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.
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..
So you've read about ham radio and now you're an expert on it, you got it
all mastered. Yep, that's about your speed, all right. Again and as usual,
no surprises here.
I've never claimed to be an "expert" on amateur radio or any part
of radio. I've enjoyed a reasonably well-paying career in radio-
electronics engineering, something influenced by doing three
years of large-scale military communications before 1956.
So how was it you're still so uninformed that you never heard of an
unlicensed
(or underlicensed) operator working a ham radio station under the supervision
of a control operator who has the appropriate license? Hmmmm?
So your reading didn't really teach you all that much about ham radio?
Whatta surprise!
Kellie was describing what he did 52 years ago at age 14,
BEFORE HE WAS LICENSED.
Kellie previously claimed "26 patents" as a mighty inventor and a
search of patent records showed only ONE.
Kellie previously stated a number of old radio "facts" which were
proven false by others in here. [see "28 V jeeps" as one]
Kellie gets his "Irish" up every now and then and does a great deal
of BS scribbling.
Now YOU PROVE - beyond a shadow of a doubt - that Kellie was
telling the ABSOLUTE TRUTH back then.
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.
Don't bother with the CD nonsense, I was a charter 1968 subscriber, and I
still
have all the magazines save a few that were loaned out and didn't make it
home.
It sure is funny that I never noticed your byline, nor even any mention of
you
or your name in any of them.
I can't help your obvious reading DISABILITY, old man. My bylines are
still there and my mailing address is still the same. You WILL find my
name on HR's masthead, too.
There's a website with a complete listing of HAM RADIO Magazine
articles...taken from HR's annual listings, probably. I don't have the
bookmark but you can find it through a search.
Of course I could get them out and do a manual
search just to see how much of a liar you really are, but naw, you're a
phoney
from the get-go and that'd be a waste of my time.
I wouldn't want your fantasy shattered. Keep believing your own lies.
You will find peace, happiness, and serentity in Nirvana of fantasy.
Whatever (if anything)
you may have contributed was too inconsequential to be of note.
How would you know? :-)
You never understood Shannon's Law according to your exchanges
with Cecil Moore in here.
It took you a year to understand how to operate an outboard DSP
audio filter by your own public statements...and then you got rid of
it.
I doubt you have bothered to understand basic principles of radio and
electronics beyond Ohm's Law!
Hey, That's the way things work in the publishing world.
Again HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?
Have YOU ever sold any work to a publisher?
I've sold work to five publishers of electronics interest, all of it without
once meeting the editors face to face. The work sold itself.
It was a FUN thing to do as a sideline, never intended to be of
"heavyweight" calibre.
The heavyweights are
well remembered while the featherweights just float away, off into well
deserved oblivion.....
DICK, you've been forgotten before you were known...
I've never done any bootlegging in any radio service, old man.
So you now say, but you've said numerous things here that have shown
to be inaccurate at best, downright lies at worst. Maybe your NCI buddies
will believe you.
Tsk, tsk, tsk...another RAGE sufferer.
Feel free to spend weeks in the FCC Reading room, looking for all
those "bootlegging violations." You won't find any. I've never
bootlegged in radio or anything else under the ATF. :-)
I once had two pair of boots. Wore them on my feet, not the legs.
I've held
a commercial license since 1956 and had three years of REAL radio
communications for three years prior to that.
A tisket, a tasket, you lost your yellow basket! So you babysat the fuse
panel
at some obscure transmitter site outside Hiroshima or some such. How
impressive!
Maybe it was the leftovers from Fat Boy that got to you.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. YOUR problem might be radiation effects from your own
RF...or too much monotonic beeping.
Army radio station ADA was hardly "obscure." It was in and near Tokyo
in central Honshu, rather farther up north from Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
Radiating ~150 KW RF (old site) to ~250 KW RF (new site), all on HF,
it was most certainly "noticed" by anyone within several miles. :-)
43 transmitters with RF output ranging from 1 to 40 KW takes up
about 200 feet of interior space if arranged in two lines. The antenna
field required a 1 x 2 mile former airfield to hold them all.
I realize that isn't near as impressive as a Yaecomwood ham shack
in Missouri. :-)
You were not able to do
that before age 25. Probably too lazy on your part, ey?
The lazy occured on your shift when you forgot to learn how to count.
I took my discharge from the Army at age 23 after five years service, and had
the
First phone the last three years of that time. Maybe your mailorder
pschyo'ed bride will loan you a digital calculator?
You got a "discharge" after 5 years? Interesting. Weren't the terms
of service EIGHT years back then, old timer?
It's not nice to insult my wife...who is NOT "mailorder" and NOT under
any psychosis, nor did she ever get her degrees from any
"correspondence school."
Lessee, just what was it *you're* good at now, besides slinging dung
at licensed hams?
I'm not involved in any dung, DICK.
Your federal merit badge is NOT an automatic exemption to allow
yourself being an asshole.
Babysitting circuitbreakers at a transmitter site
in the backwoods on some Oriental island 50 years ago?
Tsk, tsk, tsk. If you are so emotionally braindead that you think
operation and maintenance of 43 HF transmitters, 16 VHF-UHF
radio relay sets, and 9 24-channel microwave radio relay sets is
just "babysitting circuitbreakers" then your own ham shack can
be described as a crystal set good for listening to AM BC from as
far away as 20 miles. :-)
Claiming authorship/editor**** of a ham radio magazine many years ago, altho
you
never were licensed, when no one WITH a ham radio license ever heard of you?
N2JTV not only "heard of me," he served with me in the same time,
same job, on another team (we had four). Gene and I have since
talked long distance and exchanged mail. He lives in Long Island, NY,
but his radio activity is mostly with radio-controlled model aircraft.
As to "claims," it ain't braggin if ya done it. I did it.
I dunno, Len, I terminated my career nearly ten years ago with an attractive
retirement. Since then I've done whatever I felt like doing, in radio and
outside
it. I don't need some 50 year old crutch to prop me up, again within ham radio
or
outside it. Clearly your needs hang out there on your sleeve for all to see.
Whatta shame.
Actually 55-year-old statement of fact. The US Army and US Air Force
GAVE UP on morse code modes for HF primary communications way
back in 1948. I was lucky to be assigned to work in one such station
five years later.
And once again-- I **KNOW** I've done more real radio work, work on
heavy hardware -radio transmitting- iron than you ever dreamed of, and
I don't mean just in ham radio, either, though I've done my share of that,
too.
OF COURSE YOU DID. You KNOW things that other folks DON'T.
Wow! Heavyweight FANTASY material, old timer.
Yes, we all KNOW that Missouri is a Mecca of "heavy hardware
radio transmitting iron." Yup, you've told us. :-) :-) :-)
Live with it.
You live with your FANTASY, I'll live with my REALITY.
OBTW, I was in your backyard again last week. I visited Yaesu USA Center at
the
Vertex Standard building in Cypress, and we toured around the
region a bit just looking things over.
Can't say I envy you living there.The place leaves a bad taste in one's
mouth.
Literally. You don't know what clean air is.
Cypress is NOT even close to being in "my backyard." :-)
California became the most populated state in the USA many years
ago. Many, many, many folks moved here because THEY liked it.
Tsk, tsk, why isn't Yaesu USA located in Missouri? :-)
