What's wrong with this Hamfest announcement?

Are you refering to the fact that it's held in one of the southern island
provinces of the Philippines, or that they fail to render oaths and allegiance
to Hans Brakob?

Or perhaps it's the FCC VEC testing...???

Had you been to the RP you'd know there are a great number of US residents
who hold dual citizenship, and VE testing is routinely held outside the
territorial limits of the United States for their benefit. However this is
also a moot point since US citizenship is not required for FCC licensure.

Furthermore, review of FCC rules and regulations does not specifiy where
VE exams must be held. It does require prior public announcement of testing to
be held, and it would appear that this announcement meets the test of US law.

Therefore, there seems to be nothing wrong with the announcement.

Your point was?

"You miss the point, Steve. The purpose of r.r.a.p. is no longer
discussion of policy, or learning something, or study of communications
theory.

The purpose is to FIGHT and to denegrate the dignity of all who do not
agree with you! Any other post is off topic and is not welcome here.

Get with the program. No one is "mistaken" or "partially correct" on
r.r.a.p. They either 100% totally agree with you, or they are "a lying,
scum sucking, bottom feeding no-code beeper." There is no in between,
and there must be at least one of each in every conversation here.
Anything which resembles a rational exchange of ideas and useful
information will either be ignored, or some enterprising induhvidual
will hijack the thread and turn it into an argument about Morse. No
other "Policy" conversation is allowed to survive unmolested.
