Brain Caught In Yet Another "Do As I Say, Not Do AS I Do" Twist
Subject: Doing Battle? Can't Resist Posting?
From: (William) Date: 10/19/2004 5:17 AM Central Standard Time Message-id: "KØHB" wrote in message nk.net... Reason #1: Before the days of "electronic precision" in keying, Morse was a manual art. An operators fist was a second "signature", and many operators cultivated a distinctive style. This was especially true where more than one operator shared a single call sign. You could tell who was on watch at KFS by the fist of the operator. The need or desire to develop a distinctive style because of a shared call sign should not have had much play in the amateur service where each operator is assigned a unique call sign. If you wish to speak of other services morse code use, then there are other venues for that. Brain, just last week you chastised several of us for trying to inhibit Lennie's rhetoric based upon your broad interpretation that this (RRAP) is a "radio" forum, not just an Amateur forum. Now you are trying to re-write your own policy here. Some of that "NCTA Double Standard", no doubt. Yet another Brainism. Steve, K4YZ |

In article , (Brian Kelly) writes: go thru to get on the air. There were neighborhood radio clubs which didn't allow full voting memberships to Novices and Techs . . . And in the mid-60s there were still some who did similar things. Indeed, there were Advanceds who looked down on Generals, Generals who looked down on Conditionals, Conditionals who looked down on Techs, and Techs who looked down on Novices. Etc. And it wasn't just kids vs. adults, either. Yessir, It's 2004 and it's **still** out there. Guy was up late last year for the vote on approving his membership application into The Group (the 43rd & Kingsessing "Group" we're both familair with yes?) You mean the one where the attendance sheet looks like the DXCC Honor Roll? and somebody asked "what license class does he have?" His sponser: "Uhhh . . Advanced." Then he ducked. Immediate 180dBA noise level from the Back Benchers, "what the hell is this guy's problem?" Well, what IS his problem? OK.... You completely requoted the answer to another post that was, in and of itself, not germane to that post anyway. Now you've reqoted it in answer to MY noting of YOUR change of "position" on what does and does not constitute valid topics of conversation in this forum. Absolutely amazing how the diminished mind works...... Steve, K4YZ |
