Tsk, tsk. I CAN "legally" operate lots of OTHER radio service

Izzat supposed to impress us? What's keeping you from it? Have a ball.
Mikey ("Mr. BPL") Powell and papa Colin both operated radios when
they were in the U.S. Army. Not amateur radios. Professional
soldier radios. [they are both former Army officers]
Sunnuvagun!

Who do you have more respect for, Dave:
Any PCTA who worships at the Church of St. Hiram.
That'd be wrong.
The person who talks endlessly about "state of the art", "better modes and
modulations", "the future of amateur radio", "progress", etc., etc., yet who
isn't on the ham bands at all?
Tsk. Keep the faith, Jimmie, make that Living Museum of Archaic
Radiotelegraphy continue...hold everyone back in the tube era
with all those "recycled" parts.
Couldn't you come up with a real response to Jim's query to me?
Keep talking snarly at all those non-ham people who have actually
had an entire career in radio-electronics involved in the contstantly-
changing state of the electronics and radio arts...and succeeded.
"Talking snarly"? I didn't note any snarly at all. You may well have
succeeded in the career goals you set for yourself. Dandy. That really
has nothing to do with amateur radio. You've certainly failed to act on
your several decades of declared interest in amateur radio. You've not
even *attempted* to obtain the most basic of licenses, much less that
"Extra right out of the box". Do you see this statement of facts as
"talking snarly"?
Work that key and collect those points and QSLs, remake tube
bases into plug-in coil forms, memorize all those schematics to
be the Ninth Wonder of the Radio world to anyone visiting your
shack. Force everyone to learn telegraphy to play in your ham
sandbox on HF.
He can do that or anything else permitted by an amateur radio license.
You simply aren't involved.
