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.

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.

Im sure your right, CB or 11 Meters is considered HF.
If ten meters was not open during the day for the past couple days, you probably weren't checking it. 11 meters was kicking!. I didn't partake in any skip, though. |

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. LHA |

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? :-) LHA |

Many, many, many folks moved here because THEY liked it. And now it's one of the most highly taxed, crime ridden places in the United States. They face a $35BILLION budget shortfall for *this year* and they're not finished counting yet. All those "feel good" deals, and Putzie's vaunted emergency services bills coming due. Wonder what will be left when it all settles out? Quick and dirty math, that's at least $1000 for each citizen, man-woman-child residing there. One has to wonder when the big exodus will begin. So they're about to fire their Governor, not that he could have done much to avoid it all. And what will his replacement do to fix it? From all I've read and heard, the reason for all these California crises (remember the electric energy emrgency?) comes from a fundamental failure of the system and the voters there to connect rights with responsibilities. IOW, services are not connected to taxes. They vote in all sorts of mandates but not the taxes to fund them. And wouild you like to guess who's voting all that into being? The voters Hint: It's not the conservatives! Seems like Liberalism is about to devout itself in the Sunshine State. Actually, it's both. The "liberals" vote in the mandates. The "conservatives" block the taxes. Both sides disconnect rights from responsibilities. You get the worst of both worlds. Look at their electric "deregulation" of a few years back. The retail prices were regulated (classic big government utility/monopoly idea) but the wholesale prices weren't (classic laissez-faire trickle-down supply-side free-market-capitalism). Coupled with that was the desire for high tech jobs and investment (Silicon Valley) but not the responsibility to build the infrastructure to run it (power lines, generating stations). End result: Lotta people's lights went out. 73 de Jim, N2EY |
