Big Ol' Kudos to you bro. Somalians suck. I think there are indeed places

Good on ya then! Do upgrade whenever you can, coz hammin' can be fun if you
can find a decent bunch to hang with.
Learning 5wpm is pretty easy and gives you a new "toy" or "language" to play
with if you are so inclined.
The big plus being the new privileges and theory, and all the hi-tech
progression in radio going on in the 21st Century!
There's lots to get into.
Gud luck,

Alright. List your stuff. Maybe someone is interested.

It sucked.

Just got a message on the somalia reflector today. Seems the al qaida
is well liked in somalia because the country has been through 15 years
of chaos and lawlessness, and the islamists are now imposing their law.
I guess any law is better than none.

Reminds me, in part, how hitler came to power.

Robesin's flight suit is sage green. Looks like a real one.

, and a male nurses uniform.

Wanna explain what a male nurses uniform is??

He said it wasn't a dress. Culots, maybe?

Thought he had a "killer" job as a male nurse?

Wow, that sounds rather condescending....

How else would you describe the best job in the world?

Oh, I don't know. After a hard day behind the microphone, he's got
that 1,000 yard stare.

Yeah, those "real" radio ops really have it tough, don't they? There should
be a reality show called
"Two-Way Trauma: Life in the radio room."

Hah!!! I'm sure he could make up stories. I'm real sure of it.

Huh? How can a fast CW op *not* save a life? Have you read this thread
at all?
CW = Gift of Life.
Fast CW = Hand of God.

Where did anyone actually say that in this thread?

It's in the Extra Class manual....

And that's why I'm watching TV from a 12ghz satellite signal right
now. Putting the antenna that high makes all modes pretty much equal
as far as signal-to-noise goes.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGH!!
Holy crap.... I hope no one else reads that.. It'll kill the entire
Comm-Post pile we're making, and then
people will just go back to swapping radios or something. [Perish the
thought!]

Well, at the moment my radio is on 3729 LSB. But it will shortly be on
3652 CW.

Nope. It's not about antennas, so that makes it off topic in the group I'm

I attended 3 weeks of CWPC training at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery,
Alabama. It hosts CAP HQ. Didn't see any CAP uniforms there, either.

Odd, though. The new owner of robesin's old vanity callsign, K4CAP,
resides in Montgomery, Alabama.

Wonder what rank the new owner has in the CAP? :-)

Wonder how robesin made "major" in the CAP?

Heh heh.

Welp, we still don't have any confirmation on his rank higher
than captain.



All those anony-mousies are as frustrated and angry as Robeson.
It is only natural they would all hang together.

They've posted some of the most disgusting concepts and language here,
whereas robesin only posts disgusting concepts and inuendo.

Then he censors "dumbass."

He's a pig.

More like SWINE. Pigs are okay, even intelligent (says science).


I found it uproarious that Robeson tried to cover up his NOT
naming a single military radio that was operational during his
alleged 18-year "USMC career," claiming "all the information is
classified!" :-)

Scuse me while I blow the pepsi out of my nose.

:-) True. It's in Google archives going back several years.

Right you are.


Absolute bull****. The names, ID, functions have all been in
public view...the 'Public' being the makers or those wanting to
get in on an RFQ (Request for Quote) being advertised by the
DoD. Even though I never operated (as a civilian) anything
more than an old ARC-27 or PRC-119 SINCGARS, all the military
radios operational between the times of those two are easily
recognizeable to me (well, the VRCs have lots of differences
between families but the same case and general form). The
operating manuals are NOT classified, just in limited
distribution. LOGSA the Logistics Supply Agency is busy making
CDs of all the printed manuals for darn near ALL military
equipment; it's a piece of cake to pop one of those CDs in an
ever-present military PC and read them. LOGSA has a website
and even civilians can download some of the older equipment's
manuals. LOGSA has some internal priority on what can be
downloaded (depending on the cookie generated by a non-military
PC). That was a tip I got from rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors
and rec.radio.amateur.homebrew. The nomenclatures and quick-
look facts are on a couple websites in a long, long, long list.
Even BAMA has some manuals for free download plus big link
lists for other sites that have them.

Too much work for robesin. So he just "classified" everything. He was
definitely confused by Major Vincent and his key on a necklace. Hah!

More than one in here is confused about "key lists." In commo
crypto, the "key lists" are very, very restricted and essential
for encryption...not the brag lists of "essential" personnel of
an organization. Robeson got called on military crypto by Hans
over a long period of Robeson trying to tell off Brakob. Didn't
work.

Of course, MARS doesn't use crypto, and neither does the ARS. So how
would Major Dumbass know anything about it?

He prolly has all the James Bomb novels ever written...


If he was involved in MARS, it was probably just to eavesdrop on morale
calls from a lonely GI to his wife or girlfriend back home.

Could be, but then anyone with a reasonably good receiver and
a tiny-wire antenna could do that...

Maybe robesin got "equal time" with those wives? He's so eager to talk
to everyone's wife on rrap, maybe he misses that aspect of MARS.

Who knows? But, I doubt it. :-)


MARS is the ONLY commo thing in the military that Robeson MIGHT
be aquainted with. He doesn't know snit from shoe-polish on the
REAL commo gear.

He doesn't know apple butter about MARS either.

He read all about it in QST... :-)

In another recent post, Robesin keeps referring to a "CV."
That's an acronym for the Latin 'curriculum vitae,' a list
of life experiences (education, work experience). In the
electronics industry, indeed in MOST industries, those
applying for jobs don't present a curriculum vitae, just a
RESUME of education-work experience. Some academics may
use "CV" but Personnel departments still look over resumes.
Just one more little gaffe on Robesin's part, trying to
LOOK experienced when he is NOT.

You're out of touch, old timer.

You're out of touch, world traveler.

Brits commonly use the term "CV"

robesin isn't a brit, is he?

Heil has about as much experience with Personnel departments (they
are called "Human Resources" now) as he has in getting along with
normal people (i.e., those not frozen in time to when code was
king).

Heil endured a double-decade in government service so he could get
a nice pension. In such a position Heil would have zero-point-zero
experience with resumes in trying to get a job interview anywhere
in industry.

Imagine working for all those appointed ambasadors? That had to suck.

With Heil's personality? Inconceivable! :-)


Heil is NOT interested in any "CV" definition. All he wants to do
is trash-talk his adversaries of the past in here. Heil is a
morseman. I am not. I don't revere the Department of State as
having any large international radio network (they don't, much of
what they have now goes through the DSN). Heil needs to flash all
that "government experience" to show how Big and "radio-wise" he
is, a "somebody" in a group of amateurs so he can stand tall. :-)

Flash over ride.

The REAL subject is MORSEMANSHIP. Heil is big on that because he
can do it and did it. BFD. What is before the FCC right now is
whether the USA will eliminate or keep the morse code test for an
amateur radio license. Heil has his license through morsemanship.
He could care zero-point-zero about anyone but himself in that,
certainly not anyone who might get into amateur radio someday.

I don't really think its because they want people to learn the code. I
think they want a barrier to keep the unwashed out of amateur radio.

I see the rabid "morse code tests for ALL" morsemen as just
NEEDING something to be "better than anyone else."


MORSEMANSHIP is of NO USE in the bigger world of radio comms of
today...except in the minds of olde-tyme AMATEURS in radio who are
frozen in times long past.

Morse is a barrier.

Morse testing in this new millennium is about as "necessary" as
having a buggy whip in an SUV to coax it out of a pothole.

But, the BM (Big Morsemen) think it can "save lives" (a la the
Titanic disaster of 94 years ago) so AMATEURS are "supposed"
to test for it to get an AMATEUR radio license. Nonsensical.

Excellent point!

If you'll check the address bar when you reply, you might notice that you're
posting in a swap group, scanner group, policy group, and antenna group....
IOW, you're just as guilty as the rest of us. :-)
