RICH SEZ... Do you have a FCC callsign?
Z SEZ.... No, sir. Is that a requirement for inclusion in this

RICH SEZ.... Definitely Not. So why do you hide your name?
Z SEZ...I don't hide my name. My given name is Z Sampson
Thompson, per my birth cert. No ham ticket, no callsign. Not a
famous author, nobody knows me anyway. Why does it matter. I've
gone by "Z" or "Zed" all my life.
Career was spent in comunications and related...HF/SW broadcasting,
ship-to-shore, etc. Climbed lots of towers, designed lots of
transmitters, had hams around me the whole time of course and even
have been heard on HF SSB from one or another ham's station, but
never got around to getting the ham ticket.
Any other personal questions on your mind?

### Hey Rich.... u finished cleaning the EGG off ur face yet ???
### Here's a fellow who has seen it all, done it all, designed it
all, repaired it all., probably dealt with every manufacturer of
every piece of Commercial + Broadcast gear ever made since day
1....... then gets kicked off the... 'amp reflector'.... cuz he
doesn't have a FCC callsign ! What a load of crap. It's
fellow's like this who have a lifetime of experience.... who's vast
knowledge is a major asset to a group like this.
### Rich... u can laff at 11-m ops all u want to.... but anybody
who can design and install 3 x 3CX3000F7's in a mobile setup...
and have the where with all to generate that much AC power... plus
an ant to go with it... obviously isn't stupid. They got it
over our local 2M FM ops here in town... who... "touch the coax
once in a while to make sure it's not getting hot... running 25
w "
### sounds to me like "Z".... just got vindicated.... and I
doubt "Z" would semi-float the grids on a 3-500Z linear either.
Heck... for all we know... the "Z" in 3-500Z was probably in
his honour.
