He should be PROUD of it. Perhaps I'll petition my ARRL to come up with a new operating award. I encourage you to follow through with your idea. It is certain to be received with the attention it deserves. Fantastic! An endorsement from the World's Greatest DXer. I'll request that it be known as the "Heil Award," in your honor. 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. 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. Dave, off subject - are you eligible for military hops? 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. 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? 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? Do I need to do anything? 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. 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'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? He surely did, but not on the same frequency as the RTTY circuit. What frequency? 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? 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. 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. 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!" 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. 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. 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? 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. 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. 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. 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? 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.... 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? |
