Ever notice that James P. Miccolis never concerned himself
at all about Dudly the Imposter calling me "Lennie" for
over a year in here? :-)

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
