wrote: You can see pictures of how it used to be at: http://kauko.hallikainen.org/history/equipment/ 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. 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. 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. Kinda like how he blusters on about ham radio "Morse Men". 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! bit bit |

![]() Sure you did lennieboy, sure. Bet you couldn't even turn the transmitter on without help. He probably wasn't allowed to. He didn't want to go to the stockade. I have a ham license. Do you? 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. |

Download: http://kauko.hallikainen.org/history...s/My3Years.pdf No "stockade." Not even Stockton, CA. Stocks and Bonds you don't get to know about... :-) I have a ham license. Do you? 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. 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. I won't ask for Len to get an extra out of the box. 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!] tap tap |
