At 52 I am one of the "young guys here." The "amateur hobby radio'ists"
here have managed to chase away most if not all--down to the very last
REAL young guy away.

They do this with personal attacks on those of differing opinions. They
deny facts and figure. Like a bunch of shyster accountants they bend
figures to attempt to argue for the status quo.

Like a bunch of lawyers they attempt to bend the words of Haynie into an
"Atta Boy", while in reality he chastises them for ill behavior and
damaging the hobby.

There are no young hams here for a darn good reason--few have a skin
thick enough to have staying power. And then, you have those who just
have better things to do....

These guys who have stagnated the hobby are attempting to maintain the
status quo even as the hobby dips to low numbers, cannot achieve even
minor new band allocations and are ineffective in even limiting
BPL--broadband over powerline--simply because they have managed to put
the amateur radio hobby so far on the back burner most have forgotten of
its existence... and this they are quite happy with, clear bands so they
can rag chew with buddies over rants and medical problems is what they
really seek...

If you are in your 30 and under you will have a hard time staying
here--unless you like turning your nose brown...

Warmest regards,
John

REAL young guy away.

John, all of the mighty amateur warriors in here are "young."
They haven't aged a bit since they got their first ham licenses
as teen agers. Neither has their comportment...still frozen in
adolescence. :-)

This newsgroup IS "The Twilight Zone," needing no "signpost up
ahead" to tell where anyone is...only Rod Serling is "SK."

They do this with personal attacks on those of differing opinions. They
deny facts and figure. Like a bunch of shyster accountants they bend
figures to attempt to argue for the status quo.

Status quo kept status quo. Time be frozen in their adolescence.

THEY rule. None may say nay to their mighty (teen-age) words.

THEY formulate new laws of physics, mathematics, statistics,
bend truth like an ultimate elastomer at breaking point, say
that is "truth."

Like a bunch of lawyers they attempt to bend the words of Haynie into an
"Atta Boy", while in reality he chastises them for ill behavior and
damaging the hobby.

Haynie was "democratically elected" by ruling majority of
"representative of all hams." So sayeth the League.

Ergo, by THEIR rules, they defile themselves by talking against
the words of their "elected representative." Hypocritical
criticism by these mighty radiomen.

There are no young hams here for a darn good reason--few have a skin
thick enough to have staying power. And then, you have those who just
have better things to do....

Quite true, but some of these mighty (radio) warriors have
skins so thin it rivals the thickness of a microtome's
finest slice. They experience mighty emotional PAIN and
STRIKE OUT in anguish. So many strikes they have been "out"
for decades.

THEY cannot comprehend the modern world nor reality so they
defile it, denigrate it, damn all who point it out to them.
THEY rule. All shall bend to THEM.

These guys who have stagnated the hobby are attempting to maintain the
status quo even as the hobby dips to low numbers, cannot achieve even
minor new band allocations and are ineffective in even limiting
BPL--broadband over powerline--simply because they have managed to put
the amateur radio hobby so far on the back burner most have forgotten of
its existence... and this they are quite happy with, clear bands so they
can rag chew with buddies over rants and medical problems is what they
really seek...

John, THEY RULE. THEY exercise "judgement" on all who do not
heed their god-like edicts. When challenged they retreat into
their edict bunkers and compose songs and sagas of their "those
were the days" when they were (supposedly) young. The League
once had Archie comics. Fitting.

In one (strange) way, it is entertainment...TV re-runs on a
second-rate cable channel playing sit-coms of decades ago.
The Land Where Time Was Lost. Where some of THEM still live
in their heads.

THEY quo about their status like aging banty roosters. The
hens got tired of them some time ago, some leaving for better,
saner "nests." Their barnyard is now emptier and they feel
free to strut and posture...which they do in parades of pomp
and patriotic phrases (like pharisees) over their greatness.
Never mind their limping struts nor the molting feathers and
scratchy, cackling words of admonition...they are ageless,
immortal, secure in their "judgement" that only THEY are
"right."


If you are in your 30 and under you will have a hard time staying
here--unless you like turning your nose brown...

THEY cannot understand that and their feathers ruffle in
outrage that they are not believed. THEY "judge" and that
is that. All must to THEIR bidding, heed their guru words
of yesteryear despite the crackling of their cackling like
so much QRM. They are captains of their ship sinking slowly
in the river called denial.

Warmest regards,
John

And the same to you, Johm.

Mind the fallen molts and the absolute **** in this barnyard
left by the strutting but limping banty roosters. The FDA
has no ratings for these hams. Squawk 77, Mayday!

Some of us just refuse to be assinine crumudgeons like Lennie.

Big snip to bottom...I think Lennie and John will be fast friends.

There haven't been any 64 code transponders in service since 1970,
Lennie.

Of course you wouldn't know that because "aviator" is yet another
thing you are "not" and have no practical experience in...Well...No
experience since 1950-something, anyway...

Sheesh...This just isn't your week, is it?



retired (from regular hours) electronic engineer person

Thank-God.

Steve, K4YZ

geesh, alzheimers is already hitting me, having been born in 1949 I am
55--and I accuse women of lying about their age--I am getting old...
birthdays come too quickly, another before this years end, guess I would
secretly like to remain 52... frown

I know nothing of flying except how to board a plane (probably don't
even do that correctly...)

.... as I have said, has nothing to do with the death of amateur radio or
the dangers it faces...

No acknowledgement of the error. "Professional Engineer" who
allegedly "knows" Avionics.

If it were between you and I, yes, I'd be the last man on Earth.

And still don't see your acknowledgement of your error on the IFF
codes.

Stebie ultra-superior...(SNIP)

Only where you're concerned, Lennie...Of course it doesn't take too
much to BE that way, so it's no accomplishment of note.

Didn't see anything about your error there either, Lennie

Newsgroup all about Stebie and FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT enemies.

I don't have any enemies here, Lennie...at least as far as I am
concerned. If I do, THEY have a problem.

All enemies DIE.

Eventually.

All enemies LIE.

Not all of them. But you're the Geico of Liars, Lennie...Solid
97%, and working on the other 3%...

Only Stebie say truth.

Nope. But I am one of many. You're not, though.

Hope Stebie see dentist very soon. Get tooth fixed, smile
for first time in life.

I will.

When I unload those caffinated drinks.

Steve, K4YZ

Len:

I think steve's argument goes like this, "If I can find one thing wrong
with any of your text--I can dismiss ALL of it"

--OR--

"Once I can prove a point wrong in any of your posts--anything you have
to say from then on is LESS IMPORTANT than my text"

.... Where do they get these guys from? Even though the younger
generation is much more educated than just a few decades ago--dinosaurs
still walking the earth is an amazing sight!!! grin

John
