Perhaps if you know nothings, with zero experience in Morse Code had a

Dan/W4NTI

OH, you're logic (or lack thereof) is SO easy to beat!
But i'll do it anyway, even though there isn't a challenge in
it.... i'll do it by anology.



Oh bull....you are so advocating something.

yes, i'm advocating changes to the LAW, not directly
to people... a change that is more of a freeing up,
a liberation if you will, than an imposing of ideas
or an order onto people.

I'm advocating the "stopping" of something,
not the "imposing" of an idea onto people.

If you had a law passed that said "everybody must
wear a blue shirt in order to get a job", then, that
is IMPOSING something on somebody, perhaps
against thier will. If you successfully do it, than
you HAVE imposed something upon PEOPLE.

if I, then, advocate removing that law, saying "I
think that a person shouldn't HAVE to wear a
blue shirt, as it's not necissary to do a job.. you
can wear any color shirt you like", how is
that IMPOSING anything on a person?

OH, I get it.. you say that by advocating freedom
of choice, i'm burdening people!

"we shouldn't make people put up with all these
freedoms of decision! we should MAKE them
do what WE think they should do!"

just what does that, or WHO does that, sound
like?

And if your to dumb to know
what it is......your advocating the ellimination of Morse Code from the
Amateur Service. Care to try that again?


and ONCE again, you have revealed the SPIN that the PCTA is
trying to put on people such as myself. People like myself simply
advocate the removal of TESTING. Why do you fellows REFUSE
to ackowledge that? you don't like the idea that we are advocating
freeing up unnecessary legislation and regulation, so you try
to SPIN it into us saying "we want morse code OFF the ham bands!"
and it's not true.

I think you want to frighten people into believing that, because the truth
finds a much better flavor with most people..... but, you won't succeed,
because each and every time you try to spin the issue you will be countered
by others such as I.

REPEAT: I, and most other NCTA's out there, advocate ONLY the
removal of morse code TESTING; not it's ELIMINATION from the

See? you're argument fails because you're trying to argue the wrong point.

When a standard must maintained, whether it be a ham license, or a pilots
license, then a test is required. Otherwise the quality goes down.

CW is a tradition in the ARS. It is a valuble mode of communications.
However, it requires a certain amount of dedication and desire to maintain
your ability to work the mode.

In otherwords advocating freedom of choice has nothing to do with getting a
ham license. People SHOULD NOT be able to force a change on the licensing
authorities, based mainly on being too lazy to try to meet the standard.

Why should those of us that have the dedication have to be forced to have
our privlidges reduced by those among us that are too lazy to bother to meet
the standards we did? Should be rejoice at this? I don't think so.

We know that is what you SAY. The reality of the situation is based on the
simple knowledge that human beings will take the easy way. Once CW testing
is elliminated, CW use will eventually dissapear. Folks simply will not
bother to learn it.

I honestly don't think that 5 words per minute is asking too much to gain
access to a large part of the spectrum. I can see your bitch about 20 and
maybe even 13. But for GAWDS sake....5wpm....ANYONE can do that.
Especially with the multiple guess test. Give it a rest. Pay your dues.
Even if it is only half price...or less.

I have posted several times in here that I've passed morse code testing,
and my first QSL cards were using the CW mode on 15 meters... and
I still ocassionally use CW.

I just don't believe people should be FORCED to learn it if they don't
want to.

Adherence to the rules, paying attention to "gentleman's agreements", and

If THAT was the fact, the overwhelming number of violaters on the 40 and

of thier own free will! well, the thing that made america so powerful, such
that
in 200 years +, we have surpassed nations in economic power that have been
on the planet for THOUSANDS of years, was that the free market forces were
allowed to decide what course the market would take... and low and behold,
the united states economic output is one third that of the total of the
ENTIRE
world..... that is, a nation with only 4.5% of the population has an
economic
value of 33% (about 11 trillion out of 34 trillion dollars) that of ALL

....if people worked morse code ONLY because they were forced to, then
I doubt they would use it at all... that is to say, these same people would
only pass the code test and then not use CW if they really didn't have thier
hearts into it. If that was the ONLY thing keeping CW alive, it would
have died a long time ago. But the bands are full of CW operators that
are using it of thier own free will.

If the free market determines that it no longer wants it, than keeping it
around is tantamount to nothing more than subsidizing a mode of

Good points Clint. But your last sentence shoots it all to hotel.
Basically you just admitted your too lazy to meet the standards. Whatever.

This arguement has and probably will, go on and on and on.

And there is a movement to remove the CW segements from the HF allocations.
There has been a discussion right here and I believe one or was it two ??,
comments I read to the FCC.

So there is a group out there that is really starting to **** the real hams
off. Bet that ticked you off, didn't it ?

How many violators are you talking about, versus how many licensed hams? Maybe
30 violators out of 300,000? That's 1 in 10,000 - .01%

Note also that ALL hams have taken written tests on the regulations and
operating practices, yet there are still violators.

No "filter" is perfect.

Note this plain, simple fact:

The vast majority of hams cited by FCC for operating violations are/were using
voice modes. Enforcement actions against hams using CW/Morse are almost
nonexistent. The ratio is far beyond what the relative popularity of the modes
would predict.

So maybe it's not the TEST but the USE of the mode that is the key. (bad pun
intended).

CW is a tradition in the ARS.

You're forcing the idea that the standards for a license must be changed.

People SHOULD NOT be able to force a change on the licensing
authorities, based mainly on being too lazy to try to meet the standard.

it's a representative republic; the very cornerstone of democracy is that
the people are able to effect change when they feel it necessary for
whatever reason THEY feel.

Up to a point, that's true. However, the idea that "the people" can force
whatever they want is limited. For example, even if a majority of people think
that OJ was guilty, it is not within the government's power to imprison or
excecute him based solely on what "the people" think. Nor should it be.

The idea that it's because they're "too lazy
to try to meet the standard" is simply your spin & rhetoric.

The same can be said for someone who says the only reason anyone is procodetest
is because they think "I did it, so everybody should have to be forced to do
it!!!!!"

Why should those of us that have the dedication have to be forced to have
our privlidges reduced by those among us that are too lazy to bother to

Look again. There are those who not only advocate code test elimination, but
also the reduction or elimination of the CW/data subbands.

We know that is what you SAY. The reality of the situation is based on
the simple knowledge that human beings will take the easy way. Once CW
testing
is elliminated, CW use will eventually dissapear. Folks simply will not
bother to learn it.

I don't believe that.

OH! so you admit the OTHER half of the AWEFUL truth! it comes down to

of thier own free will!

Not really. Nobody is required to get a ham license. It's all voluntary.

Why do the schools bother to teach basic arithmetic and math to children these
days? Calculators are everywhere. Why not let the kids decide what they want to
learn instead of FORCING old-fashioned manual arithmetic on them?

well, the thing that made america so powerful, such
that
in 200 years +, we have surpassed nations in economic power that have been
on the planet for THOUSANDS of years, was that the free market forces were
allowed to decide what course the market would take... and low and behold,

Things also cost a lot more here, too.

Actually, all the test does is require entry-level skills.

Then what will you say to those who would use the same argument against the
General and Extra written tests? After all, FCC thinks a single 35 question
multiple choice test is good enough to allow Techs to use any authorized mode,
frequency or power above 30 MHz. Is operating a transmitter on 14 MHz that
different from operating one on 144 MHz that another couple of tests are
required? Or is it just a "hoop jump" to FORCE theory on hams, amny of whom
don't want it?

Does this mean the PCTA are more like Colonel Clink, or
Sargeant Schultz?

A quote from Paul Cook, a typical "understanding
and tolerant" liberal...

"People like you really have no place in a civilized society although
that
same society does try to accommodate you. You're basically an idiot who
takes advantage of what a society has to offer each and every single day
yet
you refuse to acknowledge its cost or its benefits to you. "


Facts are to socialists what crosses are to vampires

@corp.supernews.com:

just don't EVER speak your mind when it comes to
morse code testing, unless it's to the effect that you
LOVE it and couldn't live without it.

You have to put on the jackboots of the CW police
and march in goosestep with the CW nazis, or
you'll get bashed a good one with a morse code
key.

Hey! Stand up and salute when you say that...

Look again. There are those who not only advocate code test elimination,
but
also the reduction or elimination of the CW/data subbands.

I've only seen that from a very few blindingly obvious trolls and a
known brain-damaged pair who's personal flame-fest has been infesting
r.r.*** for _years_.

I'd be interested in some quotes on this.

Hello Bob, sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

There was an entire thread on it here on rrap some time back. Thread title was:

"With CW gone, can the CW allocations be far behind?"

Lots of good quotes from various nontrolling parties.

Much of the rest of the world has no subbands-by-mode, and some folks think the
USA shouldn't have any, either. (I'm not one of 'em).

No worries in this zoo! I'm a bit behind myself, as you can tell...

I'll have to actually Google it if I can work up enough non-apathy
on the subject.

Much of the rest of the world has no subbands-by-mode, and some folks
think the
USA shouldn't have any, either. (I'm not one of 'em).

I'm totally in favor of an enactment that would create CW
'preserves', starting with the current allotments and then rationally
_expanding_ them, even, if it would cool the jets of the more obnoxious
PCTA's. (not that that will happen.)

That aside, I'm rather disappointed that you couldn't name at least
one of the 'regular' NCTA's as being in favor of eliminating the CW bands.
Maybe one sticks out for ya...

Attempt you insults all you want to Clint. I still say you know nothing
and
have no experience in the mode.

If you don't run over 18wpm consistantly, and are able to sit down and
copy
in your head. And have done so for years. Then may statement is true.
You have no concept.

And with you smart assed attitude you never will.


I'll have to take exception to that last comment, Dan! Clint obviously has
a dumb-assed attitude, not a smart-assed one.
