Mike,

An excellent idea. I for one would be very interested in seeing the
logic and rationale that folks have for keeping or retiring the code
test. By removing the emotion, personal opinion and bias from the
discussion, some quite interesting points may well be raised.

I just saw another accusation of Pro-Coders as technically backwards.

Yet some of the most progressive RF Engineers and Technicians I know
(who are Hams) are really enamored of Morse CW.

I would challenge the NCTA's to show some proof that those who believe
that the morse code test should be retained are in a technical backwater.

I would also challenge them to do it without being abrasive or insulting.

Just facts or intelligent informed opinions.


Pro coders can help by refraining from name calling too.


My statement is that there is no direct relationship.


Anyone ready for a real discussion without the barbs? Can we do it?
First person to start throwing insults only makes it look bad for
his/her side.
