Len:

I think all whos' only purpose is for the continuation of amateur radio in
a relevant and up-to-date manner will agree, logical questions, exams,
examiners, methods and procedures need to be established, followed, and
upheld--and, especially in regards to realignment with present rules and
regulations.

Attrition should continue on at its' accelerating pace and shortly remove
any doubt as to the death of morse. CW is a problem which has fittingly
supplied its' own fix and is now engaged in implementing that fix (death.)

All new hams need only be aware of the past sins of arrl and the fanatic
devotion to CW and personalities as opposed to principals which has caused
cat-ass-trophy-type-damage to amateur radio and to steer clear of the arrl
or any movements to re-establish some pseudo-class system amongst amateurs
and thereby replace the "CW class system" with a new and equally insane
and damaging one.

We need history to help us avoid making the same old mistakes anew ...

The old-timers need to be avoided like the plague. The old failed methods
and tactics need to be avoided. The future needs to meet up with amateur
radio and bring it to life in the new millennium.

And your specific proposals are? Just saying that one needs to avoid the
old and come up with something new is useless. Concrete ideas and specific
plans are needed.

Dee, N8UZE
