well it did not work 6 years ago, why would I expect to work now?

assuming I was willing to put the time into trying

They've repackaged it and are selling it as "New and Improved."

All they did was change the timing so that you now have to take the
5WPM exam at 13-15WPM.

Ah, I see it sounds really promising then

It's almost enough to entice someone into the service...

Almost.

Here's what's going to happen after the Morse Code exam is dropped:

There will be a brief surge of NCT's who upgrade to an HF license.
There will be a brief (maybe 6 months?) burst of new ops on HF, then it
will be back to the repeaters.

There will be a brief surge of new Amateurs. Ditto the above,
minus the migration back to the repeaters.

Then it will be business as usual...Just as it has been for the
last 5 major changes of Amateur Radio regulations that were supposed to
bring magnificent numbers of new operators to the fold.

I already said what was going to happen; it will be almost enough to

'Cept for one thing... The FCC will have removed a unnecessary and
superfluous licencing requirement. Besides, who would want to jump
into a cesspool of people talking about licking excrement from other's
genitals anyway??? Thanks for your efforts to improve the service.

Just as it has been for the
last 5 major changes of Amateur Radio regulations that were supposed to
bring magnificent numbers of new operators to the fold.

What? No prediction hordes of unwashed heathens destroying amateur
radio as pro-coders have claimed in the last 5 major changes in Amateur
Radio regulations???

FYI, I'm afraid they've already come into the service - as code tested
hams. You're one of them. Congratulations.

I can only hope that in your fight to reduce other peoples enjoyment of
the ARS, that you've reduced your own. You've certainly reduced your
status in the human race.

No, the bands are going to get worse over the long haul.

hardly possible

Sure it's possible.

The FCC's already expanded the phone bands in anticipation of the
influx. Hopefully it will give folks some shoulder room in the short
run, but as soon as all the welfare Generals and Extras hit the air
with their new "lean-yar amp-lee-fyers" that margin will go back to
nothing.

We got people that don't want to be skilled knowledgable hams.

where?

Chassell, Michigan...Specifically at 17366 North River Road.

If they're too lazy to
learn CW they are going to be too lazy to learn other things too.

buls####

You're even incompetent in uttering profanities these days fatboy.

Technical discussions will decline. It will start to sound like CB.

so?

THERE IT IS, FOLKS!

MARK MORGAN, KB9RQZ, WANTS THE AMATEUR SERVICE TO SOUND LIKE
C.B. ! ! ! !

And strangely enough, IT FIGURES!

This way his pathetic whining and snivveling will just be that
much more floor-level QRN/M, and hopefully no one will notice what an
incompetent dweeb he is.

I give ham radio fifteen years after the code requirement is eliminated to
totally get there, but it will be noticable that it's going downhill
quality wise within the first five years.

you and steve are on the air I will hardly be noticed

No, Morkie...You can have 1000 "A-1" ops on the air, and all it
takes is one incompetent twit like you to goober up the works.

Just listen to the no-code ignorance on repeaters, you don't think thats
no going to migrate to HF?

what no code ignorance?

"The first personal here is..."

"You're swinging 20 pounds on the meter here..."

"Negatoriee..."

" I'm about destinated...."

[Heard on a repeater by a KI4 that's a "Tech" in QRZ] "Don't know
why you're so scratchy here, OM...You're full scale on the meter and
I'm only 5 miles from the repeater..."
