Isn't it about time YOU came up with some solid-state designs yourself?!? The question was " . . . you to set up an HF station and operate it?" When was the last time you set up your personally-owned station and operatated it yourself solid state or otherwise Sweetums? Thought so. Well, we know that he once had a cb set. And was once co-owner of some sort of land-mobile VHF system. And about a quarter-century ago he plunked down the coin for an R-70 - a manufactured general-covverage receiver. All the rest I've read has been about his use of stations owned and set up by others. One more laughable pot calling the kettle black pile of bafflegab from the bowels of L.A. But...YOUR amateur radio world looks dark and dreary indeed. No more will you be able to show off your "federally authorized" morsemanship rank/title/privileges! Nah, all we have to do is quietly show up at a Field Day getogether and go brasspounding and watch the crowd of codeless wonders gather 'round in amazement. Been there. Done that. Remember the year the one CW station made more points than the three 'phone stations put together? Oh wait - that was every year we operated... I'm sure that the world of amateur radio looks bleak indeed to a sourball standing on the outside, looking in. Morse Code testing or no, Mr. Anderson will still be on the outside looking in. And he built that wall around himself himself. Unbelievable . . . Like those "gated communities" where the houses are walled in... There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Leonard will obtain his "Extra right out of the box" before he completes his mission of taking up space and using up oxygen. Maybe he will get a license once the code test goes away. Doubtful, since he's never held any class of amateur radio license, despite code test waivers, accomodations, the creation of a license class with no code testing at all, etc. Yeah but yoicks would you really like to have him show up on the bands?? Ye Gods . . ! Maybe we oughta just leave well enough alone before he goes ape and climbs over his wall and does something we'll regret. Getting a license is one thing. Actually setting up an effective station is something quite different. For all of his talk and bluster, he doesn't have a single ham radio project to show us. Sure, he did some articles for a defunct magazine - a quarter century ago. All basic theiry, covered elsewhere long before. Nor will he set up a station unless somebody else is paying the way and it's all manufactured appliances. Antennas? Don't hold yer breath. All talk - no action. That's ol' Len. 73 de Jim, N2EY |

Then you Noel and I decided we were tired of doing all the work again and didn't go back the following year. The year 50 of their ops ran up a grand total of around 150 contacts for the entire 24 hour event. BWAAAHAHA! All talk - no action. That's ol' Len. "The Global Example" 73 de Jim, N2EY w3rv |
