If you behave yourself and quit calling everyone that you disagree
with a liar, at least you can hide your problem.

My only "problem", Brain, is not tolerating persons who have been proven
to be liars.

You hate yourself in the morning. And at night. And during the day.

Two names come to immediate mind.

Should be three. Steven, James, and Robeson. :-)

And those unnamed other personalities: Nursie, the Dill Sergeant,
the Air Ace of the CAP, Dr. Killgore, etc., etc.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. So much intolerance there!

Check around, maybe you can get an industrial-strength mass
shipment of tranquilizers at bargain prices...

The idiot said my T5 logs were lost. They've been in storage since my
move to Ohio. 5 minutes on Google would have shown him that. But he
refused to look it up and continued to spread falsehoods.

I agree with the list of three names above.

...and he will continue to do all that spreading. :-)

Nursie thinks it is fine and dandy for him to say anything he wants
but others can't talk back to him...those others are "liars" and
"putzes." And Rev. Jim is on his hellfire/brimstone bicycle, busy
pedalling as fast as he can without getting tripped every foot of
the way on a nursie nasty. :-)

I agree with the list of three names above.

There's a far richer panopoly of Yiddish phrases which could be
used but those are good only for those who understand that
curious hybrid language...and none of the three names would fit
such profiling. :-)

We now return everybody to the personal attack modes of the
PCTAs hell-bent on smiting the unbeliever NCTA. Morse
Evangelism rules! :-)

No, I said YOU said your....

Oh...wait...

That STILL works!...Never mind..carry on!

Then why don't YOU show us, Brain?

Do you REALLY want me to spend the time, come up with one of the posts
where you feigned having "lost" them, only to ONCE AGAIN prove that you are not
trustworthy?

I agree with the list of three names above.

I am sure you do.

You THINK it detracts from you.

It doesn't.

What "works?" Nursie working again?

Poor nursie. Suffers from all that time and trouble on looking up
posts. Valuable time that could be spent doing productive work
like ethnic cleansing of this newsgroup of what he calls
"undesireable elements" (those he cannot cow into submission
to his wishes). :-)

Nursie can't be "shown" anything contradictory to his original
statements. Never mind that at least four publicly-accessible
documents on the Military Affiliate Radio System exist, nursie
said "Sorry, Hans, MARS IS amateur radio!" :-)

I agree with the list of three names above.

I am sure you do.

It doesn't.

True, it detracts from the "three names:" Steven, James, and
Robeson. :-)

Well, so far, there's been very little amateur radio policy brought
up by nursie. It's all been about nursie and her, excuse me, his
mighty rep as a "meaningful discourser." :-)

Never quite understood it, but it used to be that a callsign belonged to
the "station" and
not the operator, or something like that.

Yep. That derives from the fact that in most other radio services, the station
and the operator are/were completely independent licenses.

For example, consider maritime radio. A typical ship station has aseveral
operators, but the ship's callsign stays with the ship. The operators, OTOH,
change with the watch and from voyage to voyage. Same for broadcasting and many
other services.

Amateur radio is almost unique in that it is a licensed service where, in the
vast majority of cases, the station owner, engineer, operator and license
holder are all the same person.

Once it happened many years
ago that two
brothers got licenses but the FCC gave out only one callsign, as they
used the same
"station".

That must have been before WW2. Maybe even before the FCC, because there have
long been OM/XYL and other ham family setups where everyone had their own
callsign even though there was only one station.

The FCC recently decided to change that theory to one that
more closely
matches the way hams think of their callsigns. That a ham "owns" a
callsign and uses
it on whatever ham equipment he happens to be using at the moment. If I
borrow your
ham shack, I would still use my callsign. Once I'm satisfied that your
equipment works
correctly. "Looks like a kenwood TS440SAT, receives like one, and seems
to transmit
like it should."

There was a time when using your callsign/portable at my station was not
allowed by the rules. In fact, if you go back far enough, there was a time when
mobile and portable operations by hams were not allowed by the rules.

It also used to be possible to get additional station licenses so you didn't
have to sign portable or send in postcards. A typical situation would be one
where a ham had a vacation home where hamming would take place. Of course some
hams used this provision to hang onto callsigns they didn't want to give up
when moving out of a call district.

Portable operation was allowed first (early 1930s) but for a few years you
needed a second station license with a special callsign. Oddly enough, mobile
(land vehicle) operation came later - even after aeronauticla mobile operation
by hams was allowed. US hams were not allowed to use mobile on the ham bands
below 25 MHz until 1949.
