the Techs who are "trapped" in VHF and above because they "can't" pass

code (as some would have us believe)?

It's Techs being Techs again, they're too busy "advancing the state of
the art" to be bothered with learning the code and contesting.

It's so refreshing to see Extras being Extras again; having their usual
disdain for the No Code Techs. And some people have to ask who chased
away the Techs.

Does the name "DIP****" mean anything to you "bb" ? Just curious.
