No Code VEC

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.) Do you call yourself an amateur operator? Do you have problems with loyalty? Interesting how you have no problem smearing the very people who have kept the service alive. So, maybe you're not even loyal to your own mother. Who cares? 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. Ha ha, yes, like a written test. And do you think your buddy LA could even hope to pass today's element 4? I don't think this alleged IEEE illuminati could pass extra anymore. He's too retired...been out of the business for too long. He still calls a capacitor a condenser and a tube a valve. The test has become a better filter than morse code, (for extra only). Let's move on to fixing the general class test. Len is stuck in the past, recirting the history of radio science and denigrating the use of morse code which has long become a moot issue (science the institution of 5 wpm no code). I find it interesting that you and Len want to trash the old yet you both still communicate via usenet. I mean, isn't there something newer you could go to, like blogs? We need history to help us avoid making the same old mistakes anew ... Hahahaha...good one. The old-timers need to be avoided like the plague. Yes, out with the old, in with the new, from the very same people who brought you jobs outsourcing and illegal immigration, Al Gore and global warming. Those old paradigms ain't no good anymore. Time to ruin the culture. 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. Unfortunately, today's EE graduate learn nothing about analog design. They cannot even design a linear power supply much less a switch mode. And to think of them trying to design an SSB transmitter or even a linear amp! If it's not prepackaged on a chip, throw it away. Digital rules. SW |
