Database of Licensed Persons.


Once again the FCC seems to believe otherwise. Check out:
http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsS...rchLicense.jsp
and enter Butler, Larry under the selection for Restricted Radio
Operators ... put in Smith and you will get a whole page of Restricted
Radio Operators with license numbers.


Face it, Larry is a fraud who doesn't hold any license other than his
ham ticket and has repeatedly trashed many here for not having the
licenses he claims to hold. He cannot sumbit a single license number to
prove otherwise. He was run off once already when he got caught in his
stupid tirade about GMDSS, which showed his ignorance so badly it was
obvious he didn't have any GMDSS training, certifications or commercial
marine qualifications whatsoever. Now the old goat rants because the CG
won't let him adjust their VHF radios ... what a loon. He is a fraud.
