Don't do anything so a few spoiled hams can keep their precious
bands to themselves and keep the average citizen out of ham radio.

The average citizen has no FCC lic.and no interest it what happens to ham
radio. THis is who we do not want. THe average citizen belongs on 11 meters

If you want to CW reqiurement to go away, some one is going need to file a
petition for rule change with the FCC. Until this happens, nothing can change,
I have no problem with the CW requirement going away, as the FCC has stated
Being able to send CW does not make some one a proficient ham operator.
So for those who want to get on HF and not learn code, get of your asses and
file a petition with the FCC. Otherwise, start to study and learn CW.

The way to get the average citizen involved in ham radio is to
eliminate the tests altogether.

NTI anyone?

Then again, just about any ARS test subject doesn't make proficiency
one way or the other, does it?

Average, above average, and below average citizens have access to radio --
CB, FRS, GMRS, MURS with no tests.

The best way to get the average citizen in to ham radio is to pass the
tests -- The FCC sed that

You did that when you got your drivers license -- didn't you ???

How did you get thru school, el, hi, college -- took the damn tests --
right?

Achieve me buckos, can do, be all you can be -- take the damn test! Audacity
that's the spirit!

Write the FCC and let them know this is not satisfactory. There are 200,000+
hams that deserve immediate access to the HF bands today.

Deserve?

The FCC is unresponsive to the public's wishes, they do what they want; look
at the recent decision to expand media ownership by one company!

Didn't the House overrule the FCC on that one a few days ago?

You "deserve" nothing! You wanna be on HF? Study the code.

And, for the record, I was never able to pass the code test. So, I
never got a ham ticket.

Keith,

A tech will still have to pass the element 3 written in order to obtain the
general. A modest try at a troll, no doubt.
