I have an idea. This should thin the ranks of amateurs and let Big Brother
have the bands as is desired. We all know the FCC wants to sell the bands to
the highest bidder. In addition to the code requirement, lets have
proficiency testing in SSB, FM, RTTY, PSK-31 and Packet. That should just
about kill the code proponents off, as they are mostly too old, addled, and
unable to learn. That way, even they won't be able to use *their* bands
without these proficiencies.

Sounds like a plan, eh?

And just who do you think developed these modes? How new do you think these
modes are? It seems like everyone I contact on the "new" mode of PSK31 is
retired and has been for many years.

sample check Dee: how many people that you contact on ANY mode are not
retired and have been for years

went to our Radio meeting tues night and a talk was given on the "New"
mode PSK-31

I could go for that.

The more testing, the better. Then outsiders would look at the amateur
radio service and see valuable and capable operators, they would see our
spectrum wasn't being wasted by people that only know how to talk into a
microphone to communicate.

Thanks. :-) Great idea.

Mark,

You provide nothing useful to the internet, you're a retard. If you were
intelligent enough to post something someone could agree with or argue with
you about, things would be different, but all your retarded ass can do is
cut & paste one line mis-spelled babble, you contribute nothing to the
group so you should keep your dumb-ass mouth shut until you have something
useful to say. People may disagree with me on whether or not to keep CW,
but at least it's discussion. Your posts are mindless retard cut & paste
babble.

I get teased and forged by K4YZ and others too. I read the posts and have
a good laugh, I don't need to follow up to them. You're too retarded to
understand that and that's why they keep teasing your dumb ass.

From this point on anyone that teases your stupid ass has my blessing, I
can understand after this last batch of cut & paste of yours why they do
it. I tried to be as nice to you as I could, but you're just too ****ing
retarded to deal with.

Uhhhhhhh...No, you don't.

Your only attempt in recent days to post something even marginally
"on topic" appearing turned out to be blatant lies about alleged EME
contacts.

of course your are not

Hire an English tutor, you ignorant putz.

Shoot yourself, fatboy. We'll even play Taps on the kazoo for
you.
