_REAL_ Ham Radio is a technical pursuit.

One area that remains easily open is the construction
of CW rigs - you need little more than an
oscillator.

Off-the-shelf talk-boxes are the stuff of which
CB is made, and not Ham Radio.

Therefore let us move to ban voice communications
from Ham Radio - a listen to 20m shows up inane
conversations from CB types only.

CW comms has always been the essence of Ham Radio,
and remains a feature of Ham Radio now that the
commercial world has moved into Sat comms.

So.....
1. Restore the 12 WPM Morse test around the world.
2. Cancel _ALL_ licences where the licensee has not
passed a 12 WPM Morse Test.
3. Remove all band plans - only Morse is now allowed.
4. All new licensees to be limited to their first year
op operation to 10W home-brewed rigs (And, of course,
on CW as there will be no more voice)
Let us fight the insidious march of the Mongolian
Hordes of CBers-Masquerading-As-Radio-Hams before it
is far too late!

Ham Radio is dead Long live the new and improved Ham radio
