Cultural observation:
Europeans think 100 miles is a long way;
Americans think 100 years is a long time!

Whatever the case - we all know how this thread got started - and if you
forgot - read the title. AS OF 12/15 - the FCC has all but eliminated MORSE
CODE (CW). It is no longer required on tests......... So - CW Advocacy
group - GET A GRIP. As I said - if you love CW - go for it - use it all you
want - there are many who still do use it. But it isn't worth it to make
enemies over a mode - WE had no choice over. The FCC made it a part of Ham -
and the FCC took it away as a part of Ham. WE had nothing to say. ENJOY your
commaradery with your fellow hams and forget this FOOLISH argument - once
and for all - IT IS OVER. DEAD.
