I was on HF and communicating
before any of the regulars in here and I didn't have to use any
morse code at all.
Im sure your right, CB or 11 Meters is considered HF.
He's so fulla **** the whites of his eyes gotta be brown.
Incorrect. They are blue.
That has to be an interesting look you've got there, Leonard. What
color are the pupils?
Why do you ask about my former class? Those pupils were
representative of nearly all races.
I for one
was on the HF ham bands in 1951 *with CW* from W3CGS before I got my
Novice ticket.
Then you were BOOTLEGGING, old man. ILLEGAL. Tsk, tsk.
I think we may see another gap in your knowledge looming.
All indications are that Kellie was BOOTLEGGING despite claims
(which will surface) that there was a "control operator" there. No
way to ascertain if that control operator was there...except by
his word.
Since you cannot accept anyone's word (if their opinion on a subject
is different than yours), you cannot corroborate anything Kellie said
or did 52 years ago. You are overextending your self-professed task
of being the newsgroup kop in here.
The only "HF experience" he had in that timeframe was
as a grunt U.S. Army apprentice RTTY equipment mechanic & babysitter
1952-53.
Incorrect AGAIN!
Microwave Radio Relay Operation and Maintenance Supervisor, (then)
MOS 281.6. Temporarily doing Fixed Station Transmitters operation
and maintenance (supervisor) 1953 to 1956 at US Army radio station
ADA in Tokyo, Japan. 43 transmitters on HF ranging from 1 KW
(BC-339) to 40 KW (AN/FRC-22)...working to Seoul, Pusan,
Okinawa, Manila, Saigon, Anchorage, Seattle, Hawaii, San Francisco
on a 24/7 schedule. Not a single circuit used any morse code.
I know you just forgot to mention, "Fifty years ago..."
In 1952 I was in Basic Training and at the Signal School in Fort
Monmouth, NJ.
...and a year later you were an expert.
INCORRECT. I've never stated I was "expert" in HF communications.
A half century ago the US Army did NOT use morse code for long-
haul HF communications. I am a direct witness to that. So is
N2JTV. THAT was my point which you will never ever concede due
to your peculiar need to be some sort of radio guru and traffic kop.
After three years at Army station ADA and its 43 HF transmitters,
doing both operations and maintenance, I can claim some
experience in HF radio long ago.
"It ain't braggin' if ya done it." I did it.
