there once was a ham named herman
who loaned out his PO Box to vermin
he took no guff
regarding his gaffe
and the rest of us at least smiled or oughrightly laughed

:-)

For the benefit of readers who weren't here a few years ago,
Mike Deignan once had a "residence" in Hawaii courtesy of
Jeffie Herman and his postbox of renown. :-) Deignan also
had a lot of "club" calls from Hawaii addresses...despite living
in tropic Rhode Island. FCC gave him some notices and Mikey
cancelled them.

Brian, you forgot the TITLE add-on following Jeffies' "signed"
name.

Namely, "Mathematics Lecturer, University of Hawaii." :-)

"Lecturer!" Jeffie used that a few years ago as a two-year
junior college INSTRUCTOR. Then the school had a website
with all the INSTRUCTORS listed and their classes. Ordinary
INSTRUCTOR, but he had to write "Lecturer" in here. :-)

Also, now he's supposed to be "Chief Petty Officer, USCG."

Lots of "Chiefs" in here, but Hans Brakob qualifies as a
Master Chief, USN, with some years under his belt. Very few
can approach that in experience, yet so many try to "out-title"
him. :-)

Jeffie didn't comment - also back a few years - on complex
number arithmetic rules. Complex number quantities are
essential to working with impedances or admittances for best
match and power transfer (as in antennas or stages of a
transmitter). Jeffie is supposed to be a Big Lecturer on
mathematics so I wonder why he never took up that? Tsk.

Wonder if Jeffie still lives on his little boat? :-)

PS:

Retired (from regular hours) electronics engineer person
Life Member, IEEE (all for free now, no extra payments, no dues)
Veteran, United States Army (voluntary enlistment)
Managing partner of PINETREE, a small company performing
technical services for consultants willing to pay the fee.
Former associated editor of the finest amateur radio technical
publication ever, HAM RADIO magazine, in independent
publishing for 22 years.
First on-the-air on HF 51 years ago.
First-class commercial radiotelephone license granted (one test
sitting) in 1956.
Happily married to my high school sweetheart.

I suppose I could generate some more "titles" given some thought.
I was once the entire staff of WMCW, "the voice of Boone, McHenry,
and Walworth Counties," in Harvard (Illinois). [WMCW remains on
the air daily at the top of the AM band with "studios" in "downtown
Harvard"]
I was once "Chief Engineer" at Birtcher Instruments, Monterey Park,
CA...had to be, was the only one... :-)

Never did make "Pilot in Command" wings as a civilian...or military
person...of a two-seater, single-engine general aviation craft. :-)

Never once did I need to know morse code nor did I use it to
communicate on HF...or VHF or UHF or MF or LF or VLF or in
the microwave frequency region in all of 51+ years. However, to
be a "real" ham to these mighty macho morsemen in here one
MUST give in to the dark side of the Force and do morse. :-)

Morse and all those TITLES must be what "real" (morsemen)
hams are about...?
