boy oh boy you are obsessed with what other MEN do with their genitals


Colonel Morgan,

break

"John Smith", so the jokes go, is a commonly used name by those checking
into a hotel with a woman other than one's wife. I didn't mention "John
Smith's" or anyone else's genitals.


Now you refered instead to what he was doing with them

so you are still obsessed with what other MEN are doing with their
genitals

I am of course well aware of the joke

Sweetums, you've been plugging for that all by yourself for
lots of messages in here. You NEGLECT any other forms of

"HF will never be the place for high-speed transmission?"
What do you "extra experts" think BPL is basically? Clue:
High-speed data transmission, most of it on HF.



Gee, Len, BPL isn't supposed to be radio at all. Fill us in on the
various intended BPL wireless propagation media. Those power lines are
intended to be antennas?

That's incorrect. I wrote of where he was going with them. I wrote
nothing at all about what he was doing with them and I did not refer to
his, hers or the desk clerk's genitals.

so you are still obsessed with what other MEN are doing with their

Are you still laboring under a misconception about which organs are
included as genitals, Colonel?

From your response, that was not at all evident.

I cannot fathom what you get from such, or what rewards such behavior has

Not so, "John Smith". If I'm present at a town council meeting, folks

You can't walk into any polling place, unregistered and vote. Your

Your recent rantings present wild numbers and unverified percentages of

Len:

Phone lines are limited to roughly 38K by using the full audio bandwidth a
phone line is filtered to, with the early compression techniques. 56K is
obtained by improved data compression techniques.

Any line capable of supporting transmission of these audio freaks can
carry that much digital data (roughly +/-300hz to +/-5,000hz.

DSL is obtained by pulling all the filters from the line, audio bandwidth
is much expanded and much greater data can be crammed into that bandwidth,
with even greater efficient compression techniques.

Powerlines can support near/equal such bandwidths. With a bandwidth
allowing freqs to climb into the LF RF freqs, tremendous data speeds are
possible.... very localized interference to some rf freqs may be
generated... this is now in a testing phase...

Why this is so misunderstood is beyond explanation, or perhaps it is only
limited to the older generations, for some unknown reason--as any familiar
with technical details of data transmission methods and protocols should
know this, it is very basic stuff...

High-speed data transmission, most of it on HF.

And the answer to "why" is that other people bring it up. So I answer.

Is that not allowed?


It's allowed. It's also allowed that YOU *might* consider
OTHER forms of communications on beloved HF other than what
the holy Handbook says is "good."

Quit acting petulant.

The "charge" that high-speed data transmission is "impossible"


Who said that? It is most certainly possible. We just have to be
patient, very patient.


Sorry, I've lost my patience with the brain-draggers in here
only considering U.S. ham radio "high-tech" being some finished
product advertised in QST and having a "lab review" on it all
glowing with praise.

There's an INFINITY of POSSIBILITIES that can be done in U.S.
ham radio and about the ONLY innovation of late is the Tayloe
Mixer (patent pending). Mike Gingell in the UK came up with
the polyphase audio phase shifter for better phasing SSB
and Peter Martinez, also in the UK, came up with PSK31. Once
in a while some U.S. guys come out with an innovating product
and all you "communications experts" all get together and
carp it up, refuse to buy it, or say whatever each one of you
has is "so much better" than anything new. Newness is to be
feared?

Go back in time to the late Dick Carroll complaining and
grousing about his peripheral DSP audio filter...he said
outright in here that he had difficulty setting the
controls! Waaa...waaaa...if it ain't like it usta was in
the 1950s and 1960s it ain't no good!

Okay, so somebody INNOVATE something.

INNOVATE something besides sitting around gabbling how "good"
and "expert" you all are because you are morsemen and grand
champions in radio because you are federally authorized for
beeping. The rest of the radio world is NOT buying it. The
rest of the radio world will continue to improve as it has
been for years. The U.S. amateur radio world can only play
copycat and steal from that, having the ARRL say that "hams
invented it" when it didn't.

Tayloe did it. What have the other 700K+ done? Sit around
griping because none of you have done anything?

I think I have a goodly number of them. I poked holes in several of
your claims--about actors with pseudonyms, about voting, about authors
with pen names. You haven't countered them. You're just veering toward
something new.


holes? hmmmm ah it is procoder thing we nocoders would not understand

nor do I care,
your banter becomes taxing...


If you think *that's* tough, you should try reading some of your
disjointed stuff from this side.

I have not only had the chance to see the
text you post to me, but others, if I am confused about what the common
denominator to all is--well, so be it...


You can see the stuff I post in response to others? That's pretty
amazing. I can see the stuff you're posting to others too!

however, I have formed an opinion
of it, and it not anything which I need be bothered with...

Yet, you keep bothering. I like the attempt at a condescending, quick
dismissal.


then show some MANNERS and thank the man

We are possibly talking about 300,000 hams in the us, that is NOT a large
number for a good hobby... compare that to millions of bicyclists,
millions of fishermen, millions of bowlers, etc, etc... perhaps skydivers
are near that number, 300,000, but only because many of us are too damn
smart and won't jump out of a plane with a large sized piece of ripstop
nylon attached to us!



There are over 600,000 hams in the US.


How you quote such dismal numbers in amateur radio as if they/it are
something to be proud of does nothing but amaze me! As I have pointed out
before, there are MAGNITUDES more illegal aliens here than hams!

In this day and age, any technical or semi-technical hobby is lucky to have
any members at all.



True, Dee. But there are a number of people hard at work to change that!
