If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?
From: "Fred Hambrecht" on Tues, Sep 12 2006 4:55 pm
It's Not a Code, no code problem, it's a generational problem! Why are you younger generation kids so retrograde compared to my, OLDER generation, Freddie? :-) Is your generation's generator turning over? Not much coherent stuff being generated there... In the past week, the articles that seemed to get the most play on ham sites were the Southern Border Volunteers and the lack of brotherhood in ham radio. Oh, wow! South Carolina is in danger of being over-run by Mexicans?!? Losing the "brotherhood?" Have you tried recruiting a "sisterhood?" :-) Freddie, I live in southern California. California borders Mexico. Guess what, that border is only around 3 hours drive from me. :-) Ham radio went to hell when Dick Bash got involved with his published "cheat sheets". Really?!? I thought it "went" when you hams were allowed to use VOICE! :-) Or maybe when SPARK was outlawed? This piece is from the prospective of a ham with over 50 years spewing RF throughout the world. At 68 years of age, I look back at my start in ham radio, appearing before a steely eyed FCC examiner in Norfolk Virginia. I missed the distance for a Conditional license by about 11 miles. I had to walk between school and home in the snow, uphill both ways. You forgot BAREFOOT, Freddie. :-) So, you "spewed RF throughout the world" over 50 years ago? Unidirectional? I started in February 1953, HF beam patterns pointed in many, specific directions...thanks to the United States Army Signal Corps. :-) Just as sure as these words are on your screen, you too will someday be an old fart just like me. Poor baby, born in 1939. Tsk, tsk, tsk. That makes me 6 or 7 years OLDER than you, Freddie. As you enter the dotage of your life, health concerns and the condition of your aged friends, becomes more of a concern. We, like you, used to talk about more contemporary subjects. WTF? Freddie boy, just WHO are you posting to? [see the bottom since you didn't format this for proper quoting and replies] Unlike a number of you, we allowed the older folks to have their conversations without ridicule. It is called respect, and is a two way street. Freddie, you are demanding ONE WAY driving on a two-way street. When did you last take a driving test? :-) Realize that when I was a newby, I suffered the same as you at the hands of the old farts. Poor baby. Snif, snif. They believed that for you to enter their group, you should first show respect and learn to snatch the pebble from their hand. You mean DRINK in their hand, don't you? :-) WHY did "your elders" have PEBBLES in their hand? None of you started in your working life as the CEO of the company, yet many of today's generation feel that a newly minted license conveys total knowledge. What you have is a license to learn, take advantage of it and the brotherhood will naturally follow. Sigh...Freddie, you may be too far gone in your dotage? :-) NOT in THIS group in this Din of Inequity, Freddie. Ain't NO "respect" unless one is a devout morseman worshipping at the Church of St. Hiram. If we all took the time to show each other respect, and be less quick to judge, not only would ham radio be better, but our lives as well. Whoopee, a MAXIM! You ARE in the congregation of the Church of St. Hiram! I am supposed to "respect" you for your 'age?' :-) So, does your quaint little pebble-filled maxim work the OTHER way, Freddie? When are YOU going to show respect for those OLDER than YOU? :-) [watch out, I have lots of 'pebbles'...:-) ] wrote in message roups.com... Newsflash: ALL radio operators, code or no-code, are "appliance operators" as you colloquially state. A radio is a means to communicate. Knowing code just adds another way to use that radio. Quite true, Opus! Thank you for pointing that out. Let us hope that Blowcode sticks to his ARRL "Archie" comic books while he mimes the "Wizard of Oz's" scarecrow wishing he had a brain. :-( Freddie, you replied to MY message. Try, please TRY to understand who you are replying to. It doesn't hurt to use acceptible formatting in Usenet style; makes it a lot easier to follow for others.

Real Estate Follies

Jimmie say (residential zoning) = (amateur radio policy)! Amazing. Tell ya what, next time the Los Angeles government is going to act on any decision, YOU as a 20 WPM code- tested amateur extra will be notified as an EXPERT CONSULTANT on city and county political decisions. That should satisfy your "I'm-a-knowitall-extra" imagination. [I doubt it will, though] It can be. If FCC decides something is important, they make it happen pretty fast and comments may not have much effect. When Papa Bush wanted to do a favor for a now-dead King, we got medical waivers for some license exams. The commentary didn't have any effect. What does that have to do with Los Angeles Zoning Ordinances? The FCC does NOT rule/decide/mitigate Los Angeles Zoning Ordinances. Are you zoned out? Get a hit from yer gud buddie Nursie Stevie? Or when the VE system replaced the use of FCC examiners, thereby saving money, there wasn't even an NPRM IIRC. No comments, just "here's your new system". There were protests but they had no effect. Do the VEC rule/decide/mitigate Los Angeles Zoning Ordinances? What's a "ham homie", Len? A nutcase who thinks the FCC and/or VEC rule/decide/mitigate Los Angeles city/county affairs. "A house is a house is a HOME"? A house is just a building. People make it a home. Lovely homily. Did you have homily grits for breakfast? Get it from a "Little Morse on the Prarie" episode? The changes occurred *since* the 1960s. ...and You were there, watching it all happen, participating in Los Angeles government, getting involved... :-) How do you know I don't have friends in the LAX area, Len? Guess what - I've been there. So have MILLIONS of others. LAX is one of the busiest airports in the USA. Call some up and arrange a reunion, have a big party... you can get the party ball going by having a big lecture on Los Angeles Zoning Ordinances... ... You don't want the neighborhood to change. It was built as single-family-detached houses and you didn't want any other kind of house built there. You wanted the *law* to keep things as they were in the early 1960s. Congratulations...you finally figured it out. Zoning should NOT change on a whim. Nor should radio regulations. WTF? Tsk, you equate lettuce and lava again... Modern homes are hardly comparable to early homes. In fact the homes being built today are quite different than those of a few decades ago. Many, many changes in home construction in that time period. ...and the 20 WPM code-tested amateur extra KNOWS THEM ALL! Try accepting change and progress. Elimination of the US amateur radio licensing code test is change and progress... You're evading the question about what the developer wanted to build. Which "developer" are you talking about? I used to have some Kodak D-76 and some Microdol, but the empty containers got thrown out a long time ago...same with Stop Bath and Fixer. Here's a BIGGER "clue," Jimmy: This thread is about "using 'CW' in an emergency" Ah, no, it isn't, Len. The subject line was changed to "Real Estate Follies". You changed it again, I changed it back. "Heah come de judge...heah come de judge!" :-) This discussion is right on the subject. I think that bothers you. Yes, it does bother me. I thought this was an AMATEUR RADIO POLICY newsgroup. You think it is a LOS ANGELES GOVERNMENT newsgroup. Google states that this is the AMATEUR RADIO POLICY newsgroup. You say it is "different." You persist in that delusion. Either Google is wrong or Jimmie-knowitall is wrong. But Jimmie is NEVER WRONG. It is a "die-lemma." [Jimmy would rather die than give up his viewpoints on morsemanship] It's simple, Len. You did not want the zoning changed, because that could mean "APARTMENTS" in your neighborhood! Yes. You wanted your neighborhood to stay as it was built 40+ years ago - preferably with no new houses at all. Hello? "We" (the neighborhood association) wanted the Zoning code to remain. I wrote that. Did you see it? Now, whatinhell is all this fuss over Los Angeles Zoning Ordinances doing in an AMATEUR RADIO POLICY newsgroup? The point is that you don't want to say whether the "no changes" position was agreed to by the majority. The "point" is that you are CONFUSED as to what this newsgroup is supposed to contain. Talk to Google. Maybe they will change it for you. So you don't know about radiotelegraphy - you're not involved. Not a participant. No investment, no stake, an outsider. But you claim to know what is best for those who are involved and are participants. So you don't know about Los Angeles codes and ordinances - you're not involved. Not a participant. No investment, no stake, an outsider. But you claim to know what is best for those involved and are participants. Pssst, Jimmie...this is the AMATEUR RADIO POLICY newsgroup. It is NOT about Los Angeles residence laws. Really. You'd be outraged if I were to support changes to the zoning ordinances for your neighborhood, because those changes would affect you much more than they would affect me. Tsk, not "outraged." Annoyed. While I do NOT have the "authority" stated by Nursie Stevie to make a simple telephone call to "pick you up," a short call to one of several Los Angeles newspapers would start the process of making you look the interfering fool. The Los Angeles Times has over a million daily readers...thousands would see your foolish interfering acts and utterances (quoted with real ink on real paper) and be amused by such antics. It's a good bet that the City Editor would be laughing so hard about it that he wouldn't send out a reporter to cover it...the comic strips are in another part of the Times. But you support changes to radio regulations that would affect me much more than they would affect you. So, we are supposed to understand that you constantly take the US amateur radio licensing exam manual morse code test? Is that your point? Tell you what...go to Google and see if they have a Los Angeles government affairs newsgroup. If there isn't any, then START one. In there you can talk all you want to on AMATEUR RADIO POLICY matters. Sound okay with you? Oh, dear, you are REALLY stuck in comparing lettuce with lava, aren't you? :-) Try answering my question, Len. I could but it doesn't compute on my decryption machine. This is the AMATEUR RADIO POLICY newsgroup. It isn't a newsgroup for discussing zoning laws regarding residences. The amateur bands are a sort of home to us, not you. Then GO HOME, Jimmie. Or, at least, go to a newsgroup about the correct subject. Doesn't answer the question, Len. ? It didn't come up in the latest neighborhood association meeting, nor with our government councilmember. ? Did you really have a "question"? I thought you were just stamping your feet in a tantrum... So move if you don't like it. Why are you telling me what to do? :-) Or are you telling me to "shut up?" :-) Jimmie, you are getting more and more irrational in here. [quit stamping your feet crying "I'm right! I'm right!"] You are starting to resemble the fictional TV character "Max Headroom." Good luck on finding a sponsor for your show... --- Sigh, another "reality adventure" episode, character studies of the middle-aged morse mavens kvetching about possible loss of their rank, title, status, and privileges from being retrograde morsemen and forcing all newcomers to accept their old ideals. boop, beep, |
