Tsk, tsk. Note that Jimmie refused to capitalize the Ham
Radio magazine name. Ham Radio magazine ceased publication
in 1990. That was 15 years before now. Ham Radio had been
in continuous INDEPENDENT monthly publication for 22 years.

Longer than I've been a ham.

A 22-year run as an independent in the hobby periodical
trade is pretty good. 22 years is enough time to
conceive a child, raise them from birth, and see them
to legal adulthood. Not good enough for Dudly the Imposter,
though...not Jimmie...and, now, not iitoi. :-)


I guess "ham radio" magazine is only "defunct" when Jim needs it to be,
and a competing publishing house when it needs to be.

According to this anony-mousie "iitoi," HAM RADIO
magazine DID NOT EXIST! :-)

Poor 'iitoi' is SO wanting to FIGHT on something that he
is now wanting to argue TYPE FONTS in Cover Graphics!

I wasn't "with" HR in all 22 years but I've corresponded
enough with founding Editor in Chief Jim Fisk (SK as
W1HR, that call a club call now) to have a LOT of
letterhead and logo information on what HAM RADIO magazine
called itself. As an Associate Editor under Alf Wilson
(W6NIF) and then Rich Rosen, there's more. I've got a
fair collection in paper (with real ink). But, the
subject of TYPE FONT and Cover Design Graphics never
came up. In ordinary typewriter type we would refer to
the magazine as "Ham Radio" with others and just Ham
Radio in inter-staff correspondence. Double-quotes are
a convention to ALSO mean italics when a typewriting
thingy doesn't have easy-changing type fonts. The
compensation checks I got had the title capitalized
and the Bank of America didn't fight with me on that. :-)

Iitoi now wants to FIGHT over the subject!

Maybe there's too much peyote lying around there.

Or lack of it?

I'm not going to FIGHT over Cover Graphic Design.

That's like arguing three ways from last Tuesday on the
flashy cabinet of a radio without once bothering with
what's INSIDE it. But, if their ignorance is so much
that they don't know what's between covers, they can
feel happy about "getting someone" in a newsgroup.

Just a glance at the ARRL web page
will show books of all sorts on amateur radio for sale,
including fiction novels. The nearest competitor is CQ
Communications products through its Book Store via mail
order.

RSGB has a few offerings at Universal Electonics book section.

I have a personal preference for RSGB publications for their
graphics and layout. A distinct preference for Pat Hawker's
column in Radio Communication (membership magazine of RSGB).
Hawker's column has carried a lot of very leading-edge
techniques done in Yurp as well as UK...Peter Martinez' trials
with the Gingell polyphase R-C network for SSB mod/demod and
Martinez' PSK31.


ARRL can do no wrong. Ever.

A wise American once said, "I will renew my membership no more,
forever!"

May Jimmie dwell in the house of the Board forever.

"Bored"

I'm getting that way with these mighty morsemen motivated
fighters. Jimmie be happy as proverbial clam if he can
word-fight...and now "iitoi" (whoever it be) wants to do same.

Wow, did I call this one or what!!!! This is classic Len-hoist-by-his-own-peyote! ("Peyote" is a John Wayne-style euro-descent mis-name - here the People call it mezcal.)

Follow along, boys and girls, and take a lesson in the Anderson technique of mistake-correction-squirm/misdirection.

(Opening) N2EY (correctly) referenced an out-of-publication by the name "ham radio" (uncapitalized).

A. (Mistake) Len surmises that somehow that's a "slight" of his association with the magazine. So, in order to gain some messaging points he picks a fight with N2EY about "refused to capitalize the Ham Radio magazine name".

(NB: Len wrote many damned good technical articles for "ham radio" --- "well done" to him on that score.)

B. (Correction) The magazine in question never called itself capitalized "Ham Radio" --- It's cover name and all internal references, masthead, copyright declarations, and other "branding" folderol used the un-capitalized "ham radio" and the the corporate name "hr publishing" adopted the same lower-case convention. I and N2EY both pointed this out to Len, along with web images of the actual magazine cover.

C. (Squirming and Misdirection) Presented with the facts, Len launches a long irrelevant monologue about Jim Fisk, obsolete typewriters, and paychecks, et. al., blows off the capitalization issue as not important (if it wasn't important, why did HE start the fight about it?), and exits declaring himself bored.

In the past month or so since I joined rrap I've been impressed several times with how smoothly Len follows this simple A-B-C script. Watch for it.

ah yes the stevie school of attack if you have nothing call your opentn
a drug user

different drug of course

"Opentn"? Maybe Mark meant "oponent"? I have no oponent here, only conversation mates.

But more important, let's show the girls and boys another example of Marks discombobulated mental processes.

Mark, please try to follow along. Ask one of the other children for help if you have trouble keeping pace with the conversation.

Note, boys and girls who first raised the notion of drug use. (Hint: It wasn't this correspondent.)

Then see the response.....

Now, girls and boys, please take Mark to the back of the room and explain who first suggested someone was a drug user. I'll allow you only a short period of time --- be back in your seats in 30-minutes.

Perhaps you think you are Iitoi's opponent.

But he does not see you as one.

I have no idea what a "pisecie of chit" could possibly be.

More important is the fact that Len is the first in the discussion to
mention "peyote", in an obvious reference to Iitoi's location.
An obvious attempt at misdirection by Len.

Now you've done it. You'll be forever branded by Mark as a "lier".

Which is part of the larger cycle.

Yep, that's part of the classic profile. Here's some more bits:

1) Reference to others by made-up nicknames such as "Jimmie" and
"iitoi",
(lack of capitalization intentional), etc.

2) Bad catchphrases such as "mighty morsemen motivated fighters"

3) incorrect grammar such as "be happy as proverbial clam"

4) Long irrelevant detailed retaling of something Len did decades ago.

And the key point was not the capitalization at all, but that ARRL does
not, and has not, had a virtual monopoly on amateur radio publications.

Very predictable. In fact, there's a simple profile that pretty much
predicts Len's behavior in any newsgroup situation. It's appeared
here in rrap a few times.....
