Even though I can be included in this group, because of idiots like
Bruce, I have to agree with Helmut. Unfortunately he makes us ALL look
bad. We aren't all like him though. Fortunately there are more good
operators here in America than bad ones like Bruce.

The problem with Bruce is, He is all mouth and no action. America
needs to move forward with all aspects. People like Bruce are the one
that hold this country back from progress. All I can say now is, he
and his little leet group of CBextra buddies will be all alone. All of
us other open minded hams like Helmut and HLR will be be having fun
talking on our rigs while you sit there waiting for someone to beep
you.

How does wanting to preserve the past mean he is holding things back?
You
no code geeks are the short sighted ones.

Just because it is old, does NOT MEAN you should throw it out with the
trash.

None of us have said anything about throwing it in the trash. Some of
these NO-CODERs are gonna get there code because of the mystery of
code. It's like watching a scrambled cable tv channel, makes you
wonder what is going on. I don't want to see code gone as in never
used again. Keep it part of the Amateur Community, but don't force it
on others. There is other ways of preserving code which I see on Field
Day and Swap Meets also at Club Meetings. Keep it alive by discussing
it and doing competitions like field day.

Dang...something I can agree with.

You know something? I suggested the three license system a long time ago
to the FCC. And I also suggested a endorsement program. Such as for
various 'specialty' modes. SSTV, CW, Digital, etc. These would require
the applicant to show some degree of competence in those modes, such as at
a club.

It was totally ignored of course.
