Listen here... I will not stand by and watch millions of innocent people die
needlessly as more an more people shun the gift of life by scoffing at CW.

Sorry... my bad... is it 35 now? I stand corrected.
Back to the chant... If you can't do 35wpm, you should stay off the bands!! Seriously people, think about it... do *you* want blood on your hands because you're a slow-beepin loser? Lives are on the line, in case you aren't paying attention. This is serious business and requires a dedication as if it were... your only purpose. Unmotivated 25wpm losers need not apply. rb "Dave Oldridge" wrote in message 9... "Woody" wrote in news:FYqIg.36416$NF3.28742@trnddc05: And as previously stated, slow equals death. If you can't do 20wpm you should stay off the bands. 20 is SLOW. But the only way to learn 35 or 40 is to learn 10, 15, 20 etc. And the best way to do that is get on the bands and DO it instead of making rude noises at the people who CAN. Phonetics on SSB are usually a lot slower than 20wpm, though. -- Dave Oldridge+ ICQ 1800667 |

Hey... you have proof I was dropped?? I've wondered for years as I just
can't remember the day I was born at all. It kinda annoys me, but hey, I can't remember CW either, so I figure no loss either way. rb Not to stray off-topic or break any rules, but you wouldn't happen to have a 50w VHF Spectra you'd want to sell or trade, would ya?

People are dying while you decide! rb This gem must've come from the other brain cell. Is that the one that took the brunt when you were dropped? "Al Klein" wrote in message ...

Maybe not. In CW, you can. I can do it (and have done so) using phonetics. But that's SLOWER than CW. You're preaching to the choir, Dave. I've had to handle foreign language traffic phonetically by voice and by CW - and I much prefer CW for that kind of work, even though I prefer voice for most rag-chewing. As you say, needing it spelled out is quite slow. -- Dave Oldridge+ ICQ 1800667 |

"Dave Oldridge" wrote in message 9... "Woody" wrote in news:i4rIg.901$N84.191@trnddc08: So did your guy die or not? Which one? You win some, you lose some. 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. 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!] rb |

The one that's looking for a VHF 50w Spectra..... hehe...

Even so, an ordinary telephone could had called for help in the 1950s. In the communications industry of today, the emphasis is on WiFi and - still - cell phone technology. It's BIG Business shown rather dramatically on rooftops and towers all over the USA. A couple years ago the US Census Bureau stated that one in three Americans had a cell phone subscription. That's like nearly 100 million of us... The Indians learned to cut the telegraph wires early on. Saw that on F-Troop. The characters of "F-Troop" are still with us. Unable to sit a horse, they now masquerade as amateur morsemen. The ARRL resells a few fictional novels by a single author (a gal) whose subject is mainly "saving the day" with amateur radio, several of which are supposed to feature the "life-saving abilities" of morsemanship. I've never read any, just read the ad copy for them on the ARRL website. In the writing trade those are known as "teen-age novels" and are for the under-adult age group. I've read several of them to my son when he was younger. The first books were written by a guy. He's passed on, and now in the same style, they are written by a gal. OK, that's cool. As long as the readers can understand that a novel is a work of fiction, fine. There are still a few chowderheads who think the film "Independence Day" was a documentary! :-) What was the movie where the SK dad was sending ham radio messages back to his son? "Frequency." So-so movie in my personal reviews, nothing to pay first-run admission for... I immensely enjoyed the works of fiction served up by W0EX (SK), and K3LT, where the story was so contrived that ONLY cw could save the day. "Contrived?!?" :-) Whole-cloth BS I'd put it. Well, yeh. :-) All of them are wrapped up in their warm-and-fuzzy psych blanket where They are the "best radio ops." As if... :-) The "Al-Code-Ah" continue in their Jihad... I'm curious what's really holding up the FCC on the issue. So am I. It's nine months since the official close of Comments on the NPRM. Nine months? Gestation almost complete? "Birth" of an R&O soon? :-) That actually scares me. Recall the one that was so poorly written in 1998? I didn't think it was "poorly written." Morsemen did. They wanted to burn the FCC at the stake, ressurect them and have them tortured in many ways... :-) I'll just put it down to the FCC very busy with lots and lots of other things to attend to in DC. Ed's got them busy with BPL, and that needs to go away. Ed doesn't seem to be DOING much. He is powerless to stop Access BPL. ARRL doesn't realize that Access BPL just won't hold up in the marketplace and will die of its own accord. Amateur radio is small stuff in the big scheme of things in all of radio. FCC prolly has only one staffer working on the old NPRM and that one may be time-sharing other work in progress. Sounds like government. They rarely hire enough people or the right people to get a really good end result. The FCC was never chartered to be a cheerleader for amateur radio. FCC merely regulates and mitigates civil radio services in the USA. Amateur radio hobbyists need to stop their pipe-dreaming about "greatness" and realize that they've long since been overtaken by many, many other radio services. Some of those radio services (Public Safety of Private Land Mobile Radio Services) are the ones doing the everyday 24/7 role of assisting police, fire, and medical agencies doing the ACTUAL saving of lives. Some in here think amateur radio is "important." That's because the ARRL has brainwashed them with false beliefs. Amateur radio is a HOBBY, an avocational pursuit, a pleasureable personal free- time activity done for the fun of it. The sooner ARRL gets its rational side out in front the better it will be for the olde-tyme morsemen to attrit gracefully and with some measure of dignity. Not in the frozen-in-time-to-1930 fantasy radio world they depict in their bragging and boasting. |

LOL.. Now that's what I'm looking for! What else ya got? Let's post each
reply twice from now on, OK? In other news.... Stay on topic Dave.... the issue is *CW* saves lives,[or results in other holistic happenings] ok? I swear I've already explained that to ya...? We've proven many posts ago that brain cells have nothing to do with ham radio, this thread or those in it. My fav site, www.hamsexy.com will explain it all. rb radio content: I think I'd even consider an M1225 in trade, instead of the Spectra. "Dave Oldridge" wrote in message 9...

I've seen several civilians on USAF bases, employed by the USAF, wearing flight suits and clearly identified as to being civilian. Saturdays. They bring the kids in for a tour and a meal at the chow hall. OK, that explains it. :-) If I was on-site for some company business, I wouldn't be there on weekends. :-) 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? :-) Oh, I don't know. After a hard day behind the microphone, he's got that 1,000 yard stare. That's also a symptom of anoxia...lack of oxygen used up in his bragging of what he did that never was... :-) Tsk, all that work he does in trying to bluff us. All he had to do was present SOME sort of document proof or even a personal snapshot taken while in that "hostile-action-filled" 18 year "career" in the USMC. He hasn't done so after many years. If he can't present a single item of 18 years of his life, it is hard for the rest of us to believe anything he said. I don't believe his bs. Any rational, sane person can't believe his claims. Hopefully, that is most of us reading some of the garbage going on in here now. Some of the whacko Anon's have championed robesin's cause, whatever it might be. All those anony-mousies are as frustrated and angry as Robeson. It is only natural they would all hang together. 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. 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. 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... 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. |
