Go to the sub-heading "Stations" and click on "ADA." It's about
an Army station in the 1950s whose transmitter site at over
three dozen HF transmitters ranging from 1 KW to 40 KW output.
Station ADA was only the third largest in the worldwide Army
network at the time. I was there for three years and most of
the pictures are from my own camera. All vacuum tubes, of
course, this was in the 1950s.

The other document under "Stations" is from a brochure done
up by the same battalion I served in, but ten years later.
All Signal Corps photographs.

of clocks and wris****ches on time every night...automatically.

So lennieboy thinks that by getting to walk by a high power Army radio
installation sometime in the 1950's and taking a few pictures made him
an expert radioman. Kinda like how he blusters on about ham radio "Morse
Men".

No, "commander" buzziebaby, I didn't do that...I WORKED IN
that station and learned how from on-the-job instruction,
manuals, texts, and a bunch of experts on HF transmitters.
From the beginning of February 1953 to late January 1956.
I didn't have a lot of choice in that even if I was a
voluntary enlistee (ASN RA16408336). If you don't believe
me, just check with Gene Rosenbaum, N2JTV. Gene was in the
the same outfit, worked at the same station, but on another
of the four operating teams at ADA. I worked up to be an
operating team leader until the microwave radio relay
equipment arrived...and I became lead NCO at the ADA
microwave installation. BTASE.

If you are ****ed or something, I'd suggest seeking medical
help for your rampant resentment. Personally, I don't give
a snit how jealous you are. I took advantage of my
assignment and learned all I could. That was enough for me
to change my career goal in life from industrial art to
electronics engineering after my Honorable Discharge. You
don't like that? TS. Pass me your TS card, I punch it.

That's Mighty Macho Morsemen, eedjut. Get it RIGHT.

Anony-mousie buzziebaby, I've seen, operated HF stuff
along with VHF, UHF, and microwave stuff IN the military
and know damn well that the vast majority of military
communications of half a century ago was NOT by any
magic of morsemanship. Worse yet for you jealous types,
I do have written confirmation of what I did AND the
word of both military and civilian personnel who were
THERE at the same time I was. No brags, just fact.

Now go play with your olde-tyme raddios, buzziebaby.
Pretend you're a hotshot 1930s morseman and dream your
impossible dreams of radio importance. Cuss out all of
those who were doing the REAL stuff if that makes your
ego feel better. It won't matter in the long run. I
was there, you weren't. Hell, you can't even summon
enough courage to use a real name or ham callsign!

Sure you did lennieboy, sure. Bet you couldn't even turn the transmitter
on without help.

I have a ham license. Do you?

Sure you did lennieboy, sure. What do I have to be jealous of you? I
have a ham license. Something you can't do even with all these imaginary
skills you claim.

He probably wasn't allowed to. He didn't want to go to the
stockade.

Now that the code test will soon be history, it should
be easy for Len to get a license, if he in fact does
have all that RF experience and knowledge above. Still,
I'd check out the question pools for new technologies and
the rules and regs. I won't ask for Len to get an extra
out of the box. Just get any ham license and upgrade
later if he wants to.

No "stockade." Not even Stockton, CA.

Stocks and Bonds you don't get to know about... :-)

I've had a First Class Radiotelephone (Commercial) license
since March, 1956. Kept it renewed. FCC turned it into
a General Radiotelephone license, lifetime.

BTW, any First 'Phone or GROL has places on the back of
the certificate for sign-offs by the responsible engineer
at a transmitter. I have such sign-offs on three of the
certificates, dating from 1956 to 1985.

I can supply a resume (short-form) if necessary...:-)
Have already done that in here. But, that generates
even more anguish/hatred/jealousy by those with little
or no commercial experience...especially those with no
military communications experience. :-)

Still,
I'd check out the question pools for new technologies and
the rules and regs.

...at least every two years when a pool is reviewed by
the VEC QPC.

No? Tsk. I thought all PCTA extras were my "sworn
enemies" in here. :-)

Just get any ham license and upgrade later if he wants to.

How about one from the Food and Drug Administration?
They are responsible for ham. And beef. And fish.
And etc. :-)

"Ham is the butchered meat of swine..." :-)

[oh, the skins are THIN in here...thinner than a microtome slice!]
