once again, for your edification:

"What Steve Robeson DID say was that certain downward trends in the
Amateur Service began with the advent of the "Bash Books" and the
subsequent "opening" of the question pools"

What Steve Robeson DID say was that certain downward trends in the
Amateur Service began with the advent of the "Bash Books" and the
subsequent "opening" of the question pools.


You were the original data point that began the trend.


No...I established a time line based upon another event. I had
nothing to do with it, Brain. I "experienced" it, but was not aprt of
it.

"Open pools?" There were "Q&A" books published before 1956
on ALL FCC written tests. BEFORE the Dick Bash publications.
That was way back in history when ALL the FCC radio regulations
were supplied as three-ring binder, loose-leaf pages.

ARRL, Ameco...

Nice try.

Yes, both publishers printed books that closely outlined the
exams.


Bingo.


What "bingo"...?!?!

They did not then publish the verbatim questions and answers to the
FCC tests. FCC regulations at the time forbade it.

NONE of them were verbatim recreations of the FCC examinations. I
used the Ameco texts while studying for my General and Advanced tests.
Neither had the questions I saw on those exams.


I guess you think that makes you better than the amateurs that used the
questions pools?


Nope. Not in the least. But it DOES mean I know more about radio
communications because I actually learned the material.

All of those non-ham radios are in use by "riff-raff?"
Dick Bash is "responsible" for all the Q&A books published
in the 1950s? Yes to all implies the mighty Stebie,
"speaker for all hams and the 'ham community'."

Bash was a ham. A Mighty Morseman

Bash was a pig. A disgusting profiteer.


Hi!


Shouldn't that have been at the opening of the post?

Unfortunately every
profession has theirs. Bash, along with Fred Maia and Gordon West are
ours.

Steve, K4YZ


What of the ARRL? They also publish the question pools and sell them.


I wish you could have been in SoCal the same time I was, Brain...GW
flooded SoCal with these "operators" who took his weekend "radio
school" and walked out with an Amateur license.

Yes...the ARRL sells them too...Point taken.

You accuse me of "threats" vis-a-vis your recent "what is a

consider a "hostile action", clearly in response to YOUR question, you
make your unfounded accusation.

If you feel threatened, why don't you go right ahead and print off
those threads and stop by the local PD to file a complaint. Heck...go
ahead and stop byt the FBI since this crosses state lines...

Then when required to respond, I'll bring along YOUR stuff,
including your "weasel" wordsmithing, wanton deceit and blatant lying
and overt attempts to make false accusations of your own.

Oh...and I'll being along the ENTIRE post that you continue to
misquote from vis-a-vis "slashed tires", etc, just so they can get "the
big picture" on what your TRUE character is all about.

That ought to set your reputation with law enforcement. It's sure

challenged, by Fonda or any person or entity on her behalf.


The NRA allowed a traitor to join?


I don't know. I'm not a member of the NRA.

How is this germane?

She chose the path of a traitor as opposed to peaceful protest.

You chose your path, and the no-servers chose theirs.

The "no-servers" have not broken any laws.


They may have.


Lacking any credible evidence to the contrary, they haven't.

So says the Constitution of the United States.


Have you broken any laws?

As for the path I chose, yes, I did. As did you. Too bad you
wound up with the reputation of being a chronic liar, eh...?!?!


Hi! I documented a single, three-week lying spree of yours where you
told 29 new lies.


No you didn't.


But I did. It's all archived.

You ACCUSED me of lying, but refused in each and every instance to
substantiate your claims.


You substantiated my claims with each new lie.

You never did. Not once.


You did.

I wasn't aware that weasels (other than you and Lennie) were able
to communicate, let alone have a vocabulary.


Yet you have a vocabulary and communicate. Your awareness needs
updating.


I'm not a weasel.


I say you are.

Know anyone like that? I have one in mind.

Steve, K4YZ

I'm sure you do. Care to share in public, or do the veiled threats
continue?

No veiled threat, Brain.

Apparently they do continue...

What continues?


Your weasel words and obtuseness. If you are going to threaten me,
just do so without regard to the consequences. You'll feel better for
a little while.


What threats?

What consequences?


Hi! Are you on estrogen therapy now? Or just get out of an ice bath?

You accuse me of "threats" vis-a-vis your recent "what is a
hostile action" rant. Then when I offer you an example of what I would
consider a "hostile action", clearly in response to YOUR question, you
make your unfounded accusation.


Because I was never in any of your claimed hostile actions, but you
want to harm me as an example of one of them.

Try to get your own hostile actions right the next time and there won't
be any confusion.

If you feel threatened, why don't you go right ahead and print off
those threads and stop by the local PD to file a complaint. Heck...go
ahead and stop byt the FBI since this crosses state lines...

Then when required to respond, I'll bring along YOUR stuff,
including your "weasel" wordsmithing, wanton deceit and blatant lying
and overt attempts to make false accusations of your own.

Oh...and I'll being along the ENTIRE post that you continue to
misquote from vis-a-vis "slashed tires", etc, just so they can get "the
big picture" on what your TRUE character is all about.


That ought to set your reputation with law enforcement. It's sure
done it here.

Steve, K4YZ


Steven J. Robeson, I have no reputation with law enforcement. But you
bear watching.

The question was not about me, Brain.

The question was about YOU.

I asked YOU why YOU hadn't taken the time to add your

comments about Lennie's sick parody.

And you're a documented chronic liar. So who do you think will
believe you, other than Lennie who is ALSO a documented chronic
liar...?!?!

I documented a single, three-week lying spree of yours where you told
29 new lies.


No...you accused me of lying.

You were challenged at each and ever accusation to prove it.

You didn't.

We KNOW who the liar is, and it's not me.


But it is you. It's as plain as the nose on your face.


My statements stand.

You've been challenged to make good on your accusations of lying.

Are you going to make good on it, or is this yet ANOTHER example
of how you dodge and snivvle your way out of a tight spot?

All of "us" have DIRECTLY addressed his vile and demeaning
"parody" of the Tomb of the Unknowns.

You have not.

Why? Coward?

Why has Jimmy the Riveter continued newgroup friendship with you after
your "slashed tires and terrorized wife" remarks?


Because I didn't threaten anyone.

Veiled or otherwise.


Hi!


Hello to you too, but that shudda been right up front.

Just like your attempt to misrepresent my comments about Amateur
Radio and MARS, you take one line from a post them try to make it
appear as something other than what it was.


It is what it is.


What it "is" is an out-of-context quote meant to misrepresent what
was REALLY said. In other words, an act of deception on your part.

That's why I can say "Brian P Burke is a chronic liar" and know
that you can never take me to court over it.

Because I have the evidence to prove my assertions.


Hi! I would never take you to court for having a stupid opinion.


It's not an opinion, stupid or otherwise.

It's an assertion.

"Brian P Burke is a chronic liar".

Do you admire all things about Jane?

Ms Fonda lost all dignity and respect when she sat her butt down
in that weapon's control seat in North Viet Nam.

Where were you?

It doesn't matter WHERE I was. She's a traitor.

You may have been a traitor also.


Nope.

Where were you?


I didn't tell you?


Nope.


Then I guess it wasn't any of your business, now was it...?!?!

Documented in
countless testimonies. Not a one of those testimonies has been
challenged, by Fonda or any person or entity on her behalf.

The NRA allowed a traitor to join?


I don't know. I'm not a member of the NRA.

How is this germane?


You skipped this question, Brain.

You suggested that the NRA allowed a traitor to join.

I asked how it's germane. And who's the alleged traitor? Hanoi
Jane? If so, darned glad the NRA doesn't have any of my money in it's
coffers.

She chose the path of a traitor as opposed to peaceful protest.

You chose your path, and the no-servers chose theirs.

The "no-servers" have not broken any laws.

They may have.


Lacking any credible evidence to the contrary, they haven't.

So says the Constitution of the United States.


Have you broken any laws?


On the one's where it says "55MPH"

No one, not even a worm like you, can discolot my service either
in the Marine Corps, or any other agency or organization I belong to
now or since...

As for the path I chose, yes, I did. As did you. Too bad you
wound up with the reputation of being a chronic liar, eh...?!?!

Hi! I documented a single, three-week lying spree of yours where you
told 29 new lies.


No you didn't.


But I did. It's all archived.


No, you didn't.

You CLAIMED lies.

On each and ever CLAIM, I demanded that you substantiate yourclaim.

You never did.

Not once.

You ACCUSED me of lying, but refused in each and every instance to
substantiate your claims.


You substantiated my claims with each new lie.

You never did. Not once.


You did.


Then YOU are promulgating a lie right now, Brain.

Stop it. Your family is going to be veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery
disappointed in you.

I wasn't aware that weasels (other than you and Lennie) were able
to communicate, let alone have a vocabulary.

Yet you have a vocabulary and communicate. Your awareness needs
updating.


I'm not a weasel.


I say you are.


Then you're lying.

Again.

Your weasel words and obtuseness. If you are going to threaten me,

Try to get your own hostile actions right the next time and there won't

There's no confusion on MY part.

If you feel threatened, why don't you go right ahead and print off

Steven J. Robeson, I have no reputation with law enforcement.


Go to "the authorities" with your lame claims as you have
previously suggested you might, and when I am done with you, you WILL
have a reputation with law enforcement.

But you bear watching.


For what?

Rubbing your nose in your newsgroup droppings here...?!?!

It's not about me.

It's about why you make insinuations about "double standards" and
then enact one of your own on an issue that one would pesume to be of
some personal interest to you...in as much as you espouse concern over
Veteran's issues.

We've not heard a clear and definitive statement from you to
Lennie on his vile parody of the Tomb of the Unknowns.

No cajones to take a stand? Or do you "admire" Lennie for this
too...???

Thanks for the proof of your cowardice, Brain...Nothing I didn't

Civil discourse with Steven J. Robeson K4YZ is not possible if you have
an opposing opinion. His opinion is right. Your opinion is wrong.
Amen.

Untrue. Others here have said as much. You are, yet again,
uttering an untruthful statement.

His opinion is right. Your opinion is wrong.


So far, Brain, you've not provided an ounce of substantiation for
any of your "opinions", and when your "assertions" have been proven
wrong, you just DODGE acknowledging your error.

Brian P Burke is a known chronic liar. Beware.

Where's the documentation on that, Nursie?

The only point made here, Brain, is that you're a liar.

You continue to prove that. It's in your realm to DISprove it,
but all you do is try to wordsmith your way out of it.

Sorry. Google archives refer.

No matter what name you hide behind.

It really is THAT simple.
