The code test speed for the Extra was set at 20 wpm at that time. That's what Len said. But when you say it, it just takes longer. Congratulations. No, it wasn't, but that's OK. We know you were trying to "cover" Lennie's "six". "Len's" Why? Because the older-timers influencing the NAAR lobbyists thought they were hot snit for amateur radio because so many had been professional telegraphers. No, that's not true at all. It does have that appearance. Some men in "drag" have a certain "appearance", however certain OTHER truths remain. So with your "argument". What does sexuality have to do with this discussion? Why don't hams working for the FCC have to put away their licenses as to not incur a conflict of interest? That would like having a big oil president and vice president holding oil stocks. I am sorry. Was there a point here? Is there some evidence of a licensed Amateur trying to inappropriately influence the actions of the Commission? Or was that just a feigned pass...?!?! Some facts, please? Your DD Form 214 would be a fact. Your assertions are not. It was a way of keeping the old pro status past retirement. Since they were already skilled in telegraphy, they got a free set of perquisites in a HOBBY activity. What about the thousands of others - like myself - who earned the license because we wanted the privileges? In my case, that was in 1970, at the age of 16. You mom and dad provided you with three hots and a cot. Unless you were raised in an orphanage where the Christians or the County provided the three hots and a cot. Again...A point? (other than the poor grammar?) But poor grammar was the point, Steve. It was a carefully layed traps to bring out the "Net Cop" in you. Prove that the "old First Phone" examination was "less hard" than the Amateur Extra exam. You never completed that last test element on your alleged Commercial radio operator license and could only get a SECOND class. Kindly prove that the old Amateur Extra was less difficult than the old First Phone. Heil, quit being the snotty lil kid trying to turn tables. That makes YOU look dumb. I took all the test elements for a First 'Phone 49 years ago. I've seen the test elements for an Extra of that time. Where? Back then those test elements were only given by FCC examiners. They were not legally available to folks like you (outside of FCC). In fact, back then FCC required 2 years' experience as a General or higher license just to *try* the Extra test. Dick Bash disagreed with you then and he disagrees with you now. No. Dick Bash disagreed with the federal government. He violated federal law in the process. He should have gone to prison a long time ago. You missed the point. Len was capable of seeing the Extra material of the time. The Commercial license was still more difficult than the amateur...NOT because I took any, but because the Commercial license covered a LOT more EM territory, a LOT more modes in Commercial radio then. But you don't really know because you didn't take both. Some of those who *did* take both say the Extra written was "harder". It's important that you should work harder for a hobby endeavor than for a commercial endeavor. Now, thanks to Dick Bash and a whole generation of Burger King'ers, we don't have to do either. The ARRL is a Burger King'er? "A Morse Code Exam would be a barrier to Morse Code use." N2EY I agreed with you then and I agree with you now. And I disagree with you now as then. Steve, K4YZ Of course you do. That's what defines you. |
