Let the FCC know that they can no longer keep you from your right to use
the
ten meter band allocation if you are a technician licensee. The
international
requirement for morse code has been removed and there is no such thing as
a
technician plus license.
You don't have to use your identity, but no code technicians need to
finally
speak out to the FCC they will no longer be oppressed by rules designed
for the
stone age of electronic technology.
Get on the air at 6pm local time on August 1st or if the band is open any
time
to make contacts in the 28.300-28.500 MHz that is allocated to technicians
for
voice. Or if you have a computer you can use the allocated technician CW
bands
to send and receive morse code.
Currently the FCC and ARRL want to drag this morse code requirement out
for
one or two years while they put BPL and other technology on the fast
track. I
will be on the air and I hope 10,000 or more no code technicians will join
me.
I guess Hollingsworth will have to require 10,000 people to turn in their
CW
proficiency certificate if YOU will join us.
The morse code game is over and I'm not driving 55 when the speed limit
is
really 70 mph and the government hasn't changed the signs yet. Just go by
the
limitation of your technician license and don't go overboard, we want to
show
that just because we didn't pass some dinosaur morse code test that we are
bad
operators.
Get on 28.306 USB at 6 PM local time to talk with other no code tech's
that
are protesting the FCC and ARRL stupidity.

The FCC needs additional funds for enforcement and such...so all those with
a few extra thousand dollars that would like to contribute in the form of a
NAL, please go right ahead.

Yes, I have that equipment. No, I won't be dumb enough to do it.

This is the same troll who has had no luck trolling the amateur newsgroup,
so now he's crossposting to the CB newsgroup. Ignore him and he'll go away
faster then the CW requirement in Sweden or the UK. Speaking of the UK, listen
for them after 8PM EDT, that's the start of Friday over there.

Come on Bert..............We all know you are an elitist radio snob!
Just kidding...............
Lugar's is waiting for us to get there.

Another extra class trying to spread FUD.

I was once a no-code Technician. The only difference between you and I is
two writtens and a 5-wpm code test. The ability to pass the 5-wpm is not
anywhere near Morse code proficiency and can be passed easily with some
study and determination.

I disagree with your stance but I like your fire. Encouraging those with
similar beliefs to get off their collective ar$es and make some noise is
likely the right direction. I hope that those opposed to dropping Element
1
do the same. I happen to believe we (PCTA) outnumber you (NCTA) by a count
of 2:1.

Lol!

I'm with you, although I have much less time now. (Two jobs.) Our friend
went back to Oregon. Sadly, a victim of corporate downsizing...er, I mean
"streamlining." I haven't seen him post in over a year now. But I'm
certainly game. Went to TSR, The Spare Rib, yesterday and had a nice cut of
prime rib.
