Lennie's Scorecard Backfires

Why, Len? Because the *majority* disagree with you? Steve agreed with removing the Morse Code Exam. I guess that makes him "progressive." That's not what I said. It's what CQ magazine said that you said. I said I am in favor of allowing some access to HF without the Morse exam. You did use a couple of double negatives to disallow non code-tested hams access to narrowband operations. I also said I favor retaining the Morse exam for the Extra Class license and for limiting access to those frequencies where Morse is most used where the licensee has not demonstrated at least some proficiency in Morse Code. CQ didn't indicate that. 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. You haven't got *your* first amateur radio license, Len. That would make Len "unbiased." No, it would not. It VERY heavily predisposes Lennie to a specific view. He has no vested interest in Amateur Radio. 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. And what do *you* believe deep in your little heart, Len? That there is a God Is there? Really? Is there? 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. Sounds like sour grapes on your part. Sounds like several of the amateurs that remain on this news group. Such as? Seems everyone here, myself included, have expressed many different ideas on a great many issues. Your ideas are usually summed up with, "putz, liar, deceit, coward, dialing..." The actual count of individuals commenting showed that once duplicates and nonresponsive filings were removed, 55% of those commenting support at least a Morse Code test for Extra. Only 45% support the NPRM, with its complete removal of Morse Code testing. Where did your numbers come from? The FCC via Lennie's previous posts. Why? Did Jim check Len's work? A few days ago, you wrote: "3. The attitude towards morse code testing in the U.S. amateur community has been CHANGING all along...AWAY from the old, Old, OLD standards and practices." - Len Anderson But the filings on WT 05-235 show that the majority (55%!) of those who commented want at least some code testing. That majority is almost identical to those supporting more than one code test speed back in 1998. Show your work. It's LENNIE'S Work, Brain...The number are fluid, of course, but as of his last compilation, those numbers still come pretty close. So Jim just takes Len's work and posts it as his own, without even checking the validity of it? Another quote from what you wrote a few days ago: "That seems to **** you off greatly and makes you petulant, whiny, and accusatory. Tsk." - Len Anderson A perfect lead-in to the following: 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 It's interesting that you will go on and on and on about the motivations of people you've never met, but you won't tell us *your* motivations for changing the regulations of the Amateur Radio Service. Which is a radio service you are not involved in. Lots of people deciding the outcome of the NPRM are not involved "in" amateur radio. No...A FEW people are. Steve, K4YZ No license required to have an opinion wrt amateur radio. No license required to enforce amateur radio rules. No license required to restructure the ARS. No license required to drop the morse code exam. And that's the way it is. |
