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. ***** I particularly love that last paragraph .. they're finally moving from the past into, at least, the present.

Carl - wk3c hmmm, yes, but the PCTA's won't see it as being noteworthy or deserving of consideration. They'll dismiss it, say THAT body of people is ignorant and just doesn't know what's right....

I will be the absolute BEST driver of a modern internal combustion engine- driven automobile if I first take a blacksmith's apprenticeship and learn to shoe a horse. Yes. Quite logical.

Clint KB5ZHT Well, Clint, that kind of cynicism may seem to be amusing to some, but just goes to demonstrate a lack of any truly logical argument which supports your position. Therefore, it, and you, are easily dismissed. 73 de Larry, K3LT |

Therefore, it, and you, are easily dismissed. I don't know about you, Larry, but I like to know a lot about everything I do. That goes for cars, amateur radio, computers, housework, history, or whatever. I suspect you feel at least somewhat this way too. Strange that there is a whole culture built up that celebrates ignorance. That's why if my car breaks down on the road, I stand a good chance of getting it running again, why I know it isn't likely the F.C.C. won't test me on the design of a 1/4 wave dipole, and why I knew that there wasn't any special callsigns for non-coded amateurs. Not that I don't make mistakes, but I don't come into newsgroups acting as if I know everything either! 8^) - Mike KB3EIA - |

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. Hans -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

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. - Mike KB3EIA - |
