By all appearances, the "Four Morsemen of the Apocalypse" want to exclude all but PCTAs in this newsgroup. There's one of your deliberate misstatements, Leonard. That's merely your wrong opinion. I happen to agree with Len. They do so with charges of "stupidity" and "errors" and some uncivil remarks including labels of "piranha" and "Foghorn Lenhorn" and "little electrolytic acolyte" and other endearing terms. Len, you've invented more rude names for folks than any person here. You started out as windy, insulting, condescending and pontificating. It went downhill from there. Poor baby. Tsk, tsk. :-) :-) David, you've started out as you've ended up. Smug. Then they get upset by others calling them names. The PCTA extra Double Standard is always invoked in their postings. ...and there's one of your factual errors. Case in point is James Miccolis constant statement of "that's just plain wrong" in regards to others' opinions...as if he were the sole judge of what is right and wrong. You know, Leonard, it's funny that when Jim uses that phrase, you almost always turn out to be just plain wrong. Len has never worked out of band Frenchmen on 6 meters. As far as I know, only you hold that distinction and title. Then there is his (macro) paragraph of denunciation of my postings with uncivil terms in it, repeated and repeated on his whim. I don't see that profile of your likely actions to be a denunciation at all. It reads like an accurate summary of your actions. All anyone has to do is look at N2EY's profile and compare it with archives of your past posts. Any reader can make a judgement as to whether the profile is accurate or inaccurate. Yours is smug. By the way, tell us who was discussing moderating and closing the newsgroup to non-hams and for what purpose. Do your own homework. My homework? You made mention of something but you don't care to be specific. The matter remains unsubstantiated by you. best of luck. Heil forgets that I've openly SUGGESTED to the PCTA to get their own MODERATED newsgroup. I haven't forgotten. Brian Burke may have though. He seems to think it was some sort of PCTA plot. Then I stand corrected on that single point. However, Jim, Kelly, RE-4YZ, and you repeatedly post that Len is not an amateur. The purpose is to discredit Len's opinions, without considering his opinions on their own merit. Luckily, we have a government body that is not bound by such absurdity. That way they can be assured of proper Group Think and not be bothered by opposing opinions from non-PCTA folk. Do you really think that any self-respecting radio amateur would let a non-ham tell us to go away from a newsgroup dealing with amateur radio? You've probably gathered that it won't happen. Eternal hope shines brightly. This newsgroup is UNmoderated and that is how most feel it should be. No kidding? Really? Really, and without kidding. But...Heil is easily upset and so he must VENT in here. What accounts for non-radio amateur Anderson's VENTING in here? You've haunted an amateur radio newsgroup for close to a decade. You weren't a radio amateur back then and you aren't a radio amateur now. Hmmmm? Why would Heil make such a statement? I'll bet you've retold your fascinating tale of BIG TIME HF work at ADA over fifty times. It is a story having nothing to do with amateur radio and everything to do with Len Anderson's desire to be recognized as somebody. Well, you're certainly recognized, Len. I especially like Jim's recounting amateur radio's contributions during WWII when there was no legal amateur radio operations in the USA. He cracks me up. Lacking valid arguments on SUBJECTS he attempts personal attack by constant reference to non-licensed amateurs' postings as if those were "not allowed." Heil acts the bigot on newsgroup participation. I've never ever said anything about your postings not being allowed. I have stated that I don't give them any credence and I've suggested that others might want to discount the rantings of an old gent with no experience in amateur radio. You've gone way, way beyond that. You have, in comments to the FCC, said that they should disregard the comments of several radio amateurs. You're pathetic. Hmmm? You can ask folks to ignore Len, but Len cannot? Heil (who claims to be a linguist of Hunnish) forgot, in another post, that the fictious name of "Dudley" was used by author Earnest K. Gann in his book, "Fate Is The Hunter." [my mention in here] Frank Gilliland and I used another fictitious name of "Dudly" in reference to another, a military pretender in here. There was no misspelling of "Dudley" at all, just the use of "Dudly" to differentiate from Gann's original name use. A shortened form of "Dudly" is "Dud" which also fits that other, the pretender. I see. It must be like your use of "Atila" to differentiate between the real "Attila" and your use of "beligerent" to differentiate between real warlike "belligerants". The name "Dudley" is an actual name. The name "Dudly" doesn't exist. Very UNPROFESSIONAL, Leonard; very UNPROFESSIONAL. It's less unprofessional than working out of band Frenchmen on 6 meters, IMHO. You can tell the Mrs. that those dratted hams aren't giving you any respect again. Dave K8MN One ham isn't. Never has. Too smug to be bothered by a non-ham. Luckily we have a government organization.... |

Everyone is invited to view Heil's message archives and arrive at your summation. I would have added "arrogant" but that may be a personal choice.

The purpose is to discredit Len's opinions, without considering his opinions on their own merit. Luckily, we have a government body that is not bound by such absurdity. Dishonorable Judge Heil is benched. Heil will not discuss the lawful fact that neither Commissioners or staff at the FCC are required to hold amateur radio license grants in order to REGULATE and ENFORCE U.S. amateur radio regulations. And those Commissioners and staff are serving in the public interest, not the amateur's interest. Something that Jim et al always seems to forget when recommneding your opinions are invalid because you're not a ham. Heil believes in the good-old-boys-pecking-order-in-club-house rule of only those tenured in licensing are "suitable" for "leadership." Heil doesn't want to understand that ALL U.S. civil radio is regulated and enforced by the FCC, NOT the licensees. And the Dept. of State is a vehicle for DX destinations. That way they can be assured of proper Group Think and not be bothered by opposing opinions from non-PCTA folk. Do you really think that any self-respecting radio amateur would let a non-ham tell us to go away from a newsgroup dealing with amateur radio? You've probably gathered that it won't happen. Eternal hope shines brightly. Not for me in Heil's case. He simply can't be told anything he doesn't want to hear. He is only one insignificant man. This newsgroup is UNmoderated and that is how most feel it should be. No kidding? Really? Really, and without kidding. Heil cannot understand that. We should cease telling him in order to save time for more productive efforts. Never. But...Heil is easily upset and so he must VENT in here. What accounts for non-radio amateur Anderson's VENTING in here? You've haunted an amateur radio newsgroup for close to a decade. You weren't a radio amateur back then and you aren't a radio amateur now. Hmmmm? Why would Heil make such a statement? It must be close to a decade since Heil ceased being a paid worker in the "foreign service" of the Department of State. Absolutely NO evidence has been presented of his having learned ANY diplomacy there. He was merely their messenger. I'll bet you've retold your fascinating tale of BIG TIME HF work at ADA over fifty times. It is a story having nothing to do with amateur radio and everything to do with Len Anderson's desire to be recognized as somebody. Well, you're certainly recognized, Len. I especially like Jim's recounting amateur radio's contributions during WWII when there was no legal amateur radio operations in the USA. He cracks me up. Then there's Heil's thrilling tales of African adventures where he "synchronized" State Department communications via morsemanship in the 1980s... He opened and closed rtty circuits with CW? claiming that "radio communications paths were so poor that they would not support teleprinter/data modes." He was probably doing something wrong. None of that has anything to do with amateur radio...unless one counts the entirety of the Department of State as an "amateur" effort of foreign policy. "Sorry Len, State Dept. Communications IS Amateur Radio!" Hi, hi! Tsk. In other government radio, the U.S. military has maintained teleprinter/data networks 24/7 in equatorial regions as well as elsewhere some THIRTY YEARS PRIOR to Heil's tale of inability to get a State Department radio circuit working. [Asmara, Eritrea, was the principal relay point for DCS/Starcom/ACAN linkage of Manila, Phillipines, to Pirmasens, FRG, kept open on 24/7 basis from 1948 to about 1978...Asmara can be considered to be in the "equatorial region" of the African continent] I would consider it so. But I only have a degree in Geography. Lacking valid arguments on SUBJECTS he attempts personal attack by constant reference to non-licensed amateurs' postings as if those were "not allowed." Heil acts the bigot on newsgroup participation. I've never ever said anything about your postings not being allowed. I have stated that I don't give them any credence and I've suggested that others might want to discount the rantings of an old gent with no experience in amateur radio. You've gone way, way beyond that. You have, in comments to the FCC, said that they should disregard the comments of several radio amateurs. You're pathetic. Hmmm? You can ask folks to ignore Len, but Len cannot? January 25th, 1999, ten days beyond the cutoff date of Replies to Comments on 98-143 ("Restructuring"), Dudly the USMC imposter attempted to have the FCC disregard my Comment (a Reply to Comment of Michael Deignan) entire becasue of not being a licensed radio amateur or worthy of even making any comments. That one is still in public view at the FCC ECFS, in the archives. My Reply to Comment was stamped as "received" on 13 January 1999, also in public view. Other TN amateurs have referred to RA-4YZ as a "POS," according to Mark. Heil is of the dictatorial view that ONLY licensed radio amateurs are worthy of commenting/talking/discussing ANYTHING about amateur radio...the "clubhouse" syndrome. Of course, such an attitude would NEGATE U.S. government regulation and enforcement of amateur radio since no Commissioner or FCC staffer is required to hold any amateur radio license grants. That's a dichotomy in thinking of Heil as a former employee of the U.S. government. It's also friggin' WEIRD. Heil may have spent too much time in the basement with his radios. Heil (who claims to be a linguist of Hunnish) forgot, in another post, that the fictious name of "Dudley" was used by author Earnest K. Gann in his book, "Fate Is The Hunter."

The name "Dudley" is an actual name. The name "Dudly" doesn't exist. Very UNPROFESSIONAL, Leonard; very UNPROFESSIONAL. It's less unprofessional than working out of band Frenchmen on 6 meters, IMHO. Heil attempts to word-play in a puerile game of trying to be the schoolmistress rapping the knuckles of "students" who make minor "typographical" errors in spelling. Dave is smug. I did not mention any Hun who wishes to conquer any ham world, only that Heil attempts to be a master of Hunnish language and the only "judge" on translations of Hunnish to English. Dave must be multi-lingual. Dudly the USMC imposter is another subject, already exposed. The "Dudley" of Gann's book (published in 1961) is yet another subject. Heil is unable to tell the two apart. In that case he must think that the Gann pilot-imposter "Dudley" is the SAME as this newsgroup's USMC-imposter "Dudly" but cannot commit himself to comment. He's AWOL. You can tell the Mrs. that those dratted hams aren't giving you any respect again. Dave K8MN One ham isn't. Never has. Too smug to be bothered by a non-ham. Luckily we have a government organization.... Former government employee Heil seems overly bothered by a non- amateur (who is and has been a long time a Commercial/Professional licensee). That demonstrates his own insecurity. He should have been outraged when that illiterate fool Bruce got an Extra license. Fortunately, for the CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES, we are still protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. So far. Heil thinks that the First Amendment does NOT APPLY when discussing amateur radio subjects. His black uniform and jackboots must be too ill-fitting for him to tolerate deviation from his dictatorial wannabe-ruler complex. Very strange behavior exhibited by Heil. I need to read what Dave, Jim, Kelly, and Steve have sent in to the FCC. |

He was probably doing something wrong. Actually, I maintained the lowest QSY rate of any AFRECONE station. That part about claiming that propagation paths were so poor that there were times when they wouldn't support encrypted RTTY communications? It was absolutely true. Then again, neither you nor Len know where the other end of my circuit was. That'll just have to remain a mystery. None of that has anything to do with amateur radio...unless one counts the entirety of the Department of State as an "amateur" effort of foreign policy. Do you think has an anti-U.S. Foreign Policy bias, Brian? "Sorry Len, State Dept. Communications IS Amateur Radio!" Hi, hi! You wrote it. It is your quote. Don't be surprised if you see it again.

But I only have a degree in Geography. With that degree, you'd likely be able to figure that Bissau and Freetown are across the continent from Asmara. When my old colleagues speak of the "West African Echo" they don't include East Africa. Go figure. I didn't work into nor did I work through Asmara. The missing piece of the puzzle for both of you is the location of the station I worked into. Good luck.

That's a dichotomy in thinking of Heil as a former employee of the U.S. government. It's also friggin' WEIRD. Len has discussed. Len had commented. I'm guessing that Len has talked, though there's no evidence of it here. Len has insulted. Len has denigrated. Len has belittled. As to the FCC staffer schpiel, it has been previously addressed a number of times. Len isn't an FCC staffer, nor is he a radio amateur.

They were Len's spelling errors. Did you know that Len claims to be a PROFESSIONAL writer? I did not mention any Hun who wishes to conquer any ham world, only that Heil attempts to be a master of Hunnish language and the only "judge" on translations of Hunnish to English.

Do you think has an anti-U.S. Foreign Policy bias, Brian? I -could- pretend to not understand your question, but that would be too heilish. I think that Len has an anti-Heil bias. And when you apparently deny your professional radio experience, what are we to think? I think that you choose to not recognize your professional radio experience because it might get in the way of your denigrations of Len. "Sorry Len, State Dept. Communications IS Amateur Radio!"

Okay, let's use "demarche" in a sentence: All de morsemen do demarche in de ranks to de same code drumbeat.

He surely did, but not on the same frequency as the RTTY circuit. What frequency? Musta bin infrequently. REAL HF communicators in the post-WW2 period didn't need to "synchronize" their TTYs. Those machines synchronize from each other, were designed that way. If some HF net wanted to SET UP SCHEDULES of transmission, frequencies, etc., then they would have use ANOTHER TTY circuit, usually the "order wire" circuit used for command and control. Of course, with a small embassy having only one radio, it's a bit difficult. claiming that "radio communications paths were so poor that they would not support teleprinter/data modes." He was probably doing something wrong. Actually, I maintained the lowest QSY rate of any AFRECONE station. Is there an award for keeping folks on frequency too long? It might be a plaque with stylized hands and drum. That part about claiming that propagation paths were so poor that there were times when they wouldn't support encrypted RTTY communications? It was absolutely true. Then again, neither you nor Len know where the other end of my circuit was. That'll just have to remain a mystery. I've operated on encrypted circuits as well. That we lacked enough frequencies to operate 24/7 is true. Sunnuvagun. I shoulda chewed out the ACAN-Starcom-DCS people for keeping that Asmara-Manila link into USAEUR network going 24/7. I shoulda told them they COULDN'T DO THAT! [Davie told us in the future 30 decades afterwards!] None of that has anything to do with amateur radio...unless one counts the entirety of the Department of State as an "amateur" effort of foreign policy. Do you think has an anti-U.S. Foreign Policy bias, Brian? I -could- pretend to not understand your question, but that would be too heilish. Davie is from the gubmint...he here to help! I think that Len has an anti-Heil bias. And when you apparently deny your professional radio experience, what are we to think? I think that you choose to not recognize your professional radio experience because it might get in the way of your denigrations of Len. That sounds pretty close to what everyone has read! "Sorry Len, State Dept. Communications IS Amateur Radio!" Hi, hi! You wrote it. It is your quote. Don't be surprised if you see it again. "Hi, hi!" A joke. You're welcome to bring it up again at anytime - as a joke. JOKES ARE NOT ALLOWED IN A MORSEMAN GROUP!!! :-) Tsk. In other government radio, the U.S. military has maintained teleprinter/data networks 24/7 in equatorial regions as well as elsewhere some THIRTY YEARS PRIOR to Heil's tale of inability to get a State Department radio circuit working. [Asmara, Eritrea, was the principal relay point for DCS/Starcom/ACAN linkage of Manila, Phillipines, to Pirmasens, FRG, kept open on 24/7 basis from 1948 to about 1978...Asmara can be considered to be in the "equatorial region" of the African continent] I would consider it so. But I only have a degree in Geography. With that degree, you'd likely be able to figure that Bissau and Freetown are across the continent from Asmara. When my old colleagues speak of the "West African Echo" they don't include East Africa. Go figure. I didn't work into nor did I work through Asmara. The missing piece of the puzzle for both of you is the location of the station I worked into. Good luck. Ascension. Davie has achieved ultimate beatitude and ASCENDED?!? WOW! Tsk, tsk, tsk. All that misdirection to avoid agreement that Eritrea is close to the equator. :-) If anyone wants, I can reveal the TTY message header addresses (four-letter) used by the Army -and- State Department in relaying TTY messages. But, those were used in the 1950s and 1960s and well before Davie demarched into dis quadrangle. Heil is of the dictatorial view that ONLY licensed radio amateurs are worthy of commenting/talking/discussing ANYTHING about amateur radio...the "clubhouse" syndrome. Of course, such an attitude would NEGATE U.S. government regulation and enforcement of amateur radio since no Commissioner or FCC staffer is required to hold any amateur radio license grants. That's a dichotomy in thinking of Heil as a former employee of the U.S. government. It's also friggin' WEIRD. Len has discussed. Len had commented. I'm guessing that Len has talked, though there's no evidence of it here. Len has insulted. Len has denigrated. Len has belittled. I agree. Has Len been insulted? denigrated? belittled? Len has been insulted. Len has been denigrated. Len has been belittled. :-) [it's all in Google archives!] As to the FCC staffer schpiel, it has been previously addressed a number of times. Len isn't an FCC staffer, nor is he a radio amateur. Nor are most FCC staffers, even the ones dealing directly with amateur radio. Davie ain't IN the FCC, he's just a participant and a stray participle trying to sentence others who don't agree with him. Heil may have spent too much time in the basement with his radios. Now *that* would be weird. My hamshack consists of two, adjacent second floor rooms. You told us you lived in a tarpaper shack. Must be some "tarpaper" underlayment on the outside walls... :-) Heil attempts to word-play in a puerile game of trying to be the schoolmistress rapping the knuckles of "students" who make minor "typographical" errors in spelling. Dave is smug. I certainly can be from time to time. From time to time? Allatime! Plus arrogant, abusive, dictatorial to all that don't agree with him. :-) Len used a couple of words three or more times each. He spelled them in the same incorrect way each time. They were not typographical errors. They were Len's spelling errors. Did you know that Len claims to be a PROFESSIONAL writer? Aye. You should see my son's textbooks.... WOW! All professional writers are SUPPOSED to to absolutely pure "professional work" when they aren't getting paid? I didn't know that! Yes, I AM a professional writer in that I get money for work submitted for publishing. Several periodicals know that. The IRS knows that and the Franchise Tax Board of California knows that from the "miscellaneous income" tax forms submitted. I get nothing by being in here...with all the "nothing" morsemen. Heil is welcome to contact the IRS and Franchise Tax Board to dispute the above, but such would be wasted effort on his part. I did not mention any Hun who wishes to conquer any ham world, only that Heil attempts to be a master of Hunnish language and the only "judge" on translations of Hunnish to English. Dave must be multi-lingual. If the word belligerent is based in Latin, then I am. Len seems to think it was used by Attila and his horde. What word would attila have used? "HEIL!" :-) "Beware the Hun in the sun!" - old RAF fighter pilot expression. :-) I half expected Jimmie Noserve to come in here and write that quote! He MUST have read of it in his renowned historical reading! If anyone wants to learn Hunnish, they need only get a Capital One credit card and reform an invading Hun. It's in the ads. :-) |

Heil doesn't want to understand that ALL U.S. civil radio is regulated and enforced by the FCC, NOT the licensees. And the Dept. of State is a vehicle for DX destinations. It can be, *if* you know what you're doing. I'm sure there were lines of comm types waiting for some of your destinations. There may or may not have been. The number of hams working for the DOS is quite small and not all of them have family situations which would permit some of the tours I had. In my case, the additional pay and the opportunity to operate in some rare spots accounted for some of my assignments. My first tour in Helsinki was luck of the draw and my second tour in Helsinki was a needed break (at the bottom of a solar cycle) after three consecutive African hardship postings. Dave, off subject - are you eligible for military hops? No, I am not. I spent only four years in the military. It must be close to a decade since Heil ceased being a paid worker in the "foreign service" of the Department of State. Absolutely NO evidence has been presented of his having learned ANY diplomacy there. There you go, Brian. Len's made another factual error. It won't be five years until the end of this year. Fair enough. Should I call him a liar at this point? It isn't necessary. Your acknowledgement is sufficient. Do I threaten bricks through windows, slashed tires, terrorized wives? Maybe I need to start a new thread about how Len might be homosexual or an idiot or both? That isn't necessary but if you like, you may proceed. Do I need to do anything? No, thanks. You've already done so. As to learning "ANY diplomacy", there is never an instance where an ambassador calls a communications type and says, "We've just received news from Washington. I want you to go to the Foreign Ministry and make a demarche". And there you have it. Yes, there you have it. Ambassadors, Deputy Chiefs of Mission, Political and Economics Officers make demarches, telephone and write to foreign ministers, presidents, prime ministers and the like. Information Management personnel have quite different job requirements. He was merely their messenger. Perhaps it soothes you to cling to that belief. In addition to sending messages, what else did you do? I'm certain that I've outlined it before. In addition to sending messages, I received messages. :-) There's much more though. I operated and maintained the equipment which took care of all of that sending and receiving. I was responsible for the HF and VHF E&E nets and equipment. I was in charge of the embassy telephone system and supervised the receptionists. I was responsible for classified pouch despatch and receipt. I served as system administrator for classified and unclassifed LAN's and was responsible for stand alone PC's. I supervised the embassy mailroom staff. I ran frequency clearances for VIP visits, obtained VHF frequency permits for embassy repeater and simplex channels through the host country PTT. There were other duties, but I'm sure you get the idea. I'll bet you've retold your fascinating tale of BIG TIME HF work at ADA over fifty times. It is a story having nothing to do with amateur radio and everything to do with Len Anderson's desire to be recognized as somebody. Well, you're certainly recognized, Len. I especially like Jim's recounting amateur radio's contributions during WWII when there was no legal amateur radio operations in the USA. He cracks me up.

Actually, I maintained the lowest QSY rate of any AFRECONE station. Is there an award for keeping folks on frequency too long? No, there was an "Atta Boy" for choosing frequency pairs which did not necessitate keeping the distant end's ops busy dialing up receivers and retuning PA's. That part about claiming that propagation paths were so poor that there were times when they wouldn't support encrypted RTTY communications? It was absolutely true. Then again, neither you nor Len know where the other end of my circuit was. That'll just have to remain a mystery. I've operated on encrypted circuits as well.

And when you apparently deny your professional radio experience, what are we to think? First, it would be necessary for me to agree that I've denied my professional radio experience. I've not done so, but I've not done anything like Len's repetitive recounting of his ADA operations of a half-century back. I think that you choose to not recognize your professional radio experience because it might get in the way of your denigrations of Len. It isn't really relevant to amateur radio operation. My story dealing with the use of CW in Guinea-Bissau was strictly to counter Len's assertion that the U.S. Government was no longer using morse. He was wrong. He made a factual error. "Sorry Len, State Dept. Communications IS Amateur Radio!" Hi, hi! You wrote it. It is your quote. Don't be surprised if you see it again. "Hi, hi!" A joke. You're welcome to bring it up again at anytime - as a joke. I just don't expect to see you writing somewhere down the line, that I'd written such a goofy statement.

[my mention in here] Frank Gilliland and I used another fictitious name of "Dudly" in reference to another, a military pretender in here. There was no misspelling of "Dudley" at all, just the use of "Dudly" to differentiate from Gann's original name use. A shortened form of "Dudly" is "Dud" which also fits that other, the pretender. I see. It must be like your use of "Atila" to differentiate between the real "Attila" and your use of "beligerent" to differentiate between real warlike "belligerants". The name "Dudley" is an actual name. The name "Dudly" doesn't exist. Very UNPROFESSIONAL, Leonard; very UNPROFESSIONAL. It's less unprofessional than working out of band Frenchmen on 6 meters, IMHO.
