It's nice to see Miss Manners finally noticing something amiss n the
ARS.

"bb" is just full of all sorts of assumptions, ain't he boys and girls?

Using his logic then all us "higher" class operators need to get out of
EMCOM, eh?

I'll be sure to tell the Extra class Emergency Net Control operator next
time I see her.

Dan/W4NTI

Dan, you're welcome to tell her anything you want. She's probably
already aware that you usually get it wrong anyway.

Do you have trouble chewing gum and walking Bryan?

I don't chew gum. I don't smoke, either. Did you have a point?

Probably on his head...



He should have it biopsied. Save him an early date with the actuarial
tables.

The twoers and sixers were rock-bound. Anyway, he said that he wasn't
familiar with VHF.

"Familiarity with VHF" wasn't needed. ALL that counted was getting
the morse code speed UP...that yielded absolute knowledge of all
theory thus guaranteeing rank-status-privilege.

We're trying to change that, all in vain. Only the actuarial tables
bring about change in the ARS.

Well, that's how it goes... :-)

I designed and built an external VFO for a few Sixers. Worked fine.
One of the recipients was showing an olde-fahrt extra how it
operated and olde-fahrt said "Nice, did you build it?" "No," said
my friend and, pointing to me, "He did." "THAT'S ILLEGAL!" shouted
the olde-fahrt. Heh heh heh...the same anal attitudes existed four
decades ago as they do now.

In RRAP, we have the uniformed, and the uninformed!

The "uniformed and the uninformed!" I LIKE that phrase. Apt. :-)


You forgot to mention the changes in elevation over changes in
distance!!!

Heh heh heh. In northern Illinois the elevation changes amount
to +/- a yard. Not even close to bragging rights... :-)

Darnit!!! We're supposed to hear about how it was uphill both ways
juss like the real hammes claim.

That was for a COMMERCIAL license, Brian. No braggin' rights
allowed in here on that. :-)

However, to kill time waiting for the return train, I saw a
matinee of "Oklahoma." Sat in the balcony, undisturbed. That
was good for a change of a couple stories in height! :-)

Did you try a "balcony" antenna while there?

Nobody to communicate with. Was a slow day for matinees, I guess.


Too bad it was a sunny day in Chicago. No snow to brag to
anyone ("uphill both ways through"). Passed no problem,
even with the interruption of a fire drill in the Federal
Building halfway through the test.

No real hamme could have survived that.

You're probably right.


[a lot of the anony-mousies won't know what we're talking
about on this subject...they weren't here to see some of the
astounding bragging going on by the late Dick Carroll and
others in here]



Dick was not unique unto himself. There are plenty of Dick imposters
in the ARS.

You mean the beepers are all just dildoes?!? Good grief!

Maybe Dr. Ruth Westheimer needs to be informed of this!?!

Brrrr...what a group!

He should have it biopsied. Save him an early date with the actuarial
tables.

Sounds like a plan! Ol' Danny is getting worse. Now he thinks
I am claiming "combat action." Maybe I'll claim SEVEN of them
just to keep him happy? It works for another. :-)

The Vietnam War ended 30 years ago. I guess this post-traumatic
stress stuff really gets to some...and lasts a long time...

More and more I'm thinking the PCTA extras are going bonkers
from too much beeping.

But you HAVE claimed combat action, Lennie!

You repeatedly try to impress us with how you "served" with guys
who were KIA, and you were quite eloquent trying to tell yet another
person what it was REALLY like being under "incomming artillery
fire"... ! ! ! ! !

The Vietnam War ended 30 years ago. I guess this post-traumatic
stress stuff really gets to some...and lasts a long time...

It must...You've been suffering PTSD from Korean War service even
though you weren't anywhere near the fight.

More and more I'm thinking the PCTA extras are going bonkers

No....It only seems that way as you fall deeper into your OWN
psychosis, Lennie...Comes from too much ranting and raving in
newsgroups that you don't belong in.

I know that Steve has made such assertions.

Nothing to back it up with, though.
