Robert:

Yes, well, here in calif--you must have noticed the "freebanders." At
least every major city has a club of them... I used to be on a
e-mailing list of theirs and kept up with their activities--they now
have went underground and clamped up--just hear 'em on the bands now...

Warmest regards,
John

I do too...

They're called "lazy".



I'd say that they weighed the task of learning code and decided
it wasn't worth their time. It's not like grammar or high school
where you have no choice but to learn the stuff some curriculum
committee decided you had to learn. So far I never had need for
Spanish or knowing about King Louie the 7th of France since
high school 33 years ago. As to code, it's "required" if you
want an HF capable ham license. Some people will decide not
to bother and go do something else.
