You sir, are nothing but a agitator and a disgrace to ham radio in

general,
assuming you have a license that is.

Godwin invoked. [ :-) ]

Attitude-wise, Dan = Stebie.

It's a NEW "Godwin" observation in here. Whenever someone goes
against the league-published grain of the olde-tyme hammes, they
are immediately labeled "slamming ham radio" or, in Danterms,
"agitator and disgrace." :-)

Them olde-fahrt morsemen gotta have...:

ALL shall march to the same drummer, in ranks, with one voice
counting cadence as taught in the Church of St. Hiram. NONE
shall speak against the Elite, the PCTA Extras.

ONE "service," all wearing the same "uniform." Totalitarian.

March, march, beep, beep...

Dan and Dave and the remaining living PCTAs haven't much changed
since '98 in here. They command a consensus of common thought;
i.e., CONCEDE to THEIR consensus, none others.

You can have any opinion you like as long as it's theirs.

Henry Ford invoked! ["you can have any car color you want
as long as it is black"]

Same thing in this "newsgroup" I guess. :-)

I see there's a Jim Miccolis N2EY posting below. I haven't gotten to
it yet, as I'm saving the best for last. Hope he doesn't disappoint as
he has ever since he made the comment, "A Morse Exam would be a barrier
to CW use."

Oh, oh...dat put Sister Nun of the Above into ruler-spank mode
again. She demand posting quote of where, when she make dat.
Dis be court of law! Bang da gavel, heah come de judge, heah
come de judge...

I think, after she stated that ALL exams are arbitrary, that she
decided to duck and run. Apparently, none of the PCTA heard her
remark, which included the Morse/Farnsworth exam. Right now she's
zagging across the lawn in Newington, looking for sanctuary.

Heh, I think I'd rather watch a DVD of "Logan's Run." :-)

Jimmie can't bear to acknowledge that the current percentage of
Technician and Technican Plus class licensees are now at 48.4
percent of all individual (non-club) licensees in the USA.
Jimmie has to rationalize that with all sorts of rather irrelevant
"excuses" common to the Elitist PCTA viewpoint of all those
commonfolk not embracing morsemanship with loving open arms.

Jim is somewhat frail. He's much better off not thinking about it.

The beginning of the end...

Tsk, since Jimmie became "tollmaster" in here, he ought to get
up a Pool on when the two Tech class license totals reach 50%!

Should be less than a year from now the way I see it. :-)

"Jes tellin' da truth an' they cain't stand it!" [Danism]

ARS (aka Archaic Radiotelegraphy Society) is in full flower in
here, their self-appointed self-righteous "representatives"
damning all who do not respect their mighty elitist rule. The
ARS only has "fun" when all licensees do as the Elites do, that
is, doing narrowband morse beeping.

And one keeps asking me where the Techs have gone. Hi!

They haven't gone to the "lower part of the bands" (on HF).

Olde-fahrt morsemen ought to be very happy. :-)

They aren't. Still so ANGRY!

The LAW is the LAW and NO LAWS CAN EVER BE CHANGED according to
these "guardians of amateur paradise." Code test MUST remain.
PCTA say so. No arguments against. Period. [sigh...]

There must still be some of them working for the FCC.

Must be. Or FCC cares so little about amateur radio that they
aren't doing anything about those 18 Petitions. No sign of
reaching a decision on which or what.

Happy Father's Day to you, Brian.

And to you, Len.

Thank you. Maybe next year it might be (for me) "great-grand"
instead of just "grand." :-)

Watch for responses to THAT little gem! :-) Davie gonna
chime in with "all those years you said you were 'interested' in
radio you never got a ham license!" Tsk, tsk, Too bad I got a
commercial ticket and then went into the electronics industry,
huh? :-) Sister Nun of the Above gonna try some ruler-spank
on that, too, lotsa stuff about "how many children I parented."
Sister NOT say how many he have parented...will ignore and
try misdirection to avoid answering.

Lotsa fun wid dese PCTA Extra folk allatime "sitting in
judgement" and hollering "order in da court!" :-)

"Book 'em, Danno!"

beep, beep
