More Markie Bull****, the only thing you were working as in the

janitors at the NSA have clearance.

they probably get paid well.


Of all the techie things I could relate to, here's something I never thought
would come up: I WAS a janitor at NSA. I was stationed there 1970-1972 as a
Sailor and during my last 8 months, I worked as a janitor after hours to
make enough money for the down payment on my first house. All the janitors
needed to be cleared, which made us military folks shoo-ins for these jobs.

The pay was OK for your average part time job. Nothing special, but I was
happy for the $1800 I banked in less than a year. (5% of 33,000 used to get
a family into a house. Not today.)

My first wife still has that house and it's worth $700,000.

Try offering two outfielders and a pitcher to be named later :-)

Seriously, other than her half of the house (her current hubby got on the
deed a few years ago for a re-fi), almost nothing. I divorced her in 1981
and traded away my half of the equity for no claim by her on my future
earnings (meaning no spousal support and no splitting of my Navy
retirement). She took a second to buy a business, which supported her,
although she did not run it well and she took a loss when she sold it.

I doubt she ever saved a penny. She draws a Social Security disability
pension for several ailments, real or imagined.

I fared better ;-)

tube rig because the technology is so simple. You could never repair a
modern rig, because like most dinos, you have ever evolved into the new
technology because out of fear, you cling to what is old and comfortable.

It' all because back in the 60's all those draft-dodger types went to Canada.
Canada not only welcomed them, but allowed them to breed. The gene pool has
never been the same.

Are you referring to the brain drain in the U.S. or the abundance of

Elimination of CW is a loss in the number of ways we can communicatewith other.
 

"L is easy to remember. "to hell with it".

Thank you, I was haveing trouble confusing "F" and "L"


I got nothing against CW, but being kept out of amateur radio for 40+ years
cus I had difficulty learning the code, sucks.
Finally, I got enough right to barely pass the 5 wpm test. Still can't find
anybody slow enough for me to copy on the air.
If I ever get good enough to use it, I'll try a few homebrew transmitter

I expect there are some technically competent people who might be interested
in amateur radio, but have no interest in learning code.

If you want easy...and most of the CW whiners do...why don't you just hook
your laptop up to your DSL line and stay the hell off the air?

Jeez, you've got a pathetic joke for an exam now with canned questions to
memorize and no code to learn. Too bad you're not still in your mother's
womb so you don't have to feed yourselves. Though you have deluded
yourselves into believing you are "hams," you are hardly believable when you
wear that title. The only reason you have been able to slip through into the
dumbed-down requirements and some sort of fcc "license" sham is because your
appliance manufacturers that make your rigs and the charlatans like the arrl
are selling out the hobby so they can sell you things.

It's ALL ABOUT THE MONEY and you no-coder idiots have fallen for it.

As for traditional, genuine "hams, we may be from the "Stone Age," but once
the dinosauers became extinct the pristine landscape took on pollution and
overcrowding. You simpletons have all drank the Kool-Aid and cannot see that
you are parties to the eventual elimination of ham radio.

Thank God for "stone age hams," for at least there is someone still around
that knows something about the avocation.

John,

Just get on digital modes. Don't worry about CW. Digital is where the
fun is and the copy is much better.

A buddy of mine in St. Louis and I experimented with low power and
various digital modes last night on 40 meters. CW was marginal. The
best was DominoEX with FEC - just about 100% all the time and it also
has a second channel to display additional information.

CW can be fun at times, but maybe it's not your thing. Let the
stone-age hams continue with CW, and move up and on to the digital modes.

MultiPSK, while a bit cluttered and ugly, is a great program you can
use. MixW is cleaner looking and very good, but not as many
capabilities in the program.

Move on and start having fun.

overcrowding. You simpletons have all drank the Kool-Aid and cannot see that
you are parties to the eventual elimination of ham radio.

Thank God for "stone age hams," for at least there is someone still around
that knows something about the avocation.


Amen.

John,

Just get on digital modes. Don't worry about CW. Digital is where the
fun is and the copy is much better.

A buddy of mine in St. Louis and I experimented with low power and
various digital modes last night on 40 meters. CW was marginal. The
best was DominoEX with FEC - just about 100% all the time and it also
has a second channel to display additional information.

CW can be fun at times, but maybe it's not your thing. Let the
stone-age hams continue with CW, and move up and on to the digital modes.

MultiPSK, while a bit cluttered and ugly, is a great program you can
use. MixW is cleaner looking and very good, but not as many
capabilities in the program.

Move on and start having fun.

JDB

Finally, I got enough right to barely pass the 5 wpm test. Still can't

find
anybody slow enough for me to copy on the air.
If I ever get good enough to use it, I'll try a few homebrew transmitter
projects.

I expect there are some technically competent people who might be

interested
in amateur radio, but have no interest in learning code.

Elimination of CW is a loss in the number of ways we can communicatewithother.

LOL!

This from someone who calls himself "Smokey" and does not post his
callsign.

Can you say "troll", boys and girls?
