What is annoying is that a skill test is foisted on those who
don't have the desire to use the skill.


Folks have just figured out a way to gain a
*privilege* in a perceived easier fashion, collectively whine. It
stands a great chance too. After all, the Gov't. agency they must
cajole shares their goal, less work. So with great glee, their
proponents espouse "the FCC doesn't agree that Morse is necessary." The
"regulatory" angle is just that, an angle. If you ignore the angle, you
realise that it was never about Element 1 in the first place.

It has always been about the code test. No angles. If you think it's just
a bid to reduce the requirements in general, then you just couldn't be
more wrong.

Alun, a morseodist will NEVER admit they are wrong or are defeated.

A morse code test has "always" been in regulations (always = 91 years)
so, therefore, by morseodist logic, it must ALWAYS be there.

Any demands, however slight, to reduce or eliminate the code test
are a blatant insult to individual Believers-in-Morse, heresy, an
abomination unto the god of ham, and other assorted pejoratives.

MISDIRECTION in replies in here is now an SOP. Sigh.



Why must our beloved hobby/service be reduced to the lowest common
denominator?

A "lowest common denominator" is unity. One.

United States amateur radio was created for only One. All must do as
that One did. Forever and ever.

Belief is love. Ergo, anything against the One is an insult.

Lots of insults in here, especially by the Loving Believers who will not,
ever, accept anything against their Beliefs of the One.

LHA.
