Well this thread is conjuring up some memories. Several years ago I operated a BBS on the North side called Arc Light. I'm guessing that was early to mid...
All, This is my first post....this thread made me think of the BBS that I used to frequent that was called "THe Grouch." It was based out of the East Side by...

Wow, is that weird! "Caity" has been on various VHF groups on Internet for several years, at least. I had no idea all that was going on. Glad I never bought...
I submitted a list of 10 of my favorite rocks songs to WKLU in Indianapolis. Last week they pulled my list and I just got done doing the voice overs. I'm going...
Perhaps had the ham community passed the had for the gender confused ham, he/she/it could have afforded the operations and would not have needed to resort to a...
The following is an editorial published in a recent on-line edition of Mobile Radio Technology. It may be a little off topic, but since it does mention a...
<getting my flamesuit on> I disagree with Bischoff. A federal criminal background check is not needed for amateur radio applicants. First of all the law is...
I also feel the same as Brian about background checks. There is to much government in our lives as it is. The FCC has never been able to control the CB bands,...
... And I don't think Bischoff is suggesting that. His comments seem to only apply to land mobile licenses. My concern is that if the FCC heads down that path...
Bob The less interference from the FCC the better. :-) I wonder how many commerical licencees are out there. BTW...Riley is Flying Pig #666 ... From: "Bob...
I agree with Bischoff. I think that we need criminal background checks for both Part 90 land mobile radio licenses and amateur licenses. If we had that, we'd...
Alex, Interesting. We'll just have to agree to disagree. Lid removal is one of those things that just never gets perfected. How many lids do you know that are...
Hey Alex...I just noticed you're a felow southsider! You're invited (every one is invited) to our ham radio gathering on October 13th. We will be camping at...
It looks like I have to disagree with Alex, too. Most of the jerks on the air probably aren't felons. I'd even venture so far as to say that many felons...
Don Miller ex-W9WNV is out of jail now. And he has a license again - I believe his call is AE6IY. Despite the trouble he got into with DXCC, he was one of the...
Just my guess - all that lid-like behavior is from people who have no criminal backgrounds. The percentage is probably far smaller than anything significant. ...
Walt, What comment? Riley Hollingsworth K4ZDH is Flying Pig #666. He supports QRP operations, and I have worked him several times inthe last few years. He's ...
Brian: My apologies. It is now obvious that I failed to grasp the concept and took a wrong turn at Albuquerque. I have a high regard for Riley and thought this...
Walt, No worries mate! He's got a tough job, but he's a tough cookie. 73 ... From: "n9wb" <n9wb@...> To: <IndyHamRadio@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday,...
Alex, Nope. I have been a member of MARC in the past, but I have never been the repeater guy. I manage to make about one meeting a year it seems. They get up...
Brian, Yes, I agree that MARC gets up too early on Saturday morning for me. I spoke in front of their club about antique radios once about 3 or 4 years ago....
Alex, WCARS is a VEC like the ARRL is a VEC. I am a VE for both groups. At Red Cross they have ARRL do the exams every two weeks and the WCARS guys do it the...
Brian, Thanks for the information.....I remember the Red Cross using a VEC (using their forms, etc) called the Western Carolina VEC, but hadn't heard of...
