For sure. It's much easier on the air. I can talk faster than I can type. 3733 or 3725 seem to be FB from 4PM till at least 6 PM.

Junk Yard Dawg. Good one!


It's not about a win or usenet tactics. Maybe it is for you, but don't project that onto me. That's also another usenet tactic.  ;-)

HAH! Touche'!  Grin

I guess this is another thread we'll have to revisit on the air someday. I'm getting real good at quick-tuning the Junkyard Dawg to the 3725 neighborhood. I hear you on, but you're always gone by the time I get there.

Besides, we still have that major league baseball discussion we haven't finished yet.  Wink

Okay, guys... I really am done now. It's safe to get back in the water.

Thanks for listening, and be sure to tip your waitress.

Let me get this straight.  KYV directs our attention to a poor newbie who doesn't know what a filter does in a radio.  He gets everyone stirred up about how rotton new hams are.

Everyone goose-steps with Don and slams the poor new ham with their postings.

Then, KYV says....oh yeah, I just read his biography and he may indeed seem "worthy" of his general class.

I certainly hope I never ask a dumb question on this holy forum.

Well Pat.... ya didn't. He didn't attack the newbee. Nor have I.

The question is a valid one. The fact that a general class licensee asked it is the point of contention. By the time one is a General he should know what a filter is and does, at least the concept !

That the testing for this knowledge is non-existant is the point. That's how I read it.

So the answer to Don's original question is No. A general class operator should not be asking that fundamental question. That he is, indicates a fault with the technical requirements for a license not the newbee himself. After all..... he followed all the rules and proceedures to get his ticket. Obviously, that path has changed over the years.

Just goes to show you what listening to SSB for extended periods of time will do to you.   Roll Eyes

Just curious Pat: if your thing is SSB (enough so that you make it part of your user name), why would you hang out on a board devoted to the AM mode? Everyone is welcome, of course, and many of us use more than one mode. But considering your recent posts, it seems a bit....dubious?

Now, if you were DoubleSideBandwithCarrierPat, things would be different of course.
