I see. Thanks for clearing that up, Jim - for a minute there, I was

But it just had to be done, didn't it?


No, it didn't. But I did it anyway.


Of course you did. You had to!

Is there a problem with that? Do you think Len's slurs

There are several folks here whose 'slurs' and language are much worse
than this example (a reference to the bumbling and comical 'Nazis' on

It's not my job to point that out to each and every participant on

Your argument seems to be that since Len will probably exhibit
his typical immature ethnic-slur Godwin-violating bad-pun
Unknown-Soldier-insulting jackass behavior anyway, there's no
point in pointing out when he is, indeed, exhibiting his typical
immature ethnic-slur Godwin-violating bad-pun Unknown-Soldier-insulting
jackass behavior. Is that about right?

Perhaps you have a valid point, since if what Len seeks is
attention, pointing out his typical immature ethnic-slur
Godwin-violating bad-pun Unknown-Soldier-insulting jackass behavior
gives him that attention.


(73 de Jim etc. sig missing again)

Not missing - omitted.

The original meaning of "73" is "a friendly greeting
between operators". In the context of amateur radio,
this means between amateur radio operators.

It would be inappropriate to use the greeting to
someone who is not an amateur radio operator.

You are correct there Leo. Jim is perfectly capable of not responding

And of course, Len knows quite well that all he has to do is put in a
reference to the Nazi's, and it will get a response. Sets the hook quite
regularly, he does! Irresistible bait apparently.

Stalemate. Looks like everyone is getting exactly what they want.

I'm not sure that I'd agree, Mike. Jim seems to feel compelled to

Jim manages to respond to my comments only after someone else has.
That way he doesn't have to respond directly. WRT Len, that's a
completely different matter.

It still cracks me up that Jim said of Han's restructuring proposal,
that a "Morse Code Exam would be a barrier to CW use!" Hi!

My class of 33 at Penn (1976, Moore School of Electrical Engineering)
graduated 3 women - all specializing in computers. I don't think Towne
School graduated any female engineers that year.

Of course that's ancient history compared to today's ratios, but
it shows a starting point almost 30 years ago.


I will add some anecdotal comments to that. At my school we graduated
approx 200 engineers and about 10% were women.

[snip]
If I have it right you spent most of your career with the FCC, another
huge entity. Is it possible that women in engineering tend to
gravitate
in large numbers to major entities where fair employment
practices are
actually practiced and you've gotten involved with more of them than
I've ever managed to meet?


Perhaps not so much "gravitate" as in "are forced by circumstances"?

All of which is and has been changing. But it takes a long
time for such trends to make their way through the workforce.


Keep in mind that the majority of engineering jobs are at major entities in
major cities. Thus they will be more apt to be statistically
representative. In small companies and/or rural areas the numbers are going
to be skewed.


Phila. and it's surrounding five-county region is a huge and
technology-diverse Gotham City with hundreds of small
engineering-based employers and the numbers are *really* skewed - in
the direction of the very small number of woman engineers I run into
where I work.

I've worked at several companies where I was the only female
engineer out of a staff of from 5 to 10 engineers.


Can't imagine any such thing around here . . As an example go back to
when I popped out of Drexel which in 1963 was the biggest private
undergrad engineering school on the planet. Probably still is. There
were 87 ME grads, 89 EE grads and significant numbers of civil,
chemical and metallurgical engineers plus the physics and chemistry
majors. Maybe 400 all told. There was ONE, uno, singular woman in the
whole bunch and she was chem major. I haven't seen any huge shift since
then either, one female engineer out of ten in a small organization
where I've been are still true oddities.

I've been in engineering for 30 years. I've seen virtually no
discrimination in this field as this country remains chronically short of
engineers. Oh there are spots in the country where it is difficult to find
a job and sometimes the economy slumps but that does not mean engineers are
not needed but that the companies make do with a short handed staff (been
there done that).


.. . . Tell me . . ! I think you've brought up an important side issue.
My experience strongly indicates that many in the general public
consider engineering a lousy biz to get into as far as employment
stability is concerened. They're right, and it's gotten much worse
over the years. I'd have a hard time today recommending engineering to
a kid male or female considering career options.

Instead I believe that women are more prone than men to select jobs more on
the perceived desireability of the job location. They are more prone to
select the office jobs rather than the plant jobs, thus placing themselves
at the headquarters and technical offices rather than the factories out in
the boonies and so on.


I think you just hit the nail on the head Dee, the skew is in my court.
I work in areas women simply don't get into. Schlepping around
neighborhood machine shops for a living like I have is obviously not
"woman's work" for any number of valid reasons which go 'way beyond the
fact that they happen to be engineers. So of course woman engineers are
scarce the way I see the engineering biz.

Also there is a difference in what defines a
desireable location. A higher percentage of the men will look at a facility
in a rural location and say "now I can go fishing more often."


I'd like to be there when some lady engineer/ham lusts for a nice quiet
antenna location out in the boonies and is married to some city boy . .
..

There's
probably a whole raft of reasons having nothing to do with discrimination
that contribute to the disparity.


Indeed: The code has been cracked.

Heh heh heh. The "Seig Heil" is, etymologically speaking, a

What is interesting is the reverse psychology to The Big Lie
technique of the late 1930s' national socialist partei changed
that to be some kind of sole honorific to Adolf Hitler.

The major cause of the reverse psychology was a rather good

The Fuhrer was a feldwebel in WW1


Godwin invoked.


Tsk, tsk, tsk. Jimmie not know that the title of "fuhrer" (with
an emphasis on the second syllable, not the first) is an old, old
European military title of French origin. It means a grade that
is usually in between the underofficer (NCO) and "commissioned"
officer...vaguely like the USA warrant officer...and means simply
"leader."

It's use got remarkably altered from origin to later times, much
the same as the word "ham" went from its original "bad, sloppy,
non-professional" radio operation to glorious noble champion of
all radio, the amateur.

In the words of Hans - thank you, Captain Obvious!


Jimmie try to be cross between Miss Manners and Sister
Nun of the Above. Jimmie get as far as "cross."

Tsk. Origin of "73" (as well as "88") was among COMMERCIAL
telegraphers of the 1800s. Just a shorthand by them to cut
time in standard ending salutations common to written comms
of that era.


It would be inappropriate to use the greeting to
someone who is not an amateur radio operator.


Which I am. And have stated many times before.

Poor memory? Google 'er up.....


Tsk, tsk. Jimmie, representative of the "amateur community,"
dons his barrister wig and robes and proclaims "appropriate"
and "inappropriate" behaviour (especially with his "you") by
"all hams." Looks impressive but is dum**** behavior by
self-proclaimed, self-righteous ruler-spank by Sister Nun of
the Above.

73, Leo


(73 de Jim omitted apparently intentionally - boo hoo )

73, Leo.


Heeheeheeheeheeheeheehee.........
