It seems to me they want to eliminate all testing.

That's what happens when no-codes and nickle hams start running
things. Or is that ruining things?

Naw, ARRL isn't trying to do that. I haven't seen anything in their
current goals that would lead me to believe that they are trying to
send the rest of our spectrum the way of 11 meters. I may be wrong, but
I don't think the FCC would do that again (if any of the current
commissioners are students of FCC history that is) even if the ARRL
suggested it.

The numbers of Hams out there and how it's been dropping though the
more recent years is an alarming trend. With the age of the average ham
creeping higher, this hobby is set to all but die out in the USA within
a generation unless something changes.

Surely you see the problem that the ARRL is trying to address. You may
not agree with their suggested solutions, but you'd have to agree that
we have a problem. Right?

indeed and it gets worse I am sure he believes the solution is worse
than the problem because it does not promote cw forever

Slow Code is only here to troll. He's a fan of CW, but not a big
enough fan to actually defent the continued testing of Morse Code with
any valid reasoning.

not that isn't fair BB there is No valid reasoning for the Code test
any more

the cllosest is boils down to "Tradition" and is fine as far as it goes
but they all fall down toin todays world

That's why I like to see them try to justify it.

Good Grief! It's as if the US Navy really does control the ARS, just
like they wanted to do in the early days. With the Navy, its all about
tradition.

Here's a valid reason for continued CW testing: To keep lowlifes like you
and Markie out of ham radio and off HF. You're too lazy to try to be
real hams. You see no value in being effective communicators, therefore
you're both worthless to the service and if you had to use CW to save a
life that person would die. You're both probably too lazy to use a
microphone to help save anyone too.

I'd like to see the No-code Tech class go away with a 5 wpm Tech the being
entry level to the service, or bring back a code only Novice class again.
Require 13 wpm code test for general and 20 wpm an Extra again.

People that don't like it should stay on CB. Ten-Four? This should
provide you and Markie a lot to stroke each other with. You both seem to
sing the same tune.

You see no value in being effective communicators,

The most effective communication is plain english!
