While the intent may be good, this is a REALLY BAD idea ...
Flooding the FCC Commissioner's e-mail inboxes with such letters
will only **** them off ... at ALL of ham radio, not just
pro-code-test or no-code test factions.
There is a right way and a wrong way to do this ... and this is
DEFINITELY the WRONG way.
Those who support the elimination of the Morse test from US FCC
rules would be well-advised to join NCI http://www.nocode.org and
follow the news.
NCI's Board of Directors is working the strategy for how to best
approach the FCC on this matter and we will keep the membership
informed when we have finalized those discussions.
Ya gotta get your people under control, Carl! 8^)
I'm not sure who you're referring to when you say "my people" ... the
ownership of people was abolished many, many years ago.
Not a very good deflection try.
Your people are the people on your side of this argument, quite simply.
"My people" (meaning NCI in this case, with the recognition
that I don't own them) DON'T advocate illegal "protest" operaton,
"mail-bombing" the FCC Commissioners, etc.
So yes, they are very much "your" people, Carl. And unless you get them
under control, they may do grave damage to the ARS.
A few folks here on usenet who advocate things (perhaps just to troll)
don't a grave threat to ham radio constitute.
Do you think that they are going to pay one bit of attention to people
like us PCTA's? It's up to you as a leader to get them under control.
Good luck.
I have posted, discouraging illegal "protest" operations, "mail-bombing"
the FCC, etc. What else would you have me do?
As I told Kim, if someone operates illegally, they deserve what they get.
Enforcement is the domain of Reilly and his associates at the FCC, *not*
of NCI (or me).
I will ALWAYS try my best to discourage bad, or even ill-advised,
behavior, but at the end of the day all I can do is advise ...
I am simply trying to provide good advice to folks who might be
overly eager and get carried away in ways that would be bad for ALL
of ham radio.
Good idea, I agree 100 percent.
Glad you agree ... now don't bust my chops over things you *know*
I can't control, just because we disagree on the Morse requirement :-)
