Carl,

As you know, I do not support continuing the Morse exam. Other well
meaning people disagree with me and I respect their disagreement.

It is a puzzle to me why you continue to make a point of "rubbing
peoples nose in it". Perhaps "well meaning" doesn't apply in your case.

At least I'm not the only person who thinks tthat he is doing that.
Carl apparently LIKES to rub our noses in it. Carl is perhaps the
poorest "winner" I've ever seen.

Well then, I'll just put YOU down as one of the sorriest LOSERS in
the code test issue!

Your ancestors wouldn't like to see you that way, would they?

Hans,

I simply stated that I "love that paragraph ... etc." ... indicating
that I'm pleased with the IARU Administrative Council's
policy decision.

That is simply a fact (the expression that I'm glad the IARU is
becoming more progressive).

If you *choose* to interpret that as "rubbing peoples' noses in
it" I can't help that.

Hans

perhaps you are confusing "rubbing peoples nose in it" with "haveing a
strong desire not to allow an inaccurate spin be placed upon the topic",
as well as "not wanting a misrepresentation of the facts to go without
a balancing, differing opinion".

No...something along these lines would be "rubbing peoples nose in
it."

IARU Says "Remove Code", (Excerpted from the ARRL Letter)

"The focus was on the future when the International Amateur Radio
Union Administrative Council met September 6-7 in Amsterdam,
the Netherlands. In the aftermath of WRC-03, the council urged
IARU member-societies to call to the attention of their administrations
"the desirability of adopting specific changes in their domestic
regulations for the amateur and amateur-satellite services, so that
they will be consistent with the revised Article 25 of the international
Radio Regulations."

In that vein, the IARU governing body called for the removal of Morse
code as an examination requirement to operate on HF.

The council reiterated its stance first taken in 2001 that Morse code
proficiency "as a qualifying criterion for an HF amateur license is no
longer relevant to the healthy future of amateur Radio."

"IARU policy is to support the removal of Morse code testing as a
requirement for an amateur license to operate on frequencies below
30 MHz," the IARU Administrative Council resolved.

You made the same error of interpretation that your buddy Bill Sohl
did. Nowhere within that
document does it say they want to remove all code testing. If FCC should
allow a single category of
HF license to be issued and retain code testing for all others, that
would satisfy that blurb.

Sorry, that's the way it is.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
