Hmmm? "A lifelong interest..."

That's enough to get the boys in the hood all nasty with you.

You see, Len has had a lifelong interest in radio. But in rrap, if
you've had a lifelong interest in radio and don't have a ham license,
it gets these guys all upset.

I know what you mean, HH&C.

Some of them bring their sorrow to rrcb also. Here's one of the bigger
culprits:

Plus, we MUST be "accurate!" [don't forget that]

In the spirit of sustaining "accuracy," I have NOT had a
"LIFELONG interest in radio." I had a moderate interest
in it (all of electronics really) until my Army
assignment posted me to a major Army radio communications
facility in early February 1953. I was then 20, rather
out of "teen-age" years.

Ooops! My bad. This is the part where Tennessee Nurse Steven J
Robeson, LPN, jumps in and calls me a lying, deceitful coward.

He WILL! ...about anything at any rate... :-)

Bingo, BIG TIME INTEREST from
then on! So big I was on the road to changing my career
goals when I got out of the Army in 1956. See:

http://kauko.hallikainen.org/history...ment/stations/
My3Years.pdf

Ah! I knew it was something like that.

My bad, maybe...so few of the regulars in here have done
anything like that. Gets them all upset, like. Mebbe
they think that amateur radio does NOT exist on HF?

Made a "big mistake" (according to a mighty macho
motivated morseman in here) in getting a professional
radio license in '56, not an amateur one. Tsk, tsk.
Worse yet, I got a JOB in radio that year to do REAL
WORK with that license! [horrors, how un-ham-like!]

Len, how could you?

It was in a fit of clarity and logical thought. That, and
wanting to do something productive instead of living in a
fantasyland of wondrous big-time bragging about morse.

Never used morse code, never had to in the Army. Never
used morse code, or had to, in my career since...which
included "working" a station ON the moon. [real DX]



No morese code?

Nope, none. Not even morris code, not morris the cat, not
even with threats of the whouff-hong and the rettysnitch.

Wonder if Dudly the Imposter has logged onto Setiathome
yet? TRUE radio astronomy going on there. Seti has already
found dozens of repetitive signal sources all over the sky,
have that available at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu.
Right now I'm on my 422nd data unit, running it in the
background. Each one takes about 11 hours on a 2 GHz clock
computer for the "classic" (older) version of supplied
software. Each data unit represents only 104 seconds of
time at any particular point in the sky. I'm also running
Seti in the background using BOINC, the Berkeley Open
Infrastructure software (also free) and am on the 2nd data
unit with that.

With the classic version, participants can get a nice little
certificate (suitable for framing) after completing 100, 250,
or 1000 hours of CPU time. Just the ticket for self-propelled
self-defined expert braggarts to show their "expertise" in
radio astronomy. :-)

In a way, I'm glad Jimmie isn't involved in Seti. If an ET
was ever found, Jimmie would try to argue his case for
morse code with them, **** off ET, and Earth would likely face
Annihilation! :-)

One of them never served, but speaks of "real military service."
Another talks about the service that amateur radio gave during WWII,
but as I read the history, Amateur Radio was shut down during WWII. I
tend not to listen to such experts.

I'm sure that after reading about the certificate, Steve will be
logging onto that (awful) West Coast site, post haste.

Jim would send and send and send. Never understanding that Morse Code
is NOT a universal language.

nah you are both wrong the Aliens would never notice a signal was being
sent esp by those old timers sending badly sent morse code ust to trip
a code reader unit

after in Indenpendance Day they managed to send the CW under the aliens
noses, that movie is still the best and most likely case I have yet
seen for Morse Code saving the world

That and the movie "The Poseidon Adventure". They tapped out code on the
belly of an inverted ocean liner to people on the outside. Pure folly.

Mr Riddle your have that wrong I know the movie well (unless you are
refering to something out a new movie I saw an ad for) no morse code
usd in the shaft alley just banging away till they were ehard by the
rescurers on the hull

far fecthed though i agree

Why?

Countless reports from Pearl Harbor stated that such bangings were
heard from the hulls of various ships for days after the attacks. Some
resulted in rescues...All too many just faded away.

ho many of them used morse signal that was the claim tapping out morse
never saw such a report if you want to show me a claim from the day
that morse coded tapping was used form decent source I'll admit the
calim but mere claims of tapping say nothing about morse code use in
that atpping
