Yikes! That sounds almost unconstitutional!

Quick...to the Supremes...have the ARRL argue that in
front of the robed crowd!

Jimmie has implied he is an EXPERT on military matters and can
"judge" veterans. However he NEVER served one moment of time
IN the military. [there's a minimum age requirement for that
as well as a maximum age...:-) ]

Jimmy may be many things, but he is no judge of the military nor its
veterans. The best Jim can do is stand on the sidewalk and wave a flag
as the parade goes by. Maybe Kelly and Cos will join him.

Great "cheering section"...NOT. :-)

Except for these guys. They can bitch up a storm.

In HERE. They seem to get "lost" when it comes time to
communicate with their own government...but that does NOT
stop them being judgemental to an ultimate degree in HERE.
Jimmie will "file when he wants to." In order to be counted,
he MUST file a Comment by October 31st and a Reply to Comments
by November 14. Maybe he thinks (because of his "superiority")
that the U.S. government will "listen to him" even if he files
beyond the official ending date? [I'm sure he does]

Jim will file. He'll do it from work tomorrow. Probably has nothing
else to do. He just doesn't want counter-comments at this time.

You have a point there...Jimmie no want any opposition to
his opinions. He gets all upset and starts making nasty
("just asking some questions") over and over and over again.

Jimmie ain't said he read ALL of the Comments in Docket 05-235.
He's said he will NOT do his own tally...but he is QUICK to
condemn and berate and call "inaccurate" the tallies of
others! Anyplace else he would be called a hypocrite. In here
he is a Morseman Extra.

I wonder what's on the "FISTS" site?

A bunch of ancient propaganda pro morsemanship, I'd expect.

Haven't bothered to look there since last year. Back then I
was looking up some ancient history on radio communication.
Morsemanship is ancient radio communications. :-)

Beep, beep, huh-rawhhh!

OK, from one Jim to another:

2nd Class Commercial Radiotelephone 1972

Coinventer US patent #5,358,202

I could go on...

But not much farther. Present employer unnamed. The patent is
described only as involving "vehicular technology" according
to one of Miccolis' old Comments on one of the 18 Petitions.
My sole-invention patent of 1974 is on RADIO. shrug

That slipped my mind. Len has taken numerous shots at my Air Force
service in Vietnam, though he doesn't seem to know what it is that I did
there.

It's not what you did there. What you didn't do in Vietnam appears to
have defined your time there. You were a frustrated amateur in Vietnam
which caused you to under go a career change.

What DID Heil DO in Vietnam? He's never been anymore specific
than Dudly the Imposter (of the "seven hostile actions").

He keeps alluding to MARS duty and I did spend time operating a
MARS circuit from Tan Son Nhut, but only in an off duty capacity.

That must be the MARS duty that he refers to. Or maybe not.

Damifino. Heil just hasn't been specifc about it. Can't
"take shots" at something invisible. :-)

Poor Davie has forgotten my quoting from the Army Center for
Military History which mentions the good morale service that
Army MARS did in Vietnam.

I think Len's a little too hard on you guys. I'm sure that your cuts
and jabs are given with the best of intentions.

I'm sure Jack the Ripper thought the same... :-)

I'm also sure Ted Bundy thought all his female victims "were
asking for it."

Len's description of what it was like to be under artillery fire--even
though he was never actually under artillery fire.

I was once but it was from U.S. Army artillery. :-)

Just the same, the 8235th Army Unit (that I was in) never
allowed any Tokyo territory to fall into communist hands! :-)

At the same time, that same battalion of signalmen were
moving message "traffic" at the rate of 220 thousand a month
over the Army Command and Administrative Network (later
integrated into the DCS or Defense Communications System),
a worldwide network. All with TTY. Not a single morse code
link in that system since 1948.

I thought that he was quoting W0EX or GrayJL or Xray or all three when
he said that.

Irrelevant. If Davie says I did bad, then I did bad. He is
da Judge! "Heah come da judge...heah come da judge!"

That brings us back to RST Jim. It is apparent that he's done a number
of things in amateur radio. Perhaps he hasn't been around long enough
to see who and what Len Anderson is. Maybe his agenda in defending Len
is something entirely different. Perhaps he'll explain. I'll be around
after the CQ WW SSB DX 'test.

James Weir runs RST Engineering. It is located in Grass Valley,
CA, in Nevada County (California's "gold country"). He ran for
Governor of California, had his picture in the L.A. Times as one
of many candidates. [a former Austrian citizen won the election]

I sent Jim Weir one of my computer programs (LCie4, synthesis and
analysis of passive-component inductor-capacitor filters) and he
stated that this (freeware) program has been used by his students
(successfully) in Grass Valley. We had some brief e-mail exchages
that resulted in my modifying the older LCie program to fit the
DOS 7 in newer Windows. LCie was written in MS FORTRAN 5.1 but on
an earlier operating system and that (now unsupported by MS)
FORTRAN did not have the compiler links to fit DOS 7. LCie4 runs
only under DOS, doesn't have the flash, dash, or pizazz of color
Windows but is nonetheless accurate and proven. It is freeware
to anyone requesting it...something I mentioned in rec.radio.
amateur.homebrew some time ago.

RST Engineering makes some neat electronics for general aviation
aircraft. RST has a nice website if anyone cares to look. One
of the neat things they do is what I would term "SURFACE MOUNT
VHF antennas" for aircraft fabric surfaces. :-) Neat! They
don't stick out in the airstream and thus have minimal drag.
[international civil aviation band is 108 to 137 MHz]

But, but, but what if the Coslo BBS is up and running? Hi, hi!

Then the Coslonaut will - once again - be "at the edge of
space!"

By the way, outer space is only a half hour's drive away...
provided your car can go straight UP. :-)

Jimmie thought he could get another to the dirty work he
craved. :-)

Jim is completely oblivious to everything except his own peeves.

That's IMPORTANT to him. Personally, I think he wants Dave
Sumner's job of writing editorials in QST for the ARRL.

He ought to do a historical article on how he pioneered
the NTS as a teen-age ham in those ancient days of the
1970s.

If he means me, *why* can't he just call me Jim, or N2EY?

All this confusion, then you go ahead and answer af if it were you he
was referring to. That is the lie that Mark refers to.

Further reinforcement of the misdirection onto Jimmie's demand
for FORMALITY and RESPECTFULNESS...when it comes to HIM. :-)

Whole nother set of rules for Jim.

PCTA Double Standard...alive and well in rrap.

MMMM.

The only "standard" that is allowed is unflagging allegiance
to the Order of the Church of St. Hiram.

Poor Jimmie. I dropped that "age requirement for amateur licensees"
six years ago and he just can't LET GO of it. He MUST keep on
arguing and arguing and arguing and arguing it over and over and
over and over again...perhaps hoping that I will "give in" or
acknowledge his Lordship's Superior Intellect or whatever. :-)

He just wants me to bring up him saying that "A Morse Code Exam would
be a barrier to Morse Code Use."

He hasn't done it YET. How long has it been?

He's embarassed that he ever utered such words. Might get him tossed
out of FISTS.

It's sort of like Dee Flint - experienced scoutmaster - wanting
to "explain" scouting to all...and especially to adult leaders.

By ignoring critique from those who actually know, they can
claim "message victory" and that they are really "right." :-)

I'm just opposed to a minimum age requirement for an amateur radio
license.

Good for you. Len is in favor of an age requirement.

What I "favor" is NOT allowed in here according to James P.
Miccolis, renowned amateur historian and mighty macho motivated
morseman extra. :-)

He is self-appointed.

But...he might have an "official certificate" (suitable for framing)
saying he IS one or both of those! :-)

I think I still have some blank Air Force certificates of thanks.

You could send a few to all those "military supporters" out
there. The first one ought to go to "Captain" Stevie Wonder
of the TN CAP for "outstanding service." [he stood out on the
flightline]

The second one ought to go to long-time supporter and athlete
cup holder Jimmie for all that extraordinary traffic direction
on the NTS and his historical knowledge of the military.

You gotta remember that these guys are almost always behind the times.

They'd probably be behind the Wall Street Journal...if they could
afford a copy. :-)

Having to build a tube transmitter probably saved him a bunch.

He made up for it in all the praise he got from all his neighbors
who came in to admire his extraordinary work and praise his
expertise in pioneering vacuum tube technology in the 1990s.

Everyone is scrupulously honest in morse mode...they never ever
swear, are always civil towards one another, and never is heard
a discouraging word while the skies are not cloudy all day...

Home, home on the RADAR Range...

Well, after (ugh) reading through 3,599 filings on the FCC ECFS
under WT Docket 05-235 (up to 31 October 2005), I'm convinced
that way too many radio amateurs are still stuck to the glorious
past of a half century ago in radio communications. Their bliss
over the efficacy of morsemanship shines on under skies unclouded
by progress in technology...which had already begun before they
got their first amateur license. They BELIEVE deep in their
little hearts that morsemanship is THE essential ingredient in
becoming an extra-super-special radio "expert," "well-rounded"
and a "leader" in amateurism. It's a Belief so deep, so basic,
that they are convinced that ALL morsemen are "experts" on
everything and those who don't Believe as they do are heretics
who know nothing about everything.

Must be wonderful to exist in such deep delusions of grandeur,
very satisfying, off in a wonderland of their own fantasies
of self-importance and Greatness. shrug

I see the sentence with my name in it. I see the sentence which follows
it. That is typical of your behavior.

Heil did NOT answer the question. Heil did NOT supply any
details of what he did with a MARS thing in Tan Son Nhut.

Tsk, that too is "typical" of Heil's remarks in here. :-(

Damifino. Heil just hasn't been specifc about it. Can't
"take shots" at something invisible. :-)

Then again, you have already done so on a number of occasions. :-) :-)

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Heil have a guilty conscience?

Poor Davie has forgotten my quoting from the Army Center for
Military History which mentions the good morale service that
Army MARS did in Vietnam.

I've forgotten, have I? What're you, Madame Cleo?
I was never assigned to a MARS unit anywhere, anytime in the military.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Maybe Bob Hope never did a USO show at Tan
Son Nhut? :-)

I'm pretty certain that Len Anderson thinks he's somehow involved in
amateur radio too.

Pity the FCC then...they regulate and enforce ALL civil radio
in the United States, including amateur radio. Absolutely
none of the staff nor commissioners are required to be granted
any amateur radio license in order to regulate and enforce.

Tsk, tsk, tsk...I'm just trying to eliminate the morse code test
from United States amateur radio regulations. According to the
United States Constitution (First Amendment), all citizens have
the RIGHT to free speech in the USA.

Just the same, the 8235th Army Unit (that I was in) never
allowed any Tokyo territory to fall into communist hands! :-)
At the same time, that same battalion of signalmen were
moving message "traffic" at the rate of 220 thousand a month
over the Army Command and Administrative Network (later

a worldwide network. All with TTY. Not a single morse code
link in that system since 1948.

It took an entire battalion of signalmen to do that, Len? All this
time, I was under the impression that you did it all by yourself.

Tsk, tsk. Davie can't "impress" people as he wishes.

I've never said what you think I did. I explained it several
times...but your mind can't grasp that, can it?

I explained that station ADA was operating "24/7" meaning (in
colloquial use) around-the-clock, every day of the week. You
said that "was never done." It was. It was done on a FAR
LARGER scale than any MARS facility anywhere. ADA did carry
MARS TTY traffic on a second-priority basis when the primary
circuit wasn't busy.

I explained the RESPONSIBILITY of team leaders in keeping the
transmitters up and operating, one part of the entire operation,
but you insist on word-twisting to suit your savage beast
within that wants to fight. All you wish to do is denigrate
anyone who did MORE in REAL HF radio than you did. Tsk, tsk.

James Weir runs RST Engineering. It is located in Grass Valley,
CA, in Nevada County (California's "gold country").

Fine. I don't want to deflate his ego but when I saw a post from "RST
Engineering" signed "Jim", it meant nothing to me. I never heard of it
or him.

Tsk, tsk. Jim Weir has posted in here for several years.

That YOU didn't notice that is not my concern.

YOU seem to "notice" only those posts where you can engage
in word fights with your "opponents." Down, big warrior.

He ran for
Governor of California, had his picture in the L.A. Times as one
of many candidates. [a former Austrian citizen won the election]

No doubt Jim's charm, as evidence here, was a factor.

Davie said, sarcasm dripping down his chin like alien slime...

That's nice.

Damn straight. LCie4 IS a very nice program for quickly and
accurately synthesizing (designing) and analyzing a passive L-C
filter of lowpass, highpass, bandpass, or bandstop configuration.
The user can optionally change component values, modify Q of
inductors or capacitors, do printouts of schematics or analysis
results (or store them in a file), analyze input and output
impedances in lieu of normal decibel insertion loss, phase change,
or group delay. It's been proven in real hardware results that
came out exactly as predicted.

RST Engineering makes some neat electronics for general aviation
aircraft. RST has a nice website if anyone cares to look.

I looked at the web site. It isn't particularly nice. If one orders
online, the payment information isn't even sent securely.

You aren't involved in general aviation. You have NO business
with general aviation let alone private flying. Why are YOU
being critical of something you aren't even close to being
involved in?

Why are YOU being critical of someone else's website to ME?

You don't even live in California. You have NO business with
any California elections of any kind. Why do you give a ****
of any elections of governors in California or state politics?

One
of the neat things they do is what I would term "SURFACE MOUNT
VHF antennas" for aircraft fabric surfaces. :-) Neat! They
don't stick out in the airstream and thus have minimal drag.
[international civil aviation band is 108 to 137 MHz]

I've not noted many fabric surfaces on the aircraft I've seen in recent
decades.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. There are tens of thousands of general aviation
aircraft having "fabric" covering in United States registry
alone. That YOU "haven't seen them" doesn't mean they exist.
In a half hour's drive from my residence, I can go to two major
airports and one air park that have well over a thousand such
"fabric" covered aircraft.

You said nothing about "surface mounting," indicating you are
unable to perceive any humor (as in "SMD" now the common method
of electronics hardware construction) or the fact that MOST of
a general aviation aircraft structure UNDER the skin is largely
empty. Any antenna can thus be mounted on the surface of a
non-conductive skin and be largely unaffected on characteristics
in that position. Rather basic EM theory involved there, but
meaningless to those who will not bother to think about basic
radio theory.

Thanks for providing the information on the aircraft band.
Perhaps nobody here knew where the band could be found.

YOU have NO BUSINESS with general aviation concerns, are NOT
INVOLVED. It is no surprise that those who are NOT INVOLVED
would be ignorant of technical details. Amateur radio is NOT
INVOLVED with the international civil aviation band in VHF or
the specific frequencies for that in the HF spectrum.

If you have any more questions, don't be afraid to show your
ignorance. You haven't yet.

With warmest, best regards,
