You are uninformed and only half-right. It does not help, it hinders.
Yes, it hinders.
It keeps out the stupid and lazy. Individuals that really don't what to be
hams if it requires knowledge and skill to get a license.
BULL****! Code is NOT KNOWLEDGE!!! I have NO problem learning
technical info that helps me use the radio properly. Code is not
needed to do that.
Get off your high-horse already.
Make them stay on CB and FRS. They're not an asset to the service.
CB and FRS don't have the range.
And neither are you.
Who the **** are YOU to make such a statement? You snot nosed,
arrogant PRICK! You do NOT know the kind of person that I am!! Wake up
and smell the cappuccino! Code is obsolete! Knowing code does NOTHING
to make somebody an "asset to the service". And, could you explain
what makes a person an "asset to the service"?
What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted
tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat,
spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?
