Please wipe the seat after you get off to sit on the floor.

If you're really a code tested Extra, why do you want to dumb down ham
radio? You should help me push for better radio exams by supporting an
increase in speed of the code requirement. If we can get rid of the
no-codes and nickle hams, test everyone up to 13 and 20wpm, no one will
have to sit on the floor at club meetings anymore.

I don't want to dumb down amateur radio, but you very much want to.
You see, amateur radio is supposed to be about advancement of the art,
and preparing and maintaining a civilian population with contemporary
communications skills Mandating a mode that has fallen completely out
of military and commercial use as obsolete is contrary to the concept
of advancement of the art. It is as if blood letting was a required
course for a medical degree.

Code is fine for those who like that mode. I use it at least once a
month. However, it is no longer the mode that is best in weak signal
conditions, or that uses the narrowest band width for effective
communication. PSK31 runs circles around code. And guess
what....many of the most fervent code guys I know cheat and use
computers to print the received code on a screen, and a keyboard to
allow the computer to generate their sending.

An amateur extra exam these days covers information a lot more current
than that on the exam just a few decades ago. Perhaps instead of
harping on code as some indicator of intelligence, you should direct
your efforts to having all hams retested on license renewal, to make
sure they continue to be current with the state of the art in amateur
radio. Or do you believe that de Forest era vacuum tubes are more
relevant to amateur radio in the 21st century than integrated
circuits?


Code is just one part of it. Here's my four step plan that will keep
ham radio from becoming like CB:


Step 1: No more automatic renewals. Individuals must retest and
pass all elements required for their license class.

Step 2: The passing score for written exams needs to be raised to 85%.

Step 3: Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra.

Step 4: Make the no-code license one year non-renewable.

U R, and continue to be, a slow witted idiot.

In college, it was common knowledge to professors that a student needs
to hear a new idea six times to learn it (be presented with, shown,
etc.) It seems to me, you are taking a bit longer.

Is your whole family as slow witted and demented as yourself?
1) Do you receive disability for a gross genetic mental illness?
2) Did you receive a violent and tragic head injury which has left you
in such a deplorable condition?
3) Do you hail from some third world country where manners and morals
are left wanting?
5) Were you treated evilly by your parents? Where you molested by a
pack of raging homosexual pedophiles?

Really, here we ALL realize there is something terribly wrong, grossly
disgusting and evilly maniac which has befell you(downright diabolic!)

Tell us man, we are here to help you! Don't be afraid to admit it and
come clean. You already have our pity, although you found the end to
our patience a while back.

SC is not a ham..
He has no call
He has no life
If he was a ham he would be out tapping code and enjoying it like the rest
of us or working some remote station somewhere.
He is funny..kinda like reading dilbert in the funny papers..

I am also curious as to how he knows so much about CB?

CB aka 11meters does not bother me at all, I do not care what they do down
there...

AS for code....some like it some do not...

As for Ham becoming like CBers , we are self governed...we would hunt down
and shut down any one breaking the law.

John,

If it's not too difficult for your tiny CW hating brain to handle, try to
figured out how to use your killfile. Everyone is tired of seeing your
retard follow-ups to my protect ham radio posts. Tnx.

Try not to get your pants dirty when you sit on the floor at the next
club meeting.

Your plan will eliminate QRM. There will be nobody left with a

Are you an undercover agent for some commercial group that is looking
to take over ham band spectrum for commercial uses?

You are a caricature of a crusty old fool.

I know you're right. Requiring good operators will kill the service.

Hams just want to be appliance operators these days and they don't want
license exams that will interfere with them getting to those appliances
even though it means being less skilled. I don't see anyone modernizing
like everyone says is happening. They just get their licenses and grab a
microphone. What percentage of hams have a computer connected to a
radio? Probably less than 30%. Hams don't want to modernize. Guess we
just have live with inferior operators on the bands from here on out.
Then again, maybe hams shouldn't be required to be knowledgable or have
skills. Requiring skills and knowledge is too old skool. Everything must
be outcome based these days, even licensing. It ain't like we have to
help out in emergencies or anything. It's Quantity, not quality. We need
more hams even if they aren't skilled.
