Hey, Edtardo... tell us again about the amateur radio license you
had
in
Ecuador. What was that call?


HC1DG


Ya got proof of that? It never seems to show up in any Callbooks.


What kinda test did you take?


There was no test at all.


Then you did not have a license... sounds like Hose-A sold you one...
there was
a code test at that time, as far as I know.


No, there was not. I believe if sponsored by a club member, there were no
requirments. Of course, the requirements changed according to the "license
fee" you paid.

You really have no idea what it was like in Ecuador in the 60's, do you? I
did not have a refrigerator most of my time there. I preferred taking a bus
to most places instead of driving. There were 3 months of summer when two to
three days a week we had power rationing and no electricity from sunrise to
sunset. No cars had automatic transmissions. You took the wiper blades off
your car every time you parket. A first run move was $0.40 for the good
seats. In the summer, there was only enough water to bathe ever two to three
days. A phone call to the US took two to three days to place, and was booked
in advance. A call to another city could take several hours to get. There
was no such thing as a home loan or mortgage... houses were bought cash
only. 40% of the population spoke Quechua. AM stations were licensed every
20 kHz in the same city. Most AMs did not have towers as antennas. There was
no FM station until 1966 in the whole country. Quito's first commercial TV
went on the aair in 1965, and a TV set cost more than 20 times the minimum
monthly wage in the country. The airport at Quito only ran in daylight
hours, so dangerous was it. There was no frozen food section at the
supermarket (there was only one supermarket in the whole city of Quito,
too). Most food was bought fresh the same day as it was consumed. There were
no fast food restaurnats, and no hamburgers or pizzas anywhere. A live in
maid cost U$S about $40 a month. Nothing in dealings with the government was
processed for free.

Never took a driver's test, either.


Of course not, you could not pass it!


No, I just sent an assistant to get it for me. That was SOP. I don't know
anyone who took the test, either.- Hide quoted text -

Say, do you guys also sell that ginseng supplement? If so, for how
much?


He can certainly tell one how to visit a radio station and own it the very next
day!

Guaranteed... 12 easy payments.

He's the Prancing Queen...

Gato got your tongue, boy?

I told you twice that the licensing process did not work that way. You
had a
sponsor from one of the clubs, you got a license. Or you simply paid a
larger fee and you got a license.

Uh-Huh


You have absolutely no clue how things worked in the 60's in Latin
America... or, specifically, Ecuador. why in the world would one take a
test
when they did not have to?


I have more clues than you ever thought of having, prancer!


Only if "clue" is slang for "shot glass." Beer and a shot, coming right up,
yessir.

There was no test taken by the hams I knew there.

Prove it... not what you stated previously. I'll look it up if you desire,
prancer.


Prove what? A renewal means I had the licence prior to the renewal. The
renewal was issued in '74 at San Juan, meaning the prior one was issued in
1969.



What I am saying is that most anyone who wanted a ham license could
ask
for
one and get it. There is no testing, just some fees and a "fee" for
processing. The limiting factor in Ecuador was that the average annual
income per household then was less than $1000 a year, and imported
ham
gear
could easily cost $2 thousand or more. Any "luxury" item had as much
as
200%
of the CIF value plus foreign exchange charges, etc. Not many people
could
become hams there.

You're full of ****!

Ok, you tell me how many people in Ecuador could afford to be hams?


Not you!


If I could buy 10 kw AM transmitters or run an FM with no spots for a year,
I could buy a Heathkit.



And anyone in Ecuador who wanted to get out of any requirement could,
easily, with the right donation. That includes tests, which I do not
recall
anyone ever even mentioning to me.


You don't recall anything that might be pertinent.


You apply your "Ugly American" standard to other nations. The economy, the
culture, the language... nothing is the same or comparable.


You're full of ****, Edweenie... check with the State Department.

You are nothing more than a hot air fairy.

Edweenie, the jig is up. Even the State Department does not agree with
you!


The US State Department has no clue about the workings of 95% of foreign
governments. How would they possibly know that one could get, in 1965, a ham
license in Ecuador by simply taking care of the right persons? The number of
times I saw the US government screw up in Ecuador makes me totally
unsurprised that the US is pretty universally hated around Latin America and
the world. Your application of US rules and morals to other nations is
typical of the attitude that has caused this.
