Pepper And Salt (Seasoned Greetings) to all our readers - the Xmas FAQ
 
A number of potential recruits are in great danger of being
misled into thinking that they are Radio Hams when, in fact,
they are nothing of the kind! As it is the season of goodwill,
let us show our goodwill by saving these poor deluded fools
from the mischievous ne-er-do-wells who will attempt to
mislead them. (Radio Hams are technically-motivated people
and not merely turnip-brained button pushers like CBers and
like M3/CBers)

What is Ham Radio?

Ham Radio is a technical pursuit for those who
are interested in the science of radio wave
propagation and who are also interested in the
way that their radios function. It has a long-standing
tradition of providing a source of engineers who
are born naturals.

Ham Radio awakens in its aficionados a whole-life
fascination with all things technical and gives
an all-abiding curiosity to improve one's scientific
knowledge. It's a great swimming pool, please dive in!

This excitement causes a wish to share the experience
with ones fellow man, and shows itself in the
gentlemanly traditions of Ham Radio.

Radio Hams are in a unique privileged position in that
they can construct and operate their own equipment! No-one
else has this privilege. Users, such as broadcasters,
the po lice and armed farces, CBers and mobile phone
users have to purchase ready-made gear. Manufacturers
are not licensed to operate their gear. Radio Hams
are qualified to design, build and then
operate their own pieces of equipment. They do this
with gusto, and also repair and modify their own
equipment. This is a privilege well worth the effort
to gain, and one to be jealously guarded.

The excitement that drives a Radio Ham starts with
relatively simple technologies at first, perhaps making
his own Wimshurst machine and primary cells. Small pieces
of test equipment follow, possibly multimeters and signal
generators. Then comes receivers and transmitters. It is with
the latter that communication with like-minded technically
motivated people takes off. The scope for technical
development grows with the years
and now encompasses DSP and DDS. There is also a great deal
of excitement in the areas of computer programming to
be learnt and applied.

The technical excitement motivates Radio Hams to compete
with each other to determine who has designed and manufactured
the best-quality station. This competitiveness is found in DXing,
competitions and fox-hunts.

-----OOOOO----

However, beware! A Ham Radio licence is such a
desirable thing to have that there are large
numbers of people who wish to be thought of
as Radio Hams when, in fact, they are nothing
of the kind! Usually such people are a
variation of the CB Radio hobbyist; they buy their
radios off the shelf and send them back to be
repaired; they are not interested in technical discussion
and sneer at those who are; they have no idea how
their radios work inside and have no wish to find out;
they are free with rather silly personal insults;
they have not satisfied any technical qualification
and their licences prevent the use of
self-designed-and-built equipment.

These CB types engage in the competitive activities
with their Cheque-Book-purchased off-the-shelf radios
in a forlorn effort to prove that they are Radio Hams.

No _REAL_ Radio Hams are deceived by such people!

-----ooooo-----

One infallible way to disambiguate the CB Radio Hobbyist
from the _REAL_ Radio Ham is to solicit their view of the
difference between CB Radio and Ham Radio. A Radio Ham will
perceive Ham Radio to be a technical pursuit and will
perceive CB Radio to be a social communications facility
no different in essence to a land-line telephone or a
GSM mobile in the hands of a 6-year-old. Thus a Radio Ham
could also hold a CB licence safe in the knowledge that
such a licence says no more about him than having a land-line
telephone, whilst continuing to regard Ham Radio as a separate
technical pursuit.

A CB Radio hobbyist, on the other hand, sees no difference between
a Ham Radio licence and a CB Radio licence. To him, they are
sisters-under-the-skin. Wrongly, the CB Radio Hobbyist then
tries to classify himself as the equal of the Radio
Ham when, in fact, he is nothing of the kind. A sure sign of
a CB Radio hobbyist is if he holds, or has ever held, a licence
issued under the gangrenous degeneration that is the
M3/CB Fools' Licence scheme.

-----ooooo-----

One group of people who claim to be of the standard of
Radio Hams but who are in reality nothing more than an
apology for the failure of a CBer are those class B
licensees who falsely proclaimed that they were against
the use of a Morse Test to control access to the HF
bands, until, that is, a test was introduced at their
intellectual level, the intellectual level of 6-year-olds.

6 year-olds simply lack the mathematical tool kit to
enable them to handle even the simplest algebraic manipulation
for Ohm's Law and thus, the disgraceful Class Ber's in
the aforementioned category are not Radio Hams by any stretch
of the imagination!

Remember - A sure sign of a CB Radio hobbyist is if he holds,
or has ever held, a licence issued under the gangrenous
degeneration that is the M3/CB Fools' Licence scheme!


Happy Solstice, and let's keep the religious crap out of Crapmas!

You seem to be intellectually challenged on the point that
you make below (CBer, are you?) - the essence of a
discussion group is,......wait for it......discussion!

Discussion implies talking.

ITYM, "too" and not, "to". (CBer, are you?)

If you publish Childish Broadcasts (CB) such as you
do below, then you will be perceived as a CBer.

Ham Radio is a technical pursuit for which it is
important to maintain standards. There is no
bigotry in seeking to maintain educational
standards.

We do ourselves no favours if we associate
with the non-technical turnip-brains.

Grow up, Mike Gathergood!

Yes morse is obsolete, but also useful.
The former is no basis for banning it.
The latter is no basis for using it as a passport to the HF Bands.

Why do we need a further exam for incentive licensing? Do we not have
enough already?....
(1) CB licence as an appetite whetter
(2) Novice licence
(3) RAE.

(Perversely, the Novice RAE is a higher technical challenge than the
RAE!)

Restore the RAE to its technical status, and we have a sufficient and
complete incentive licensing scheme, without anything to do with the
Morse (Sorry, Vail) Code.

Arguments relating to international requirements are redundant - laws
change.

Amateur Radio is dying, and this is due IMHO in no small part to the
consumerism CBish activities of today, QSLing as an end in itself, WAB,
contest operating other than as a means of evaluating one's technical
equipment, squeakies on repeaters, walts on URA, and inane discussions
about the turnips growing in one's garden.

Pepper And Salt - Re Eric Williams M3EJO
 
"Micky Taker" is, in reality,

Eric Williams, M3EJO,
19, Raglans,
Exeter,
EX2 8XN.

He is one of those disgraceful adults warned against by the OP; a
grown man with seeming years of experience who was either too
lazy or too stupid, or both, to be able to tackle and pass exams
that were being taken in their stride by otherwise-unqualified
14-year-olds and went instead for the yellow-bellied coward's
way out by going for exams set for 6-year-olds.

Eric did not seem to understand that the OP was a public stance
for the maintenance of academic standards and that by responding
with his Childish Broadcast (CB) in the way that he did he illustrated
graphically the sort of turnip-brained dross that the OP warned
against.

M3EJO is one of the licences issued under the gangrenous
degeneration that is the M3/CB Fools' Licence and by taking out
such a licence, Eric proves himself to be an incurable CBer who
will _NEVER_ make it into the ranks of _REAL_ Radio Hams.

Eric seems to have missed the point that the OP was arguing
in favour of the very acadaemic standards that Eric himself so
dismally failed to reach - the issue is not one of the relevance, or
otherwise, of the Morse Code, but the showing of sufficient dedication
of putting in the necessary effort to get what you want. Going
for an M3/CB Fools' Licence and then posting personal attacks in
the way that Eric did is a sure sign of lack of such dedication.

Eric - you are a stupid boy and should grow up. It may well
be that you wear long trousers but it is certain that your
mind is still in nappies.

The Childish Broadcast (CB) quoted below would suggest that
the 2 letters, number, 2 letters format used by Britland CB
licences is also in use by Yankland in the KN6 series.....

Frank Dinger's Childish Broadcast (CB) serves to illustrate
well the Trojan Horse of the CBer-Masquerading-As-A-Radio-Ham
warned against by the OP.

Just ignore his outpouring - he is as irrelevant to _REAL_ Ham Radio
as is the RSCB.

My humble apologies to G4ASW. Don't know where that came from, but I'm
going to play the dyslexia card here. Either that or I was pi**ed.

But the Novice RAE is no more, and the comment applied to the RAE
as it existed at the time of the Novice RAE.

The comments are not revalidated for the 3-level farce fiasco that
exists today.

If you publish Childish Broadcasts (CB) such as you

Ham Radio is a technical pursuit for which it is
important to maintain standards. There is no
bigotry in seeking to maintain educational
standards.

We do ourselves no favours if we associate
with the non-technical turnip-brains.

Grow up, Mike Gathergood!

So, I suppose you're right in one respect - the useful

Sorry - somehow lost the cross-posted groups!

Apart from the gratuitous abuse in the last line quoted below,
you have forgottne very quickly your remark, "About sums you
up - old views, old world, just old..... "

You are so habituated by insulting and childish outbursts
that you assume it to be normal adult behaviour - it isn't.

As to your farce of an apology - as I remember it - it
was disingenuous - blaming me for your own social
maladjustments and was followed almost
immediately by further rudeness.

You don't realise that you're doing it, for which reason
you are a bad example to youngsters and therefore
should not be employed in _ANY_ capacity in _ANY
school.

Oops, I seem to have lost the other groups again.

Sorted!

Pierian Spring responded with justifiable indignation to LEIGH PREECE:
Oh, I almost forgot your criminal breaches of
the Telecommunications Act, the Forgery Act,
and the Malicious Communications Act wherein
you forged grossly offensive postings to the Internet
that purported to have come from me.

No, I don't think that you should work in schools.

Pierian Spring wrote:
You yourself published the remarks quoted below by repeating
them in the post which I quoted below. If you do not believe
them to be true, why did you repeat them?

My opinion of you which has been caused by your own
one-sided campaign of vituperative bile, was brought
about by your obsession with me, your habituation with
the publishing of infantile and grossly offensive
comments, your cowardly use of pseudonyms behind
from which to further vent your spleen, your admission of guilt
by an apology (after which you continued to be abusive and
trying to justify your abuse thereby calling into question your
sincerity), and your attempts to justify your infantile outbursts,
is that you are of an immature, anti-social and maladjusted
personality that is a disgustingly poor example to give to
children and which means that you are a danger to children
and should not be employed in _ANY_ capacity in _ANY_ school.

Your childish outbursts and my indignant responses to them have
occurred
entirely within the public forum of this NG. If there are any issues
arising therefrom, then this NG is the place to raise them, entirely
open and above board. I see no reason to run away and hide in
a cowardly fashion in an email discourse. This very-public situation
has come about entirely by your own action, and it is a sign of your
continuing infantility that you wish to suppress public criticism of
yourself and your public childishness.

Try growing up.

I suggest that you learn something about computers - the
qsl web site was working well in the 5 minutes immediately before
I wrote my original post (the one that got lost).

And, on checking now, it is still working; I wouldn't follow
if the roles were reversed, but you
may like to try the following....

http://www.qsl.net/m5gwh/about%20me.htm

So, what happened? Did the infantile and aggressive persona
that you present to this NG result in you getting sacked as
someone being unsuitable to have contact with chidren?

I do not claim that you work in a school. I only state that
the infantile and maladjusted persona that you present
renders you unsuitable to work in _ANY_ school in
_ANY_ capacity.

The only claim to be working in a school, Maryhill High
School in Kidsgrove, comes in an entry in QSL.NET for
someone with the same name as you, and with the
CBer's callsign, M5GWH.


You will notice that the website no longer works and what is there has
not been updated since February 2004 - so you are basing your knowledge
on old and incorrect information.

No, you are quite wrong on two counts.....
1. The qsl web site is definitely a site and not a page.

2. "http://www.qsl.net/m5gwh/about%20me.htm" is not
an orphan at all, because if you try for "http://www.qsl.net/m5gwh",
you get access to a fairly extensive directory.

I suggest that you learn something about computers.

I insist that it is simply a page - maybe you should learn the rudiments
of website assembly as there is no identifiable index or homepage but a
collection of orpan pages or what would have been 'parent/child' pages.

2. "http://www.qsl.net/m5gwh/about%20me.htm" is not
an orphan at all, because if you try for "http://www.qsl.net/m5gwh",

Yes - correct - but again this is a directory listing and not a website
as, I state above, a website requires a definate 'index' or 'home' page.

I suggest that you learn something about computers.


I suggest you learn something about website construction and the
heirarchy system of website structure.
