Hahaha. you really are an ass. You called me a liar, without proof. “Constantly calling in people for retesting”? No, on OCCASION there are reasons to do so, but guess what? There are testing sessions almost every, single weekend of the year somewhere. We have in my region, one per month. There has NEVER been an incident of the FCC calling someone in for retesting. Furthermore, the FCC doesn’t do that, so you’re the one that is incorrect, they will refuse to issue a license, but, the FCC DOES NOT DO THE TESTING. the testing is sanctioned by the FCC.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
Obviously YOUR experience with the term “Electronics engineer” is different from the folks with whom I work. LOL. You really haven’t any clue what you’re talking about - My technical title is “Systems Engineer” and I engineer things down to the component level. But, whatever you wish to believe. Calling MY education into question here doesn’t change the fact that you’re an ass nor that you’re attacking the Amateur Radio service. Mitt ROMNEY is also an ass and apparently ALL of his supporters are ASSES as well.
He did what happened on the video. He’ll not get my vote, and you’re certainly NOT doing much to convince folks otherwise, especially me.
This isn’t about ME, it’s about him.
Apparently, you’re one of those idiot Citizens banders who couldn’t GET an FCC license or something, which is why you’re attacking the Amateur Radio Service and the people in it. I’m sorry you’re not intelligent enough to take a “multiple guess test” and get a license GIVEN to you by a “wink wink” volunteer examiner, but apparently you’re just too ignorant. /shrug
Mitt Romney has made several statements that make him unqualified as a President. All he has to do is apologize for his stupid remarks to make me reconsider him, but at this point if you’re a supporter, and it appears you are, then you’re a very BAD example of the kind of people who support him - and if he is elected President because of you, then I suspect there will be a lot of dumb asses like yourself put into offices

Afraid you are off in the weeds on that one Rick. Before you make such a carte blanche statement you need to research public records. For your review you will find links below which specifically have notices where the licensees were notified to report for retesting under the auspices of FCC examiners and in FCC offices.
http://www.arrl.org/news/enforcement_logs/1999/0709.html
Notice in particular the item which occurred in CALIMESA, CA.
http://www.arrl.org/news/enforcement_logs/1999/0721.html
MIRAMAR SAN JUAN, PR, NEW YORK, NY, PONCE, PR, SAN FRANCISCO, CA licensees were order to appear for retesting at FCC facilities under FCC staff supervision in the above reference URL.
http://www.arrl.org/news/enforcement_logs/1999/0811.html
COROZAL, PR, NEW ALMADEN, CA, NEW YORK, NY, SACRAMENTO, CA, TAMPA, FL, licensees in the above referenced URL were similarly ordered to report for retesting under FCC supervision.
Again these are not isolated incidents.

Obviously I am better informed on amateur radio issues then you.

So now you are Systems Engineer instead of an “Electronics Engineer”? What body titled you a Systems Engineer? A check of the Colorado State Board of Registration shows no Rick Donaldson registered as either a Professional Engineer or Engineer Intern. Are you a full member of the IEEE or associate member? You did not elaborate on your degree, alma mater or if you are a Licensed Professional Engineer in any state. Do you wish to continue to discredit yourself?
——This isn’t about ME, it’s about him.——
I disagree! You made yourself an issue when you used your professional engineer background as a qualification to make statements based on your intellectual abilities.

Since I do not own a CB Radio I fail to see how I can be a CB Operator. I do however occasionally listen to shortwave transmissions and many of the tirades heard on the 27 MHz Citizens Band sound a lot like your rants here and those on 14.313 MHz.

I find it amusing you repeatedly refer to me as a donkey although I suspect your implication is that I am a vital anatomical part. If that is the case, thank you for the complement.
