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. 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. "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. 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. 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. Unfortunately every profession has theirs. Bash, along with Fred Maia and Gordon West are ours. Steve, K4YZ |

Steve Robeson said nothing of the sort. Welp, whatever you said it was wrong. Just plain wrong. 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. "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. 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? 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.

They also publish the question pools and sell them. |
