Just don't forget that the world's greatest DXer worked out of band
frenchmen on 6 meters, and if he had to do it over again, he would.
I'd be interested in seeing your cite of where in the rules it says that
Dave, or anyone else for that matter, is responsible for making sure the OTHER
station is operating within his/her nations regulatory requirements.
Did you figure out that end-fed antenna yet?
I think you're telling me I'm not worthy. Are you?
Well...are you?
You KNOW my answer.
Any amateur radio QSLs Len could produce would be either "out of band"
or would belong to someone else.
So you and Len do have something in common. Now maybe you can treat
each other as human beings.
The question is was DAVE out of band.
So far, nothing he or you has indicated he was.
Actually, you have done so. You have Len suggesting a book. The fact
is, Len has no practical experience in amateur radio.
Ooops. You forgot to remove the word "amateur" from your statement.
Len has plenty of experience.
Dave was quite accuarate.
Lennie has NO practical experience in AMATEUR Radio.
No one disputes Lennie's "experience" in "radio". I am sure after all the
websites he's cut and pasted from he HAS actually learned SOMETHING about
Amateur Radio too, but as I am sure you know for yourself, that which one
learns in a book as opposed to "how it is" is not always the same.
So Len is a good golfer?
Dunno? Did Len read a golfing book?
I for one have no doubt that if Lennie reads a golfing book, he will be
quick to let us know just how smart he is about golfing wether he's been on the
links or not.
Most likely not, but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one.
Personally, I find golfing no more interesting than providing an adequate
length of turf as an alternative runway in an emergency. It also provides me
with plenty of professional opportunities since a lot of cardiac arrests are
taken off the 9th hole. Usually physicians, bankers and stock brokers.
Now...we await to find out just how much Lennie knows about golfing. I am
sure he worked with someone in "the aerospace industry" who played golf and
shared enough stories with Lennie so that he could regale us with some
reasonably accurate sounding tales.. Maybe he caddy'd some while on that
rear-area tour of duty in 1953....
