What I had said was that Brian's demonization of some of us who make reference to contributions made during WW2 doesn't stand the litmus test of objectivity. The "War Department" and other agencies of the era went on record as praising the ARRL and it's members for the contributions you cited, Dave... If I made contributions to dental hygeine during any war, it would not be as an amateur radio operator. You guys, who constantly rail against persons having commercial and military radio experience, should know that whatever those amateurs did during WWII were not doing it as amateurs. Unless you are now adopting a wider view of what constitutes radio knowledge. Is that what you're doing? Hmmmmm? |

What does knowing ANYthing about "RF" have to do with knowing about the Amateur Radio service? I worked with many engineers in 2000. About a third of them were Amateur licensees. The rest weren't. They were excellent in thier fields. But they knew nothing of Amateur Radio. Lennie's "knowledge" of "Amateur Radio" comes from having used an Amateur Radio magazine to get his "writings" into print and from his flailing's-about in this forum. Best of Luck. For what? Pulling the rug out from underneath you and Lennie? That didn't need luck...You make it all too easy. Thanks. Steve, K4YZ |

He doesn't "tell" me anything! There you go personalizing everything. You're just itching for a fight, aren't you?. Dudly the Imposter is a MIGHTY WARRIOR...on-screen. Off-screen the best he can do is pose in some kind of uniform and pretend to be a great "hero." :-) Your buddy on the liberal coast is the ONLY one here who routinely "rails against" anyone based upon RADIO (ie technical and theoretical) experience. Not true. Is true. Unless we include you. Citation, please. Dudly the Imposter issues his own citations. He makes them up on the spot to suit his personal HATRED of certain others. :-) Dudly seems to be the usual east-coastie kind of geographical BIGOT. He wants to call anyone on the west coast of the United States as a "liberal." Once in a while as a "leftist." :-) Tennessee doesn't have a seacoast at all. Dudly must have ENVY of anyone being on any "coast." :-) His attacks on me based upon having been an Armed Forces Avionics Tech and Jim, N2EY, for his various projects are point-in-case. And you presume to tell Len how he should be doing things. Nope. I have not once suggested how he conduct his "professional" career. Hi, hi! You deny that he has had a "professional" career. Going back through virtual volumes of Dudly the Imposter's postings in this newsgroup, anyone will find that Dudly has continually hurled personal insults about my working career and HAS told me what I "should have been doing." Several others have done so. [par for the course in this din of inequity] I'll just sit back and grin while Dudly gets up another head of steam to hurl more personal insults at me. He is so obsessed with his HATRED of certain others that he must be quite unaware of what he is doing. You won't find a single posting by me in any "professional radio" forum", Brian. You are so unprofessional that you wouldn't know where to find one. He might know where a Purchasing Agent forum is...but didn't last long in that singular "professional" area... Yet Lennie, without one day's bit of experience in practical Amateur Radio, persumes to know what's good for us. Funny. That's just what the FCC does. It's the LAW! :-) No one doubts that Lennie knows how a radio works or that he was an adequate bench technician. Not true. How many lies will you rack up in this single post? Is true. I've said it before, and I said it right there. What you say from one day to the next is inconsistant and suspect. It's a Monte Carlo random-HATE situation...whatever the subject is, Dudly the Imposter has to hurl SOME kind of personal insult at his HATE object. Note the "...was an adequate bench technician." Dudly has so little experience "on the bench" and NONE as a "technician" (in the electronics industry) that he is supremely UNqualified to judge anything in the industry. However he has, to this date, zero-point-zero hours of experience as a licensed Radio Amateur. Nor does the Chairman of the FCC. The Chairman of the FCC is not in this forum, now is he? Nor is Mr. Haney. And I do mind where some "experienced" amateurs are trying to point the ARS. Neither the Commissioners nor anyone on the Staff of the FCC are required by LAW to hold amateur radio license grants in order to FULLY REGULATE United States amateur radio. Somehow Dudly just can't understand that absolute Fact of Law. Tsk. He is not now nor ever has been a radio OPERATOR as it pertains to Amateur Radio practice. He has zero-point-zero hours of experience in emergency communications. His list ot "zeros" is lengthy, yet he pretends to be an authority on Amateur Radio policies and/or practices. Ditto the Chaiman of the FCC and his numerous staffers. Soon, he's going to "presume" to tell you how it is, both on policy and practice. And they are not in this forum, are they? However the Chairman and his staff DO have Amateurs on the FCC payroll from whom thye take counsel. Conflict of interest. A few things on the above... First of all, the FCC has "counsel" from LAWYERS since they are a legal regulatory agency of the federal government. The FCC regulates MANY DIFFERENT radio services, ALL the civil radio services in the United States. Secondly, I do have some experience in emergency communications, but definitely not as an amateur. While that is irrelevant to this so- called "discussion," Dudly the Imposter is, as usual, WRONG in his personal attacks. Third, by definition of LAW, an amateur radio license grant covers BOTH operator AND station. Fourth, "operating" any radio is just operating it. Dudly's interpretation refers only to the use of on-off keying morse code as "operation." Such morse code use is found only in the AMATEUR service and a very few vessels in Maritime Radio Service. Fifth, expressing an OPINION on radio regulations is NOT any pretense of being an "authority." It is just expression of an OPINION. Dudly the Imposter has NO "authority" on radio regulations. Neither do any of the current communicators in this newsgroup. Sixth, Jim Haney, elected president of the ARRL, has been IN this newsgroup some years ago, but only for a short while. I advised him in private e-mail that this would lead to trouble within the newsgroup from others who were not happy with ARRL policies...and that would create a bad image of the ARRL as a result of flak from those that (like Dudly) love to personally insult anyone. Seventh, the full organization of the FCC is explained on their website, including all of the higher staff positions of Bureaus and Offices and Working Groups. To reiterate, the FCC is not concerned solely with amateur radio since their charter by LAW is to regulate the ENTIRETY of civil radio in the United States. He's nothing of the sort. Your adaptation of his diversion about how "we" allegedly "diss" him along some ill-perceived lines of how radios work or RF propagates is assinine. Not true. Lie #4. Is true. And I can see you're back in form. Myself and others have "called" Lennie based upon NUMEROUS errors as they pertain to Amateur Radio policy and practice. Everyone makes mistakes. Even you as, I have pointed out so many times before. The "makes numerous errors" charge is another FALSE one, but often used in newsgroups (even way back before USENET existed and all there was was the original ARPANET) to color an opponents' posts. The "numerous errors" derive from certain individuals using THEIR personal preferences as THE judgemental point...any deviation from that personal preference is considered "wrong." A typical one is some kind of "fact" that morse code is supposed to be "basic to the knowledge of any radio amateur." In itself that is false insofar as operating any radio communication device of any radio service, grounded in personal preferences. The morsemen try to "legalize" that by playing barracks lawyer in the newsgroup and showing the license test requirements as their "proof." Dudly the Imposter has never "pertained to amateur radio policy and practice" but only repeated a few morse myths and posted many news items (which he did not participate in nor did he report as any kind of journalist). Dudly has not been able to categorize subjects, cannot properly use all of the words he thinks are 'necessary' (such as "venue" or "licensure" lately, confusing their application in other fields far removed from radio). Dudly has NO ("zero-point-zero") experience in ANY radio communication (other than perhaps CB) before 1970 and thus - by his own standards - cannot possibly express any sort of qualified opinion of amateur radio operation before then. You and he are the ONLY ones suggesting that the theory of electronics or radio wave propagation are issues here. You are the one suggesting it. Len and I are the ones pointing it out. I'm just pointing out the HOLES in Dudly's "reasoning" and the personal insults he continually hurls at certain individuals he obsessively HATES. :-) Lastly, the original argument was about contributions that Amatuers made during WW2. All of the references I made were to electronics-related fields for which AMATEURS were SPECIFCIALLY sought and recruited due to thier already-demonstrated competency or skill in radiocommunications. Hmmmm? There's that damned one way valve again. Amateurs can jump in and fill military and commercial radio roles, but commercial and military radio Ops can have absolutely NO knowledge of amateur comms! Hi, hi! Talk about an Iron Curtain! Your brain is on "diode." Nope. Where did I say that, Brian? Then tell us how it works, again. Brian, do not expect the impossible. :-) Dudly the Imposter has NO existance prior to 1955. He cannot possibly "know" anything of World War 2 by personal experience. All his input comes from AMATEUR RADIO literature. Such amateur radio literature is colored to favor the wish-fulfillment of radio amateurs. Actually, the much wider field of electronics has considerable REAL history of who did what for whom. No one, myself included, ever stated that thier licensure was the end-all or sole reason for thier employment or service. Steve, K4YZ Cronyism and Nepotism are as good reasons as any. You could do worse by having someone who actually knows something about RF making comments on the ARS. What does knowing ANYthing about "RF" have to do with knowing about the Amateur Radio service? The FCC tests us on knowledge of RF for "licensure." Take it up with them. Apparently Dudly the Imposter does NOT know anything about "radio" or the propagation of electromagnetic radiation! :-) Or he has forgotten anything to do with RF on his amateur radio license test. The Volunteer Examiner Coordinators' Question Pool Committee generates the questions and answers for the amateur radio license test. The FCC either approves or disapproves those questions and answers. Testing of radio amateurs for their licenses is done almost entirely by the Volunteer Examiner Coordinator groups (the FCC can demand certain individuals to be tested by the FCC in certain dispute cases...that is also the LAW). The FCC does NOT use the term "licensure" in regards to amateur radio licenses or the licensing process. That term is used in some civil governments for licensing in other fields of activity. Dudly may think he is "highbrow" or an "authority" if he uses the word "licensure." :-) I worked with many engineers in 2000. About a third of them were Amateur licensees. The rest weren't. They were excellent in thier fields. But they knew nothing of Amateur Radio. Holy Cow! A third of the engineers were amateur radio operators but knew nothing of Amateur Radio? Were they RF engineers? Dudly the Imposter admitted he worked as a PURCHASING AGENT for a set-top-box manufacturer. Purchasing Agents do NOT do any sort of "design" work nor do they do any testing of the final product, whatever that may be. Purchasing Agents are the equivalent of technical bookkeepers and form-filler-outers and their "communications knowledge" is limited to using a telephone. Dudly has "zero-point-zero" experience in electronics engineering of any kind, "zero-point-zero" experience as a "bench top technician" (in the industry). He has NO baseline for judgement other than continually being obsessed with insulting others from his obsessive HATRED. Lennie's "knowledge" of "Amateur Radio" comes from having used an Amateur Radio magazine to get his "writings" into print and from his flailing's-about in this forum. It's too bad that you are allowed to continue to denigrate a fine amateur radio builders publication merely to discredit Len's articles that were contained within it's covers. Dudly the Imposter will insult anyone if he can make "message points" and partially soothe his obsessive HATRED of some in this newsgroup. [that is continually on display in here] I could list the Editors in Chief of Ham Radio magazine and describe much of its 22-year independent existance as an amateur radio technical publication. Suffice to say that all 22 years of articles in it are on a three-CD set available from CQ or the ARRL bookstores for $150 (shipping charges extra). HR is still considered the "top" of the technical periodicals for amateur radio worldwide (the RSGB's "Radio Communication" magazine perhaps a close second). HR, like CQ and 73, never had the backing of an entire membership organization to assure it of continued existance (as QST does) and they managed to exist for 22 years solely on income from advertising sales. My hat is off and a salute given to Jim Fisk (SK), Alf Wilson, Rich Rosen, and Terry Northrup, wherever they are now, for editorial leadership throughout those 22 years. Tsk, I've written for other electronics magazines and have had the pleasure of being acquainted with radio amateurs since 1947...among them Gene Hubbell (the first H of H&H Electronics in Rockford, IL, now SK), Captain William P. Boss, Officer in Charge of ADA Transmitters (1953-1954), Sergeant First Class Don Ross (NCOIC at ADA Transmitters 1954-1956, holder of an Amateur Extra as well as both First Telegraph and First Phone Commercial licenses), Eugene Rosenbaum (retired from the FAA and living in Long Island, NY), Allan Walston (W6MJN, best man at my wedding and co-worker in the RCA Cube Farm), James Hall (KD6JG, retired and on the RCA network from near Grass Valley, CA, on Saturdays), and a whole bunch of other good people that I've known and/or worked with over the last 58 years. It doesn't require personal acquaintenship to "know about amateur radio" since nothing of it is either "secret" or "sensitive" or "to be kept within the confines of a fraternal order." United States amateur radio is NOT a guild, union, or trade craft that takes some kind of special learned-over-many-years experience, nor is it some "national service" organization vital to the nation. It is a fun hobby, an activity done for personal pleasure but one that requires federal regulation due to the nature of EM propagation. Some want it to be MUCH MORE than what it is in order to fulfill some kind of daydream they have to show their personal greatness. shrug Best of Luck. For what? Pulling the rug out from underneath you and Lennie? That didn't need luck...You make it all too easy. You are truly delusional. Dudly the Imposter is a delusional sociopath with an unfulfilled ego. That manifests itself as an obssessive hatred of certain individuals who will not suck up to him and his opinions. Tsk. He cannot "discuss", only insult others who disagree with him. This will continue until he gets some professional help for his mental affliction. |

Who else in this forum with "commercial or military" communications experience rants on-and-on like Lennie? We DO "rail against" people who have NO experience in AMATEUR RADIO who then come to an Amateur Radio forum and presume to tell us how we should be "doing" things. He doesn't "presume." He does so. He doesn't "tell" me anything! There you go personalizing everything. You're just itching for a fight, aren't you?. With you or Lennie? Sheesh. Not much of a challenge there. Your buddy on the liberal coast is the ONLY one here who routinely "rails against" anyone based upon RADIO (ie technical and theoretical) experience. Not true. Is true. Unless we include you. Citation, please. Wade through about a ton of LennieRant's from the last seven years, Brain. They are prolific. Period. Longhand punctuation? His attacks on me based upon having been an Armed Forces Avionics Tech and Jim, N2EY, for his various projects are point-in-case. And you presume to tell Len how he should be doing things. Nope. I have not once suggested how he conduct his "professional" career. Hi, hi! You deny that he has had a "professional" career. No, I've not. I've stated that I doubt that his career is all that his stories make him out to be. Kinda like your "There I was in Somalia..." stuff. You won't find a single posting by me in any "professional radio" forum", Brian. You are so unprofessional that you wouldn't know where to find one. Uh huh...WHO is "personalizing" this, Brain? Yet Lennie, without one day's bit of experience in practical Amateur Radio, persumes to know what's good for us. Funny. That's just what the FCC does. Nope. Comparing Lennie to the FCC is like comparing a mob hitman to a Sheriff's Deputy. No one doubts that Lennie knows how a radio works or that he was an adequate bench technician. Not true. How many lies will you rack up in this single post? Is true. I've said it before, and I said it right there. What you say from one day to the next is inconsistant and suspect. Nope. But it obviously makes you warm and fuzzy to promulgate such lies. Of course lying is easy for you. However he has, to this date, zero-point-zero hours of experience as a licensed Radio Amateur. Nor does the Chairman of the FCC. The Chairman of the FCC is not in this forum, now is he? Nor is Mr. Haney. And I do mind where some "experienced" amateurs are trying to point the ARS. Mr Haney DOES have tons of experience in Amateur Radio. Weak diversion, Brain. Try again? He is not now nor ever has been a radio OPERATOR as it pertains to Amateur Radio practice. He has zero-point-zero hours of experience in emergency communications. His list ot "zeros" is lengthy, yet he pretends to be an authority on Amateur Radio policies and/or practices. Ditto the Chaiman of the FCC and his numerous staffers. Soon, he's going to "presume" to tell you how it is, both on policy and practice. And they are not in this forum, are they? However the Chairman and his staff DO have Amateurs on the FCC payroll from whom they take counsel. Conflict of interest. WHAT conflict of interest? It's no more a "conflict of interest" to have Amateurs on the FCC payroll and providing counsel about Amatuer issues than it is to have any OTHER service represented. He's nothing of the sort. Your adaptation of his diversion about how "we" allegedly "diss" him along some ill-perceived lines of how radios work or RF propagates is assinine. Not true. Lie #4. Is true. And I can see you're back in form. Myself and others have "called" Lennie based upon NUMEROUS errors as they pertain to Amateur Radio policy and practice. Everyone makes mistakes. Even you as, I have pointed out so many times before. But I admit mine. Lennie's several years behind. You're a close second. You and he are the ONLY ones suggesting that the theory of electronics or radio wave propagation are issues here. You are the one suggesting it...(SNIP) No, I am not. (UNSNIP).....Len and I are the ones pointing it out. Then we have you in yet another mistruth, Brain. I have N E V E R suggested that there is one iota of difference in theory, technology OR propagation. If you insist on suggesting otherwise, you are wantonly lying. Lastly, the original argument was about contributions that Amatuers made during WW2. All of the references I made were to electronics-related fields for which AMATEURS were SPECIFCIALLY sought and recruited due to thier already-demonstrated competency or skill in radiocommunications. Hmmmm? There's that damned one way valve again. Amateurs can jump in and fill military and commercial radio roles, but commercial and military radio Ops can have absolutely NO knowledge of amateur comms! Hi, hi! Talk about an Iron Curtain! Your brain is on "diode." Nope. Where did I say that, Brian? Then tell us how it works, again. How "what" works, Brain? No one, myself included, ever stated that thier licensure was the end-all or sole reason for thier employment or service. Steve, K4YZ Cronyism and Nepotism are as good reasons as any. You could do worse by having someone who actually knows something about RF making comments on the ARS. What does knowing ANYthing about "RF" have to do with knowing about the Amateur Radio service? The FCC tests us on knowledge of RF for "licensure." Take it up with them. And, just as Lennie the Liar, blindly skip over the OTHER parts of the exam and weakly try to slip in yet another diversion. lame...really lame. I worked with many engineers in 2000. About a third of them were Amateur licensees. The rest weren't. They were excellent in thier fields. But they knew nothing of Amateur Radio. Holy Cow!

It's too bad that you are allowed to continue to denigrate a fine amateur radio builders publication merely to discredit Len's articles that were contained within it's covers. Where, Brain, was ONE WORD of "denigration" of the MAGAZINE...?!?! Best of Luck. For what? Pulling the rug out from underneath you and Lennie? That didn't need luck...You make it all too easy. You are truly delusional. There you go calling the pot black again, Oh Parroting One. Kinda like your accusations of me "denigrating" a "fine amateur radio buildrs publication. Brian P Burke ("hot-ham-and-cheese", "billybeeper") is a known pathological liar. Beware. Steve, K4YZ |
