If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG... It is voice, radiotelegraphy, data, pulse, right off the bat, plus a few others which you have NO idea they existed for EMERGENCIES. Blowcode, you are stuck on HF ham thinking.

spake thusly: "Appliance Operator" is a term to distinguish from those who are able not only to turn on and operate their equipment, but also understand how it functions and can reproduce the circuitry therein. An appliance operator knows little or nothing about how the equipment they use works, only how to use it (not necessarily in a proper or legal manner). Does this mean that only a fully qualified journeyman auto technician really knows how to drive a car properly? Does an executive chef at a 5 star restaurant need to know Ohms Law in order to cook properly on an electric stovetop? Does he also need to be a petro-chemist to operate a gas range? The notion that only a person who knows the inner workings of a device can operate it properly is downright insulting and worthy of utter contempt. Can you rebuild the transmission in your car in your back yard right now? If not then you are a bad driver, according to the "appliance operator" logic being spewed here. -- (Jim, single dad to Lesleigh [Autistic] 04/20/94) "What, Me Worry?" A. E.

Maybe one day they'll be on Springer... and I won't be watching. |

You brought it up, now you don't want to hear about it. Let's review that one: You and some of your neighbors tried to keep the zoning ordinances in your neighborhood stuck in the past. Okay, so this is retro on not on amateur radio, but let's review how Jimmy MANUFACTURES something out of nothing. When the original part of my "neighborhood" was zoned, it was all Residential, Single Family homes. Normally such residential zones remain as-is for many decades. They aren't whim-changed to the "latest model" in zoning codes...especially residential zones. Radio regulations aren't usually changed on a whim, either. Those who live IN those residences aren't "stuck in the past." A house is a house is a HOME. ?? "A house is a house is a HOME"? A house is just a building. People make it a home. Despite all the changes that have occured since the early 1960s, you did not want the zoning changed. What were "all the changes that have[sic] occured since the early 1960s" in my neighborhood, Well, for one, there was a developer who was willing to take on developing a piece of vacant land. But the point is that a lot of changes have occurred in the real-estate and construction industries in 40+ years. New technologies - new methods - new financial and tax environments. People also live differently. There are more blended families, more divorced people, more two-career-with children families, etc. More diversity, IOW. But you wanted to keep your neighborhood stuck in the past, with the "little boxes on the hillside'... You really don't know, do you? Several hundred houses were completed in my 'neighborhood,' all to R zoning code (single family, residential). Sure - 40 years ago, Does that mean the zoning should never ever change? About 15 acres were never developed in the middle of that due to too much earthmoving necessary. That remained undeveloped for about 38 years, ownership of that land passing through several companies. The next-to-the-last land owner wanted to change the zoning laws to "R1" which meant multi-family residences...read APARTMENTS. Oh no! APARTMENTS! What a horror! Did they mean high-rises? Low rises? Or did they mean homes with apartments attached, as for relatives (sometimes called "mother-in-law suites"? Here's a clue, Len: An apartment can be a home, same as a 'house' can be a home. That owner managed to get the zoning code changed over the protests of several of us and the neighborhood association at a city zoning board meeting in the middle of the 1990s. "Several of you". Interesting. Hundreds of homes in your neighborhood but only "several of you" protested. Those of us who LIVED adjacent to that undeveloped property had to accept it. Several years went by and nothing came of the plans presented to the neighborhood at the local church meeting hall. Land values were rising. The point is you opposed the change. And you thought those who were already *in* the neighborhood should overrule those who were trying to "get into" the neighhborhood. The next-to-the-last land owner went bankrupt and the 15 acre parcel was sold to a developer who requested a neighborhood association public review of what they wanted. We met, three meetings in all. This developer planned for 44 homes, all single-family residences, all meeting the ORIGINAL zoning code requirements. IOW, he went through the hazing ritual of meeting *your* concept of the neighborhood. More little boxes on the hillside.... That developer needed 9 months of earth moving about a quarter million cubic yards of soil to make those lots; it was a VERY rough terrain to begin with. And you complained about the noise, too... The 44 houses were built (sold before completion, despite the rising cost of homes) in a gated community called "Montelena." Very upscale. The neighborhood association did not fight that. We were back to the original zoning code, all single family residences. Right - you kept the status quo. They had to do it the way you did it - single family detached homes on a particular size of lot (1/3 to 1/4 acre). No twins, no duplexes, no triplexes, no townhomes, and most of all no (shudder) APARTMENTS! You wanted a piece of undeveloped land near your house developed only in ways you approved of. Absolutely, IOW, "YES" but as the neighborhood association as a group wanted it (over 400 residence members). Those of us who OWN residences and LIVE in them understand that a residence area should change zoning laws as little as possible. How is that any different from those of us *in* amateur radio and who participate in it. who understand that a some regulations should change as little as possible? Anyone who wanted to live or build in your neighborhood should have to do it the way you did it, and no other way. Bad repetition in addition to being highly inaccurate. No, very accurate. "Your Way" was single-family-detached residences. No twins, no duplexes, no triplexes, no townhomes, and most of all, no APARTMENTS. The neighborhood association wanted the original single-family residence zoning kept. Not just me, several hundred others all were of the same opinion about our homes and adjacent areas. How many others did not oppose the zoning changes? What about the people who wanted to live in the residences the first developer wanted to build? What did they want? Did anyone ask *them*? Oh, and there are dozens of basic house plans in several hundred acres of "my" neighborhood and only 2 others are of the same plan as mine. But they're all basically the same - single-family-detached residences of a certain age, size and construction. Why should radio amateurs not oppose the changes an outsider like you wants to force on us, when you opposed the changes an outsider tried to force on your neighborhood? The amateur bands are a sort of home to us, not you. |
