If Lennie Anderson Went One Day Without Disparging The Amateur Radio Service, Would Andy Rooney's Eyebrows Fall Out? Subtitled: The Feeble Five Backslap Each Other

ARRL views itself as "representative" of the ARS. Unfortunately, the 'ARS' stands for Amateur Radiotelegraphy Society. At the Anderscum residence, perhaps. For the nearly 700,000 of us with licenses, it's the Amateur Radio Service. Note: Leonard H. Anderson is not an FCC licensee in that service. I think everyone has some of that to one degree or another. It's unhealthy to allow that fear to paralyze you. Yes and no. When it comes to Status-Rank-Privilege the fear of LOSS of those seems to take on a life of its own. You would know, Lennie... It's YOU that perceives that loss...For by taking the same test mere mortals do, you "surrender" your "I Was An Electronics Engineer" brags. Snip of usual Anti-Amateur Radio rhetoric. Odd, saying what you mean and meaning what you say have become dishonest. Klein is just a teeny bit more civil than Major Dud. Robeson just shouts "LIAR! LIAR!" Who's "Major Dud"..?!?! And I don't have to shout it, Lennie... You make it quite apparent. I regret to inform Mr Klein that I do not agree with him. I also don't agree with him. Maybe he's gotten the message? Maybe he doesn't see the need to try and "debate" those who only want to throw sand...?!?! If the league pushes the morse testing issue too hard, it will become obvious to the 25% that are members. I don't think so. The Amateur Radiotelegraphy Society is very firmly SET in their ideas of keeping the "heritage" and "tradition" of being a living museum of archaic radio. Those firm believers and worshippers at the Church of St. Hiram are disciples and they haven't had their last supper yet. Thankfully OUR "last supper" will come long, LONG after yours, Lennie... Actuarial tables abound to deal with that kind of thinking. That's a draconian sort of realism...but, unfortunately true. And as I was saying...Let's hope YOUR tables are into small numbers. MORE SNIPPAGE Don't know if you've heard yet, but the ARRL and robesin announced that MARS and TSA have an agreement for armageddon communications. Heh heh, I wouldn't doubt it... "Armageddon"...?!?! No one announced "armageddon" in any release that I am aware of. Why did you? Yet more evidence of why it's better to have Lennie "Can't Pass An Exam" Anderson on the outside looking in.

If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?

I have no objection to them trying to prservs thier mode the ARS is big enough even for unproductive thing Don't know if you've heard yet, but the ARRL and robesin announced that MARS and TSA have an agreement for armageddon communications. Heh heh, I wouldn't doubt it... :-) [via "giant meteor bounce?" ... off the earth, that is? :-) ] I thought Robesin had put on his (invisible) USMC uniform and was busy pounding brass with the USCG offshore from Beirut to evacuate US civilians? :-) now that remark I must take you to task for the last thing we want to sugest that robeson might wear is something invisible now that image IS a sexauly distrubing one |

My post was in response to the quote above. If that wasn't you, my apologies. It was a simple statement. Whew. Sometimes accessing this group is like stepping in dog****. Usenet radio groups were a lot nicer before ham radio got dumbed down. Now the ham radio groups have a CB feel to them. SC |
Morris Code -plus- Continuous Wave (CW) Radio Transmission -and- Semaphore Signals ? Do They Defining Amateur Radio ?

: Yes. That's understandable. Hams these days don't want to act like hams, they like to be appliance operators. So kids don't see that CW is important and fun. All they see is hams gabbing on a microphone like any CB'er can do. SC Actually a lot of tghe boy scouts know morse code, they still arent intersted in ham radio. Some old time ham in the area needs to step in and show the scouts how ham radio and CW can save lives and help communities in emergencies. Nickle Generals & Extra's have a hard time promoting amateur radio. All they want to do is promote dumbing it down more. It's no wonder the scouts aren't interested. SC |

Oh, and while you're at it, why don't you inform the group the date when amateur radio morse code saved ANYONE's life? Betcha can't do it... On 7 July 2006 the FCC released its Independent Panel report on the worst natural disaster to hit the USA, Hurricane Katrina. You can find it in the Federal Register of that date. In there you can find an objective report on how much radio amateurs helped their communities. BTW, Comments on that Report are due on or before 21 August 2006...today. Have you sent in your Comment, "Slow?" No? Nickle Generals & Extra's have a hard time promoting amateur radio. All they want to do is promote dumbing it down more. Tsk, if anyone was doing "dumbing it down more," they'd have to outdo your own retrograde, freeze-it-in-YOUR-youth ham radio, "Slow." Feel proud. You are practically a one-ham show on dumbing down the service... It's no wonder the scouts aren't interested. Tsk, you should have recited your own tale of saving the Titanic...when you were asleep on the US California... |

Tsk, tsk, "Jawod" did indeed intimidate through bluff. Poor baby got stomped on and now he cries "foul." Boo-hoo. Whew. Sometimes accessing this group is like stepping in dog****. Usenet radio groups were a lot nicer before ham radio got dumbed down. "Slow," multiple-choice questions were in place in FCC exams LONNNNGGGG ago. [many morsemen bitch that those started the "dumbing-down"] Privatization of license testing happened BEFORE the Internet went public and creation of amateur radio newsgroups in what many still call "USENET." With privatization of testing came the open question pools. "Slow," you are very confused on your dates and what happened. Now the ham radio groups have a CB feel to them. Awwww...you can't find enough for a group to sit around and bull**** to one another on how "good" and "magical" is CW? Must do your self-image a really, really bad whuppin! Now, you run right out and Save A Life for Hiram Percy, ya hear? Show them what you can do! Then you can sit around campfires and molest the ears of young boy scouts... Beep, beep... |
