End of an Era: FCC to Drop Morse Testing for All Amateur License
Classes

NEWINGTON, CT, Dec 15, 2006 -- In an historic move, the FCC has acted
to drop the Morse code requirement for all Amateur Radio license
classes.


Goodbye ham radio, hello to more cb frequencies that will be taken over
by the know-nothing pottymouth cbers with their band splattering
leenyears.

So..... Guess it's time for all those who fought to keep code, who have
posted that to end it would be the death of Ham Radio, to go away now. The
code is dead, so Radio must be dead to them. Wonder why they have spent so
much time in the CB group anyhow. I think it was more old assholiness than
concern about Ham. CB does not require a test to buy and operate. Amateur
Radio still requires testing. So, Bye guys, you have been entertaining.
