- Hi,
-
- I just heard about Amatuer Radio from a friend who is also beginning to
- learn about Amatuer Radio. It sounds really interesting to me and I would
- like to learn more details about this. Are there any magazines and books
- for Amateur radio? Or any FTP sites where I could download files
- about Amatuer Radio?
-
- I am interested in learning those codes and if you know where I can
- register for the class, do let me know. I live in Columbus, Ohio.
-
- Thanks very much! :)

- CW training was conducted at the Radioman 'A' School. If you're hearing
- code practice on 5870khz, please provide me the callsign of the originating
- station and I'll be happy to investigate. Are you certain it's code
- practice, or merely an automated weather product, which we still provide?
- It's entered as a file from a remote computer.

-
- I think you need to go back and read what I wrote again. The USCG becomes
- part of DOD during a war. As such, they run by the same rules as any other
- part of DOD, and maintain a liason bureaucracy with DOD.
-
- But if you're still into bandying semantics, and live within a few miles of a
- navigable seaway, I'll be more than happy to request that those "non-military"
- high endurance cutters shell your house with those peaceful, "non-military"
- five inch guns...;-)

-
- You got me there Paul. But...I think you know whose table I meant. Anyway,
- I think I will probably get more flames for my reply than you will for your
- idea. This is a very interesting topic and does beat the heck out of the
- code/no-code thing. Of course after putting on the straw that breaks the
- camel's back...we just love to pile on more straw. Kinda like killing a dead
- horse, don't ya think?
-
- I hope you can tell I'm just having fun with all this with just a tint of
- seriousness dropped in. I'll keep reading the replies to your original
- though. As Mr. Spock would say, "Fascinating." Simply fascinating.

- Well... I've gotten a ton of email and we've had some lively discussion
- here.
-
- *BUT*
-
- NOBODY has yet given one single objective reason why this proposal would
- not work, nor has anyone given an example of a likely method of abuse
- that was not covered by the HEAVY restrictions on the REMOTE operator,
- nor the fact that the LICENSED CONTROL OP was placing their license on
- the line anytime they did run a remote op.
