As for what is right, do you know that there are thousands, maybe
millions of people who can't pass the writtens? How is it right that we
have any testing at all when we discriminate against them?


I am ceertainly willing to discuss non test based quilifaction frot he
ARS but that is a non no to even discuss


It isn't an insult to anyone to say that HF access isn't important
enough to them that they will take the time and effort to learn Morse
code. Ham radio doesn't have to be important to anyone - it's a hobby.


yes it is if the person says it is one right we ALL have mike is to
decide for ourselves what is insulting to US

It is an insult to mandate testing in 19th century tech in a service
using PUBLICLY own property and claiming to have anything to do with
techinal admavncement, esp if I say it is since I am more important
than the regs at least on some elvels I am a man not a mindless sheep
