Flint, N8UZE The crux of the problem is that somehow too many think that they define the requirements. The inmates think they are in charge of the asylum. |

For every question I got wrong on the tests, I researched out the answer. Sources were reference books and the 'net. Yep. Continued until I scored 100 percent pretty consistently. And the actual test was a breeze, right? Wasn't too bad. Of course you passed. What you did was to 'study the test'. Which isn't "wrong" or illegal, despite what some may rant about it. You did what worked for you, within the rules. Here's the thing, Jim. I can still remember the right answers. So did I learn the material? Maybe. If you were given a new exam on the same material that used completely different questions and answers, could you pass it? If so, then you know the material. *If* you only care about right answers rather than understanding. Not really. I saw a electrician licensing test book with question pool recently. Lives depend on the electrician doing safe and proper work. and they are depending on the Electrician knowing. But someone cannot become a licensed electrician by written tests alone. There are extensive practical tests and experience requirements as well, and several levels of licensing. IIRC, here in PA it takes 9000 hours of documented work experience under the supervision of a licensed electrician to be licensed at the highest level. Sure, but if you flunk the test, question pool and all, then you aren't an electrician. 9000 hours of training aside. Point is, if you pass the test but don;t have the 9000 hours you aren't an electrician either. For example, I could ask: - Which of the following are blunatrons? (Flufnagles, zinthorps, calinars, rhenotors) A) Fluffnagles and rhenotors only B) Zinthorps only C) Calinars and zinthorps only D) Calinars, zinthorps and fluffnagles (Of course the correct answer is C) Your not going to catch me in a trick question, Mr. Micollis! Zinthorps only exist at a temperature of absolute zero, and even then it's only a theory!.......... Doesn't matter because the question pool committee has determined that C is the correct answer. Note that there is no answer which reads "Calinars only". Besides, you should know by now that a new type of superconducting nanotechnology zinthorp has been developed that is real, not theory. Impractical now because of the requirements for liquid helium cooling but in a few years, who knows? Now, if you remember that calinars and zinthorps are blunatrons but fluffnagles and rhenotors aren't, you'll always get the question right. But do you really understand anything about blunatrons? There was an old song called "Patches" that you may recall from high school days. Man is remembering how tough he had it as a kid. Among the folks I grew up with, we still use the line "And then the rains came, and washed all the crops away" whenever somebody starts geezering. hehe, I used to do a good rendition of the line after that - "And at the age of thirteen, I felt I had the weight of the whooole world on my shoulders" 8^) "And Mama knew what I was going through..." That's the one! It's particularly effective when someone is going on and one about something like how tough it was to find a parking space, or how long the line at Starbucks was this morning, That's how the Republican party got started isn't it? ;^) Exactly. and three people do it, one taking each line... "in harmony" If the test administrator looks like Heidi Klum, or if I get to be *her* test administrator, I'll volunteer to put the system throuigh its paces. Heck, I'll sign up for two weeks...... I've got dibs on Ms. Klum if she ever needs a ham radio instructor. Nice lass. Can you believe I had to look her up on the web? You must not pay attention to the magazine racks in the supermarket checkout line... Big problem is the name. I keep thinking of the old story of "Heidi", although the real one bears no resemblance!! I also claim dibs on Molly Sims... 73 de Jim, N2EY |

In article , (Steve Some in a position to know your "professional" services directly quantify your skills as "mediocre, at best..." A LIE, nursie. Bald-faced, out and out LIE. Lennie, you can keep repeating that until you die, but it will not make it any less true. A LIE, nursie. A Bald-faced (except for scraggly moustache), out and out LIE from an ignorant SOB who doesn't know one end of a REAL electronics lab from an advert in QST. You worked how many months as a purchasing agent in a set- top box maker and NEVER got to do any engineering work? That was the ONLY electronics "engineering" job you had in your entire life (I can't speak for your other personalities and I don't know the work environment in your fantasyland). I've been in aerospace since 1956, in electronics engineering with engineering design responsibility since 1961, through "retirement" of 1997 and beyond. You are being some kind of "judge" of professional engineering work?!? Bull****. Out and out bull****. Believe it or not, not everyone in your "profession" was enamored with your knowledge and skill. Geez, you ARE obsessed with hate and loathing, aren't you? You've worked at ALL the places I've worked, ey senior? You "knew" all the people I've worked with all that time? Of course you did, you just said you did. Hi hi and a ho ho!!! They certainly weren't enamored with your personality. Poor nursie. Can't get along in the big leagues. Speak nasty to all who've made a career in that. Tsk. Perhaps if you had stepped off of your self-grandizing pedestal once in a while...?!?! Perhaps nursie see a competent mental health professional and get some HELP for hisself? I got no "pedestal." I did what I did, got the money I got through working for it, got the education for the tasks to make more money to do more tasks, did them all and had fun doing so (except all the field trips were a PIA even though I got to see strange places and interesting things. In my business there was NO room for all the bull**** baffle- gab of marketing and selling. Electrons, fields and waves work by Their rules, not some bull**** artist who doesn't know squat about Ohm's Law of Resistance! Geez!!! Electrons, fields and waves don't care squat about Credentials or pretty pieces of paper making someone out to be Exxtra, no matter how many bottle of dos equis the Exxtra drank. You don't know squat about the electronics industry or military electronics or civilian electronics other than reading about ham radio in QST. YOU DON'T KNOW. I know more than you care to acknowledge, but that's OK by me. Yah, ve can all tell, by golly. Big Exxxxtra, doo beeping. Big man, heap smarts. Yah, yah. Now YOU produce those NAMES of the "some" you ALLEGE "know." Nope. They spoke to me on assurance that I'd guard thier confidentiality. That they were career engineers at NADC and had occassion to "know" you is adequate enough. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Nursie, you one BIGG BS tosser. LIES. Bull****. All LIES. You don't have ANY "names," Stalker. None. Ignorant twit. I was a field engineer (temporary assignment) for RCA Corporation, visiting NADC in six trips for a total of about three months, 1971 to 1972. The lab group I met with also came out to Van Nuys on three subsequent trips. I know who they are. One even visited my residence. YOU don't. You haven't got a clue. You are BLUFFING. Okay, I call. Show your hand. Tell everybody. You can't because they DON'T EXIST. They are a fermentation of your hate-filled obsessional, delusional psychosis in here. Again, you may continue to make that assertion over and over but it will not make it true. There is nothing "hate-filled" or "obsessional" about having taken the time to do some research on some of the references YOU provided. I just lucked up on the right people. More BULL****. BLUFF. Freak-out imagining by nursie, obsessed with hate and anger. Okay, just tell the lab group's name. Describe the project that RCA sent me on. Describe the "competitor" project, the company name at least (well known, located in the upper midwest). Describe the aircraft used in the airborne testing, where they flew. Tell what "Yankee Bravo Tango" meant in the NADC group. You can't do it, can you? BS artist with no talent, trying to use a littly bitty schoolchild's paint brush to cover an entire billboard. Should have kept your mouth shut, Lennie. You set your own trap. No "Trap." Been there, done that. Got the evidence. You hate that. TS. Too bad for you. The only secrets I got are under Title 18, USC. Not many left. The rest is all out in the open. What would "help" here, Lennie, is if you would take it upon yourself to act your age, stop making assertions and proclamations that are easy to prove wrong, and actually DO the things you claim you are going to do. "Acting one's age?!?!?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA You mean like YOUR maniacal "laughter?!?" :-) :-) :-) What, you've gotten yourself through med school, can "officially" sign MD behind your ham call? :-) Go for it! When you are done there, go to work for Disney in their "imagineering" for Disneyland. All fantasy you dream up, nursie, bull****, pushed on by lots of hate and obsessive need to destroy those who don't agree with you. Might make a nice horror addition to Disneyland...or, in your case, Dizzyland. You are in psychiatric services about as much as your short-term purchasing agent job made you "knowledgeable" about electronic engineering. Ptui. Zero. Zip. Nada. Nyet. BS. LHA / WMD |

The newcomer or the experienced ham? That is the very crux of the problem. Somehow too many have lost sight of the fact that those with experience should be the ones to define the requirements. But it also needs to be the RIGHT experience. [introduction to another hate-filled obsessive need to defame another...] Lennie the Liar has a lot of "experience" in SOME radio matters, but zero-point-zero percent of it is as an Amateur Radio licensee. "SOME?" Like since 1953? Like since 1956? What has nursie done in that other "SOME" of radio? Answrer: Nottadamnthing. :-) Also zero-point-zero experience in "emergency communications". WRONG. Use Rev. Jim's Time Mashine and go back to 1994. Some earth-shaking news awaits you, nursie. His "traffic handling" experience was as a radio clerk in the Army in the FIFTIES, and his experience in practical avionics goes back to his days as a STUDENT (never licensed) pilot back when Lear organ-grinder radios were the "state of the art". WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. Tsk, tsk, tsk. MOS 281.6 - Microwave Radio Relay Operations and Service Supervisor plus brevet MOSs of Fixed Station Transmitter Operations and Service, Carrier Systems Operations and Service. [the "point-6" in that old MOS numbering is the indicator of supervisory duties which I had as an E-5 S/Sgt] 1953 to 1956. "Three up and one down" after just 2 1/2 years. Earned. "Practical avionics" includes airborne radar (both military and civilian), airborne radionavigation equipment (TACAN, DME, VOR, Localizer, Glideslope, and Marker Beacon) plus several missle systems which few will know about, such as the old Hughes Aircraft "Falcon" series or "Maverick." That at, in chronological order, Ramo-Wooldridge (the "R" and "W" of TRW now), Micro-Radionics Inc., Van Nuys, CA, EOS [Electro-Optical Systems] a division of Xerox, Pasadena, CA (mostly spacecraft stuff), RCA Corporation EASD (Electro- magnetic and Aviation Systems Division), Van Nuys, CA, Hughes Aircraft Missle Division (Hughes for the 2nd time, this at the same buildings once leased by R-W), Canoga Park, CA, and Teledyne Electronics, Newbury Park, CA [designers and manufacturers of military transponders, what civilians call "IFF"]. Wanna talk how that marvelous VOR works? No problem...old NARCO box or an RCA 3 1/2" instrument package that has it all...Nav and Com, with MB and LOC and GS all packed in behind the OBS. Wanna talk ground station VOR or TACAN? No problem there, either. Wanna talk on-the-air while airborne? No problem, done that too and not just with some UNICOM at a grass field. More like the Western Airlines maintenance facility at LAX. BTW, oh great and ignorant bird of the radio universe, the Army didn't have a "message center" at ADA. Other Army message centers fed it and were fed in turn...ADA kept the radio circuits working. They still do that as they did at Fort Irwin in 1989 for regimental level field radio (quite a bit different than 35 years prior). No manual telegraphy in the 50s, not in the 80s, the 90s, or this new millennium. Sunnuvagun! Who would a thought it? No CW! :-) Would you want HIM making binding decisions for you in regards to Amateur Radio policy? Yes, why trust the FCC to regulate amateur radio? None at the FCC need have ham licenses to do that. Not even the FDA needs ham licenses and they stamp the hams. Too. Riiiiiight...keep the beepers in charge of hum raddio...those mighty macho morsemen keeping the airwaves pristine with the musick of morse as they did in the old, old days. Archaic Radio Service, the ARS of yeasteryear! [all rise...] When Lennie discusses matters of technical interest I sit up and pay attention...but that's ALL people like him CAN talk about. As Luke said to Obi Wan Kenobi, "Force off, Obi!" Your NF off! [Noise Figure, that is...wayyyyy too high...] I know people like him in my professional life too...people who can recite the textbooks and history annals inside and out...but don't have a valid clue as to HOW to apply what they know. People like that are dangerous. Oh, my, the mighty macho morseman crowns hisself King of the Karing once again. Real MDs who've gone through the rigors of med school and internship (and having to listen to know-it-all nursies try to tell them what to do) "don't know enough to apply!" Oh, my, TN state should have given him a MD to put behind his name? [yes, if it means "Morose Dysfunctional"] When the chips are down, two things happen with nursie: First, he don't know one chip from another or how they are supposed to work; two, his Mouth will get working and his pudgy fingers will type out all kinds of schmucky nastygrams in the newsgrope (mouth has to snarl and mutter as he shouts via the keyboard). Want radio OPERATING? Sure. No problem. Done it from land, from water, from a cockpit while aloft. Want space comms? Sorry, you can't do that yet, NASA can't afford to send Morose Dysfunctionals off on expensive spaceships. I'll just stand in the JPL mission control room (as I've done for a few missions) and watch the live data come in from Mars or wherever. That be happy. I've "worked" a station ON the moon. Stalker Stevie never did. Goldstone more fun place, though it be hot, hot. Clear Lake fun for a visit but I wouldn't wanna work there ("failure no option" in the old days, not quite so now). Wanna get up at Oh-Dark- Thirty to prep telemetry for an avionics package on a fast mover? Done that too. Edwards. China Lake. Kern County Airport #7 (Mojave). Phooey, like my mornings quiet and late. Who needs all that sweat to push envelopes? :-) Given my sweat, pushed an envelope a couple times, sweated in the labs producing goodness and newness, seen it work. Ham radio would be fun. But, all the "intelligent people" wanna recreate the hoary halcion days of the 1920s and 1930s. Phooey on them and Morris Goad. "Intelligent people" love spark Tx and Galena Rx? They be nutso, whacked-out. Keep on recreating Civil War of a kind, the ones between the beepers and talkers. Beep, beep. LHA / WMD |

The newcomer or the experienced ham? 73 de Jim, N2EY Jim, many experienced amateurs have spoken agains the continued use of the Morse Code as a filter. You ignore them, or say they must be wrong. Luckily, hams don't decide, necomer or otherwise. The FCC does, and they see merit in the reasonable arguments put forth by those experienced hams. Best of Luck Please post the URLs of the surveys to back up your claim. How "many?" Is it a majority or is it just a vocal minority? Official numbers with lots of statistical qualifications? Or the "official" views of the ARRL (which is decidedly biased in favor of morsemanship for amateurs)? [readers WILL know what your answer will be] So far the FCC has done nothing with the innumerable petitions nor have the acted unilaterally to implement the change now allowed by the international treaty. At this point it is premature to say that the FCC sees merit in either side of the question. The number of petitions for consideration are 18. Rather a large number for such a small radio service. On top of that, the FCC is going to do an R&O which is largely "rules housekeeping" and has nothing to do with code testing. Your point - and it must be obvious to most readers - is that you are miffed as well as adamant about keeping the code test. Any intelligent person doesn't consider it a filter. Any "intelligent person" would consider your statement as utter NONSENSE! :-) Mama Dee, you are sounding way too officious and arrogant and elitist when saying that "intelligent people don't consider it a filter." Intelligent people can see the whole of the radio environment and conclude that the morse code test is just an old anachronism. It is simply a useful element of ham radio that should be maintained. Repeated NONSENSE. Some consider it "important" solely because They were able to master it...and want to use that to keep "their territory" as private as possible for "their own kind." Some of the people against using it as a filter are for keeping it as a part of the ham's required knowledge. Please post the URLs of the surveys to back up your claim. How "many?" Is it a majority or is it just a vocal minority? Are there any Stanford-Binet IQ scores included with those surveys? After all, ONLY "intelligent people" will want to keep the code! :-) |

The Stalker put away is Amateur Corps Class A uniform and the recruiting posters for the United States Amateur Corps ("A few good men...") and lapsed into his hate-filled snarliness mode. I see a glimpse of humanity from Steve every few weeks. I like him much better that way. I'll pray for him tonight. I used to pray for him. Some time ago. Reason was I got this faraway guffaw smothered by a divine hand, I think. It went something like this: Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Well, Stalker IS a representative of top-of-the-line amateur radio licensee. Let's back away from that idea for a while. What? We've got maybe four or five Extras on here who are congenital liars, spinmasters, or just cranky old farts VS how many did Jim just post are in the ARS? Whatever Rev. Jim's source, it is the only one "correct." I prefer Hamdata.com tabulations, not the "interpreted kind." All those sources have fast broadband access to the SAME data files (enorrmous ones, BTW). I see your point. I also see all the PCTAs who are arrogantly adamant about Being So Right about their viewpoints. All us newsgrope readers see the same text. Those mighty words of the PCTA (and their ilk) appear on everyone's screen. They have their Say and So Be It. They are the Great Gurus. De facto, not de jure. What is anyone to believe about U.S. amateur radio if their only source of information is from those same OFs? I don't think Steve and the others on here are representative of top-of-the-line amateurs at all. No? :-) I agree with you...knowing more radio amateurs off-line than on- line. KD6JG is what I consider a good friend and I'm hoping to say hello to him in mid-California a bit later. W6MJN was Best Man at my wedding. That's just two out of many. shrug As a matter of fact, I feel kind of sorry for Jim. I think he's hung in here about a year too long. He should have bailed before his lost his last remnant of dignity. Jim was on the AOL ham pub before I saw him on r.r.a.p. Was like a Newington-south recruitment drive on AOL to me. Came off like an 80-year-old OF. QED. Couldn't take much controversy then, can't now. His post about "Morse Code Exams are a disincentive to CW use" really told the tale. Since then he's gone over to the dark side and can't find his way back. He's truly committed. All that "committment" gets to all. Amateur radio is NOT a marriage and life ever after. The PCTA cannot change their minds nor let anyone else change their minds. Not ever! :-) "MARS IS amateur radio" is from an extreme case. :-) All the PCTA love him. He be Tuff and Loud. Yell-Yell alla time. I think they only support him because they think they'll all hang separately if they don't hang together. I can't imagine them actually coming forward to say they love him. Just another case of group-think. Well, united they hang or they hang separately. Either way, the hanging happens. But, here's the thing with Yell-Yell: Everyone against him is "really me under a pseudonym!" So, what you just wrote is what I just wrote, since "we are the same person!" Hi hi hi hi. Bang the conundrum slowly... :-) So suprised when Jim first said Bruce might be brilliant (hi, hi), then said he wasn't proper amateur material. Broose is just a character...with or without a license. :-) |
