None of us "rail against" persons with commercial or military
experience BECAUSE of that experience, Brian...
Not true.
Is true. 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!
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.
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. You won't find a single posting by me in any "professional
radio" forum", Brian.
Yet Lennie, without one day's bit of experience in practical
Amateur Radio, persumes to know what's good for us.
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.
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?
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.
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.
You and he are the ONLY ones suggesting that the theory of
electronics or radio wave propagation are issues here.
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?
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?
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?
