[Boatanchors] ARRL?

[Robert Bethman]

Mr. Farrell,

I don't give approvals!  Should I so decide provide critique, GET OVER IT!

Been through more crap than you ever will have.

Owned and ran BC-610s, R-390As, Hallicrafters, Heathkits, Hammarlunds, 
and more than I can even remember.

Started to get my license back in '62, but Parental Discord leading to a 
divorce killed that at the time.  Ended up across the pond and while 
still in got a chance to squeeze in the Novice classes, then went to the 
Atlanta Office and got my General.

Currently studying the manual to go and sit for an Exam session to get 
Extra.

I'd say a number of folks have gotten fed up with several days of the 
Bovine Scatology!

Haven't had the opportunity to get back earlier.  Medical appointments.  
Now, due to Uncle Sam's Service,  I fall into the Disabled Veteran category.

I'm one whom put it all on the line, to come home to being spit on AND 
assaulted!

Simplistic individuals do not bother me one little bit.  So just go 
right on blathering!
