A question well stated, Slow Code...
No, it is a telephone conversation. Period. And that is what the whole hobby will turn into if the self-righteous, lazy whiners get their way and code is, once and for all, abolished. They all have contributed to the hobby's deterioration so far and don't like the fact that a few of us have got their number and can assess them for what they are. What do these simple-minded idiots think will happen if, as they press forward, they get all testing removed? The simple fact is that this is all a set up so the frequencies can be auctioned to non ham interests. The morons in Newington whimper about the reduced ham population. Geez Louise...there are many times more hams today (including those with the "faux" ham licenses not requiring code) than in the post WWII ham "boom." Not enough? No kids...this whole code thing and the watering down of the test is simply a matter dividing and conquering so "they" can come in and tell us that our numbers don't justify the spectrum. Then...pfssssst!!!...there goes one band after another. If any of the no coders had any balls they'd be asking the fcc for real testing and redevelop the hobby into what it used to be instead of the inane weekend contesting and buffoons sitting there are sideband comparing which rigs have the most features. Idiots. What's wrong with that, eslewhere you denied being arogant mr 2 faced if it helps motivate people to be better hams. Unfortunately, most here don't want better hams. I certainly do which is why I call for you Steve and woger to turn in your licenses please help out ham radio and turn yours in SC If two no-code hams contact each other on CB, is that a real QSO?

Oh yeah, I really miss the days when the grouchy old AM hams ceaselessly complained loud and long about those "Single Side-Winders" on their personal AM frequencies with that new fangled Mickey Mouse mode from hell (SSB). -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |

I've never broken any of those on the air or on usenet. Maybe now Markie and everyone else will see why CW is important. Thanks again and Keep up the good work. 73 de Slow Code |
