Take your meds, Dave, and revel in the knowledge that you are a Golden

I've been spot on so far, and you continue to be wrong and against the
people.


You continue to be full of ****, Rickmers.



Why are you always so pleasant? Old lady cut you off? ED? Too fat to
find to find your penis?


'to find to find' ?

Slow down, take a breath, and grab those meds, Rickmers!

Just out of idle curiosity, what kind of antenna system do you use?


Just an idle answer...

I have a 130 foot long, 25-30 foot high, bent dipole between two trees,
fed with ladder line, used on 80-10 (including WARC bands) with a
Johnson KW Matchbox balanced tuner. On 160 meters, I reconfigure the
antenna to what is essentially a top loaded vertical, using a T-match
tuner.

Obviously not as good as a tower and beam, but I work lots o' DX with
it, for example the VK0IR (Heard Island) dx'pedition and North Korea.
(If you are not a ham, trust me, these are nice catches). Needless to
say, it also works nicely for SWL'ing with my vintage receivers.

A tower would be nice, but not worth the hassle of dealing with the
(overly) strict city and subdivision restrictions.

I was speaking with a ham buddy of mine, over the weekend, and he
recommended such an antenna for low noise and great digging in
crowded bands. And particularly for MW Dx. I'm tempted to do it here.

Which vintage receivers are you using?

Seeing as the new plan has not yet been implemented, this
would presume that you are referring to what we have 'today' --
Medicare -- which does NOT deny coverage because of
pre-existing conditions.

Can you give any examples of this

No, I've had neither the occasion nor the opportunity. Furthermore, I
have no idea what "medical plan" the vets are under. Possibly you are
referring to the Agent Orange issue or the spent uranium bullets? If so,
the root problem may be that the science just hasn't caught up yet --
although I seem to recall that they are finally realizing some of the
Agent Orange issues. My son did his Residency at a VA hospital, so
I will have to ask him about this.

Again however, I believe this thread was essentially focused on Medicare
-- which is MUCH larger than the vet issue -- and with Medicare,
pre-existing conditions do NOT appear to be a problem.

Turn down more than ALL insurance carriers combined??? Can you justify
this claim? Any actual numbers?

It was surgically altered and then tucked in, all the better to
participate in his weekly homosexual 'respect' sessions.

His name 'Raoul' sound like him gagging on a whole throat full of 'respect'.

The header is me quoting you.


Is the welfare leech giving you a rough time, dave? Funny how HIS 'free'
medical is different from anything proposed for others.
