Mike, I've been meaning to ask. Are you still sore at me for
not
giving your grief about the balloon project?

HEH! Now you confused me Brian. But seriously, that you *didn't*
give
me grief was duly noted!

I've been stressing over
Steve's label of "antagonist" for not giving you grief for some
time
now. I'm such a terrible person. Hi!

Ohh, you know how newsgroups are.....

I know how they are, Mike!

You sure know how to destroy one.

How? By making fun of persons who insist on lying in
public...such as yourself, Brian?

They're populated by people who don't have the intestinal
fortitude to sign their names to their posts and they make up
allegations to try and hide behind.

And people who sign their names to every made up, false allegation.

Such as?

Ask Brain where the Techs went. He insists that they were
"chased
away", yet refuses to say who chased them away or where they went.
I've asked him repeatedly after he unequivocally stated they had.

Steve, it's old news. You're welcome to research it in the archives
unless you're just too lazy and/or inept.

Oh no, Brain! This was YOUR assertion! YOU stated all the Techs
have allegedly been "chased" somewhere..

Let's see you pony-up that proof, Lying One.

Ask Brain where the "unlicensed devices" are. He insists that
"unlicensed devices" play a "major roll" in emergency
communications.
He WON'T provide any evidence of it, but he insists it's true.

It's true.

If it was, where's your proof?

It was your assertion.

I say Brian P. Burke is was jsut caught up in the moment, tried to
bluff his way through, but got caught on a techniccality...The truth...

Brain has also recently asserted that ARES is "overblown", and
that it won't respond to "real disasters" due to the age of it's
membership. I've posted several news releases, all of them from
within
the last 2 weeks, and Brain won't explain how it is ARES is
"overblown"
when there's evidence to the contrary.

You failed as shift writer. You failed miserably, and you proved my
point.

You keep saying that but it's still not true.

Again, you are lying, Brian P Burke. Why do you insist on doing
that in the face of evidence to the contrary...?!?!

Those are just the recents ones...The Somalia horse is pretty
dead...He could never make that horse trot no matter how colorful a
jockey he put on it.

I'd like to see the documentation that you were the IMD on Okinawa.

You've got the dates, callsigns and places, Brian.

It's more than enough to substantiate MY claims...Now...About
those techs and ARES claims...???

His "I've worked DXCC several times over" stories are cute,
too...

Please retell those stories, Steve.

They weren't my stories, Brian. They were yours.

Now his most current diversion is adding up non-existant
"lies".
It just makes him look more feeble, but hey, it keeps him warm.

They are well documented, and you just issued lie #27.

Nope. Still at zero, Brain.

But you keep trying.

Keeps me warm too....from laughing so hard!

Oh, yeh, the "bwhahaha" laugh that you claimed to not make.

I never made that claim, Brian.

I DID claim that I DON'T use your "Hi" in written
communication as alleged "laughter".

You are welcome to re-post the item wherein you think I said I
never use that "Bwwwhahahahahahaha...."

And if we stack up the lies, Brian P., we'll have quite an archive
to leave for your heirs...Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar in excess of the "27" you
alledge that I have authored.

Nope, no "73". That went away when you saw fit to personalize

He always wants to have conversations with other people's wifes and

No "conversation", Brian...Just make them aware of your conduct.

Steve, K4YZ

You're lying again. That was lie #28 in just under 3 weeks.

They are not constant impedance connectors, but they were designed
for RF. Look at what they replaced. ;-)

Just bagged HZ1EX on 7013 kHz. 99.999% CW op and luvin' it.

Hi Kim,

I'm not sure how I missed this. I guess it's because I rarely check
USENET anymore, I'm mostly OTA in my spare time. (Which, sadly,
isn't much.)

I do agree that there are a multitude of ways folks can enjoy AR. I
also believe that the code "impediment" was removed in 1991 (?)
when the No-code Technician class license was created, thus negating
the infamous "barrier" argument. Some have said that this is
insufficient without HF privies. From a relative newbie's
perspective, this is kinda shameless. (I really don't mean to sound
inflammatory, but...)

I suppose I'm "old school" but I think privileges are just that,
privileges and not rights. I consider it a privilege to be able to
access part of the HF spectrum where calls like 3D2NA (Fiji Isles) or
3Z1IARU (Sp. IARU commemorative station) literally "emerge from the
ethers," work 'em and subsequently receive their QSL card. Is that
for everybody, I suppose not. Many of these calls are not so prevalent
on phone though.

I also believe it was a very good thing that the No-code Tech ticket
opened AR to many who weren't quite ready to commit themselves to
learning the Morse code. However, to ask that all three license classes
be made "No-code" is somewhat akin to being given a nice juicy
hamburger and then demanding that it be steak, hence kinda shameless.

My original statement stands. There are lots of folks that could be
enjoying some serious DX who don't even know how much they'd enjoy
it if they would simply focus their energies on rote memorizing 43
sounds rather than complaining about how unfair the code test
requirement is.

Anyway, I don't believe it was ever really about the code test. Drop
Element 1 completely AND do away with the published Q&A pools, THEN
brace for some serious bellyaching. I think the FCC will recognize that
too many present licensees support the retention of Element 1 to drop
it completely. Look for it to remain for the Extra class ticket.

My $0.02. :-)
