My position in life.

[KA5PIU]

Hello.

After a bit of discussion it was decided that I should explain my position as I see it in life.
I understand electronics to the point to where if I am handed a service manual I can repair a whatever and will experiment to some limited degree with SPICE.
I do not design circuits from scratch but rely on circuit source book material.
I can repair a computer with ease, how hard is it to swap boards? :mrgreen:
The closest thing to something I have built myself is the stun spurs, nothing but an inverter.
The Tesla coil in a briefcase is just that, just a repackaged proven design.
Wing pack is a design that was produced by Southwest Research Institute for the US army as project pegasus and is an attempt to update the Otto Lilienthal work.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Lilienthal
I just so happen to have big enough balls and enough common sense to fly the thing.
There are times when I refuse to fly, weather is everything.
I started flying with a Benson gyrocopter, still fly it.
The guy who decided to build his own wing pack, based on the same material I have to work with, is dead, crashed at Horizon airpark in San Antonio.
I climb and erect towers as part of my hobby, and look at the unsafe acts with amazement.
But I do this with my peers, friends.
The entire goal of all of this is to have fun, this is after all a hobby.
With that said, Amateur Radio is but one means of communications, like CB or GMRS.
In fact, as of late the push has been for encrypted communications, something outside of the scope of this hobby.
But bottom line is that I am one of the grunts on the team, I make it work.
And, that is the point, teamwork makes it happen.
Most of the team do not like hams, and for good reason, look around you, a bunch of people who do what?
I am the type of person who likes to meet other people, that means the whacker personna is not for me.
That is where I am coming from.

Hello.

Think that is exciting?
http://members.shaw.ca/karolus/karol.htm
So far, even the FBI is not sure of what to do about me.
However one thing is assured, whatever the case, I now draw a lot of attention.
http://english.aljazeera.net/
I stand accused of starting trouble in the Middle East.
My crime? providing communications equipment to persons outside of the government.
Am I guilty? you bet! ;)
Since non of the equipment was exported by myself there are no legal issues, and it is all mundane Amateur or CB equipment.
But, gotta blame someone.

That's a wart? It looks more like something from that scene in Alien.

If at first you don't succeed
try
try again
Then give up. There's no need to make an ass of yourself.

One problem. The links you provided have nothing to do with you. I really doubt the FBI is watching you.

I haven't a clue for sure. I found it by doing a google image search for wart. :yuck:

Hello.

This is America, the FBI is watching everyone!
Fact of the matter is that I have a security clearance so an FBI security assessment has been made of me.
What I said was that the FBI does not know what to think of me.
Simply put, nobody knows what to think of me. :mrgreen:
What is important is that we have fun.

[n2ize]

Judging from the slightly mottled appearance of the foot and toes in that picture I suspect the person in question has some problems with blood circulation in the lower legs and feet. Possibly diabetic. As for the wart... that doesn;t look like any common type of wart I have ever heard of. That thing is UGLY !! I am beginning to suspect it's photoshopped.

So are taxi drivers.

[NQ6U]

So are taxi drivers.

Or people with hazmat endorsements on their drivers licenses. I had to pay $100 and get fingerprinted last time I wanted to renew. But I did get a letter from the DHS, suitable for framing:

So, there it is. I'm officially not a terrorist.

[N2CHX]

Good grief. Can we finally get rid of the "Patriot" Act?

[WØTKX]

No. It makes too many people burst with patriotic pride. Like the blue pills.

Hello.

I posted this as almost a joke to what the congress critters are up to.
Pete King, congress critter, is doing an investigation of CAIR and in the process came up with my little issue at the Mosque.
And the answers surprise even I!
Good god, CAIR sucks!

Are you high? You can't even keep your own threads straight.

[NA4BH]

Well, you know what they say............

Hello.

Actually, the thread holds continuity.
The day I posted this thread I was informed of what really happened with the Mosque issue on 9/11/09.
If you read between the lines and sub attorney for ham you will get it.

I totally agree with this and give my support to Pete King, even if he is a congress critter. ;)
