HOW CAN THAT BE?!?!?!? You must obviously be mistaken. Those guys
passed morse code tests, and yet they're disruptive, cause trouble and
violate the ham radio laws & rules laid forth by the FCC?


And what mode were the violators using?

I was *sure* the PCTA crowd said that the morse code test was an adequate
filter to keep out the "CBplussers".


Who claimed that? Show us the post where *any* test is claimed to be a

perfect
filter that keeps out violators.


Well, it has ( allegedly ) kept several of the master-debators in this
newsgroup off of HF... ( Actually, it is their own laziness and lack of
character that holds them back, not the code, but we'll skip over that for
now. )

Because they cannot legally operate anything except VHF/UHF equipment, HF is
a better place to operate today!

Note that I do not have a strong opinion, one way or another about the
code/no-code debate, but I do have an opinion about the debate, itself.

I think that we should applaud QRZ.COM for developing a "zero tolerance"
policy toward people who try to change any of the forums there into a
code/no-code debate. They announced recently that code/no-coders will be
summarily booted off of the QRZ system, just as quickly as they identify
themselves through their actions.

I'd like to see more of that.
