For that matter, where will the time come from for
you to set up an HF station and operate it?

Isn't it about time YOU came up with some solid-state
designs yourself?!?


The question was " . . . you to set up an HF station and operate it?"
When was the last time you set up your personally-owned station and
operatated it yourself solid state or otherwise Sweetums?

Thought so.

One more laughable pot calling the kettle black pile of bafflegab from
the bowels of L.A.


But...YOUR amateur radio world looks dark and dreary indeed.
No more will you be able to show off your "federally
authorized" morsemanship rank/title/privileges!


Nah, all we have to do is quietly show up at a Field Day getogether and
go brasspounding and watch the crowd of codeless wonders gather 'round
in amazement.

I'm sure that the world of amateur radio looks bleak indeed to a
sourball standing on the outside, looking in. Morse Code testing or no,
Mr. Anderson will still be on the outside looking in. There isn't a
snowball's chance in hell that Leonard will obtain his "Extra right out
of the box" before he completes his mission of taking up space and using
up oxygen.

Personally I am saving up diuretics and caffinated beverages in
anticipation of paying my "final respects" to the Licenseless One.

You're certain that it's amazement?

No actually I'm not certain. At one point I jumped out of the seat to
do a pit stop and asked one of 'em to fill in for me while was gone. In
his case the look on his face was either fear or embarrassment, I
couldn't tell which . . .

Well, we know that he once had a cb set. And was once co-owner of
some sort of land-mobile VHF system.

My MOTHER had her own CB mobile rig and was also part owner of VHF/FM
biz band xcvrs and she knew how to wire 'em and operate 'em.

When she she was seventy-something.

Been there. Done that.

Remember the year the one CW station made more points than
the three 'phone stations put together? Oh wait - that was
every year we operated...

Then you Noel and I decided we were tired of doing all the work again
and didn't go back the following year. The year 50 of their ops ran up
a grand total of around 150 contacts for the entire 24 hour event.
BWAAAHAHA!

Figured you to have been outfitted with a catheter for such an
important event.
