A Tennessee State Guard uniform (whatever that is), an ill-fitting Air Force CAP flight suit uniform, and a male nurses uniform. And he has lots of military medals that he never earned (according to him). You know, whenever I saw folks in the CAP uniform at any Air Force Base, including Maxwell, they work the 4b or Class A. Never ever saw a CAP in a flight suit before robesin's well advertised home page. In all my visits to USAF bases I've never seen any CAP personnel there, let alone some in a poopy suit.

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. Well, doggone it, Lennie. Next thing ya know he'll be posting over the callsign of another Amateur. Nope...ya just cain't believe guys like that, can you Len? I don't believe his bs. |

So you guys got sidetracked and missed the CW call so both your guys died.

I saw a C-130 fly almost directly over my house last year. Couldn't see who
was in it though... rb wrote in message ups.com... wrote: from: on Thurs, Aug 24 2006 6:39 pm wrote in message oups.com...

Yeah, but with the VNER sanctions, you can't get the ALE to link up with
them to start the whole CVAC anyway. rb "an old friend" wrote in message ups.com... wrote: wrote: From: on Wed, Aug 23 2006 7:46 pm Trying to speak logically, the FCC grants amateur licenses in the USA and even they proposed (via an NPRM) to eliminate the amateur radio morse code test for a license.

So what's the hold up? most likely the fact that some at the FCC wouldlike to plase the ARRL as long as it costs them nothing ut the cpsts are starting to build since NVEC realy needs to know soon what the general license involves so they can write the new pool |

Welp, when the AF took the airplanes away from the Army in 1947... ....this guy named Sikorsky came along and sold them some helicopters. Anyway, they were a lot of fun and the idea really caught on. Now the marines have them, too. Robesin says he worked on helicopters in some capacity, and got hisself involved in 7 hostile actions. |

So did your guy die or not? Which one? You win some, you lose some. In more than twenty years there were lots. You see until 1995 CW was still being used for serious ship-to- shore comms. SSB is OK for phone calls but if you want written copy, you need something that works. And, though we tried it with some fairly good equipment, RTTY just didn't cut it. What did the job was INMARSAT. Satellite comms can take place on VHF, UHF and SHF bands that don't restrict bandwidth. And they can do that because the antenna is finally high enough to make a real difference. 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. Of course, if a big solar flare takes out a whole bunch of sats, we're gonna have a comm squeeze. -- Dave Oldridge+ ICQ 1800667 |
