So who do you think "Slow Code" is? Coslo? Miccolis? Roll? Deignan?
Dan, Dan the CB Radio Man?

Haven't a clue on Slow Code. The style doesn't sound like Coslo or
Miccolis.

Obviously it's someone who's been here awhile.

...or someone who has read a lot of ham magazines and
faithfully followed the ARRL's hymnbook.

Don't really know the style of the other fellows writing.

Troll was the racist poster ("My favorite black on the bus...," and
"Welfare mothers of Color with their hands out...").

K3LT, the claimed summa cum laude in human resources
study at some college, claiming he "could get any job
he wanted" in that field after graduation. He became
a bus driver. :-)

Deignan was the vanity callsign collector and the original "RF
Commando." He called me a liar when I said he had collected 12
callsigns, but I was wrong - one of the callsigns actually belonged to
his wife at the same address. So I guess I was a liar after all. I
should have known that he had a Ham Wife that collected vanity
callsigns, too.

Was it his wife or his sister? [it's been awhile...]

Deignan's buddy in Hawaii loaned him his PO Box number so he could scam
some Hawaiin calls, meanwhile, the Hawaiin PO Box owner was scamming a
Guam callsign. Never been to Guam and could have operated /KH2 like I
did for two years. I guess a Hawaiin Call Stroke Guam Call is a pretty
cool thing...

The Hawaiian buddy was Jeffrey Herman...who feigned
"innocence" on getting the Hawaii PO Box in here! :-)

Yeah, riiiight, knowing Deignan LIVED in Rhode Island
Herman got him a Hawaii PO Box address for "vacation"
mail or something? :-)

Anyway, these are the guys who pass judgement on me because I am too
fat, lazy, and stupid to buy into the whole Morse Exam stuff at 5, and
then 13, and then 20 WPM.

The Morsemen are the Masters! :-)

Morsemen are 'superior' beings above us mundanes... :-)

Fifty-three years ago I first fired-up on HF with a
1 KW transmitter running RTTY. My "first" really big
HF transmission. :-)

Didn't get trained in "CW" by the Army, didn't have to
use "CW" to transmit on HF or VHF or UHF for the next
three years...the middle year involving responsibility
of running a team of operators manning 36 to 40
transmitters. No license required. Perfectly legal.
Never needed nor used "CW" since on frequencies that
ranged from LF on up to 25 GHz, not even needed on HF
last year in operating an SGC 2020 from a boat in a
marina.

But, to do AMATEUR radio operation below 30 MHz, one
*MUST* need to pass a "CW" test!

1906 thinking in the year 2006. Ptui.

I began posting as hot-ham when I gave up Billy Beeper at Hans request.
I'd prefer to not post with my name and/or call as I used to, as I
seem to get lots and lots of spam when I do.

I use my IEEE e-mail alias. No charge. As a Lifetime
Member I could have taken advantage of it sooner. There
is some spam filtering with that mail alias but not as
much as I hoped.

Miccolis bitterly complains about my PREVIOUS "handles"
and confuses an e-mailing alias with 'screen name." :-)

Meanwhile, Robesin has posted my name, call and address much more than
I have.

That's so swell of him.

I guess when Mark posts Robesin's address and phone number, it's just
tit for tat. No?

The PCTA amateur extra morsemen rationalize that as "providing
a SERVICE." :-)

Whatever the PCTA amateur extra morsemen do is 'quitefine.'
