Not that I would want to work
Dan, who is on record as saying that all phone ops are lids..

You must be mistaken. I just checked my log and I've worked W4NTI
dozens of times over the past few years. Nearly half of the Q's were on
SSB (I think that mode qualifies as "phone".) Certainly Dan wouldn't
work people he considers "lids".

Good luck on this one now!

He said that phone ops are lids in the group. He tried to backtrack on
that, but google preserves his words indefinitely.

I just did a google search on the phrase "phone ops are lids in the
group" and only your message came back. I don't believe Dan said "phone
ops are lids in the group".

For the sake of getting things straight, guys, the statement Dan made
was as follows:

"I actually do consider ALUN a lid. Because he has stated he is a
phone operator ONLY. To me that is a lid."

Hans, what I meant was he said "phone ops are lids" in the group, not that
he said "phone ops are lids in the group". Obviously I need to spell things
out for you to get it.

Here is his original post (in quotes below):-

Perhaps someone can explain a certain operating habit I hear on Field
Day - but only one 'phone:

I hear most FD 'phone ops repeating the *received* exchange. That is,
you'll hear:

"November Two Echo Yankee from November Three Kilo Zed, roger your One
Bravo Eastern Pennsylvania, OK on your 1B EPA, please copy my three
alfa ...."

Why do so many deem it necessary to tell me what I just told them?
Heck, I know what class and section I'm in!

On CW, the single letter "R" does the job, and some ops don't even
bother with the R - they send their exchange as an indication that
they got yours. Or they send "TU" - (thank you) which does the job of
"roger" and "73" both.

--

One other point: Neither FD nor SS have the signal report as part of
the contact. FD is callsign, section and class, SS is serial number,
class, callsign, check and section, plus date and time which you don't
have to send but which are part of the required logging.

Well Jim, I think it means that phone ops are lids and real hams do it
with
continous wave.

Dan/W4NTI


So now you can all see, he said exactly what I said he did.
