Then you were BOOTLEGGING, old man. ILLEGAL. Tsk, tsk.
Of course Putzie would have to have some real information on ham radio to
know how that works, wouldn't he?
US amateur radio is one of the most publicized of electronics-related
hobbies...almost as much as radio-controlled models (there are about
170 thousand members of the Academy of Model Aeronautics and
there are about 170 thousand members of ARRL).
If you ever scan the HAM RADIO Magazine CD ($150 for a 3-disk set
of all 22 years of publication), you can see my articles in there. If the
CDs also include the masthead page you will also find me there for
two years.
And the liklihood that *HE* has done a large bit of bootlegging is more
than obvious given his longtime
'interest' in ham radio and the fact that he has never held a license, no?
I've never done any bootlegging in any radio service, old man. I've held
a commercial license since 1956 and had three years of REAL radio
communications for three years prior to that. You were not able to do
that before age 25. Probably too lazy on your part, ey?
You can't do anything more than throw **** (excuse me, "dung" or
"feces") at others in here...another fine example of the prime of
US amateur radio...and a former VE.
