Feeble Five Flailings

You have a point, Leonard. One example would be your involvement in amateur radio. CAN'T YOU GET ANYTHING RIGHT, DAVID D#######? Obviously NOT, judging by trotting out that old sway-backed "involvement" nonsense. Amateurism is NOT a closed community. There are only the close-minded individuals in amateur radio who imagine themselves gods of radio. Listen UP, David..... Ditto. And I gotta add my two pieces of zinc: You don't need a license to build a receiver. You don't need a license to listen to shortwave broadcasts; or to work a CB or FRS radio; or to get a station's card (I have hundreds); or to transmit on most of the spectrum with very low power;...(SNIP) SO little power that, if you do so legally, can't be heard across the parking lot, let alone across town, state or country... (UNSNIP)...or to design and build a band-specific antenna on a tower; or to study and learn radio fundamentals; or even to transmit from a licensed amateur station provided it is supervised by the station's licensee...(SNIP) ".....provided it is supervised by the station's licensee..." Which means NOT you or Lennie, Frankie. (UNSNIP)...You don't need a license to be an amateur....(SNIP) More wordsmithing. You DO need a licesne to be a Radio Amateur. You do NOT need a license to be a radio hobbyist. Even as a PROFESSIONAL in the field of radio I didn't need a license. Basically, the only thing an Amateur Radio License grants you is the ability to transmit at power levels greater than those specified in Part 15. Every other aspect of amateur radio communication can be done -WITHOUT A LICENSE-. The sooner these sooper-dooper hambos realize this little factoid the better. Frankie, you can wear a biklini, play a fiddle while sipping a milk shake, do charitable church work and recite "I Want World Peace" over and over, and you'll still not going to be "Miss America". And no amount of rationalizing or tap-dancing about what you can do without an Amateur license will ever make you or Lennie licensed Radio Amateurs. Only passing the requisite FCC exams at a VE session will ever do that. And Frankie... No amount of trying to "best" another Marine will ever make up for the ####-poor performance YOU put out. Putz.
