and besides me flunkijng that phonyt ham test given out by real hams at a real
ham exam, I was also out all of the money that I had to pay them to in order to
take the ham test.

Bring back the days when the FCC tested people to be eligible for ham
liscenvces instead of lettuing current local hams abuse their examining
privileges by wanting to keep their ham radio club exclusively to only the
members that are already there, or keeping out people just because of the way
they look ("they're not pretty nor handsome. I don't want them in this ham
club. Make sure that they don't get a ham liscence even if all of their answers
are 100 percent correct").

And yes, these were hams who had studied morse code to get their ham liscences.

And no the reason they were against me suceeding did not have anything at all
to do with me being a no-code applicant. Because at the time I took it, there
was not yet such a thing as being able to get a no-code liscence.

I had to study morse code also.

so because of my experience with them, I am now all for the no-liscence
required on the ham bands.

I say either that (no liscence required att all to get on the ham bands) or let
the FCC once again do the exams for te liscenes required to get on the ham
band, but in no way let the local hams do the exams. They purposely abuse their
privileges.

Hogwash... study up and pass the exam like a man... or whatever sexual persuasion
you are today.

just in case anyone is wondering, I heard it from a very good very reliable
source that I know that the reason the local ham radio operators didn't want me
to be able to be a ham in their club and gave me a phony test is because they
thought that I was "not handsome".

Well, I'll agree that I'm not handsome, but tell me, since when was "being
handsome" a "requirement" for becoming a hamn radio operator?

Whatcha smokin tonight?

My post was misspelled. It should have read:

zSince when is "being handsome" a "requirement" for getting a ham radio
liscence.

And I wanted to add that I know that not all ham radio operators are retards
like my local ham radio operators are.

Nah, I shouldn't say that. Because that's an insult to people who really are
retarded, and I don't want to insult them. They don't deserve that kind of
insult.

However, my local ham radio operators really do deserve insults aimed at them.
for the previously mentioned reasons among others.

In lieu of being able to spell license, one must be handsome to get a ham radio
ticket.

Except among some old-time hams. You know, the
ones that resist all change.

true and strange because doesn't that defeat a lot of the purpose of what ham
radio was originally about? inventing and changing?

Imagine if they had stuck to CW only and resisted all chanfge to AM voice
broadcasting.

Where would that put us today?

No music radio. No tv. Just a bunch of short and long beeps of morse code on
all radio channels in use.

Hogwash... study up and pass the exam like a man... or whatever sexual
persuasion
you are today.


I did study up. And I admit that I didn't get all of the answers correct. But I
did get most of them correct. And the ones that were correct were marked wrong,
and the ones that were wrong were marked correct. And then I was told phony
answers were the "real answers"

That is hams abusing their examining privileges.

Because when I got back home, I checked my ham books again, and the answers I
gave that were marked wrong by the ham examiners were all correct according to
ALL of the several different ham books that I had at the time.

That is hams abusing their examining priviliges.

Nah, it's just because you are not handsome.

and by the way, there were also several other criminal activities that my local
ham radio operators were involved in committing. not just something small like
I previously posted, but some much bigger criminal activity.

They're the criminals.

I don't mean all hams are criminals. Just some of my local ham radio operators
who I know for sure are, not all of my local ham radio operators.
