And speaking of idiots, I see Lennie didn't get past the first of
his five pages of comments without lying or mentioning his 1950's era
Army career!

Sheesh!

Oooops...forgot to mention, The last footnote in Lennie's
comments:

"Any change in the license examination regulations will primarily
affect license applicants. That does not directly affect those already
licensed and have already passed any test given under older
regulations...despite the displayed spite in a few Comments who had
worked hard to pass the morse code tests and are disturbed that
applicants in the future might not have to do the same. The Commission
is in no way responsible to hold thigs in perpetuity or to insure
feeding of emotional sustanance to those already licensed.

Steve, you might want to end a direct quote with quotation marks so
that we can separate Len's comments from your rantings.

Stebie likes to plagiarize...and try to get away with it...:-)

But, in truth, he only STARTED the quote with quote marks...but
FAILED to end with it.

In any event, Len is correct.

Quite.

Of course his comments were laced with the usual amount of
"mythology", "tribal" and other insulting inferences that we have
become used to here.

Mythology??? Did he mention seven hostile actions?

Stebie IMPLIED his "participation" in those "seven hostile
actions" yet did NOT GET SPECIFIC as to date or location of
HIS actual participation.

The "morse myths" are the stuff of legend and abound among
the really Olde-Tymers who repeat the stories and tales of
the Older Olde-Tymers and their Mighty Morse Machines. :-)

The biggest lie being his suggestion on page 1 that he was a
potential Amateur Radio licensee.

Or being "A" NCOIC of a MARS station in Okinawa.

Did he say that "MARS IS Amateur Radio!" ?

Tsk, tsk, tsk. ANYONE is a POTENTIAL AMATEUR licensee. I've
been a COMMERCIAL licensee since 1956...and IN the HF comms
activity before AND after that year...AND working IN the
electronics industry of the southern California Aerospace
"community" from 1956 onwards...AND as a hobbyist in radio
and electronics since 1947 (non-transmitting electronics
and radio do NOT need any license).

As for ACTUAL, 24/7 HF communications, in the military, I
have that documented at:

http://kauko.hallikainen.org/history/equipment/

in three separate papers, each with illustrations from military
or personal sources.

The point in those was to show what Big Time HF Communications
WERE back a half century ago. There was NO manual or automatic
morse code mode employed in those big 24/7 communications networks
of the United States military way back then. None has been used
since for the vast majority of communications that have taken
place.

Too bad there's not a method for filing charges of perjury on
filings.

Steve, K4YZ

You could always start proceedings to impeach Len. Do you still have
the dress?

My attorney and I will see him in civil court. The Superior Court
judges need the entertainment! :-)
