All it takes is to get the attention of someone who has a say in the FCC's budget and is willing to make an inquiry re. "this Morse code thing." Don't let this discourage you, the battle for the integrity of the US ARS is far from over. Remember the vanity-call system and how it came about. -- Vy 73 de Bert WA2SI FISTS #9384/CC #1736 QRP ARCI #11782 |

Finally, the FCC has seen the light of day.
Allowing a few senile old men to kill amateur radio with their moth-ridden egos was too much to sit by watching. Apparently, someone else also noticed. This may be a hint that a new dawn may be rising on amateur radio and some new energetic fellows may be allowed to step in and move amateur radio from the stoneage. I think all knew, it was only a matter of time. I just expected more would have to fall to death by old age before this would happen, but I knew time was close. Still, keep your fingers crossed, a few old "girly-boy" old hams bit*hing like old women can hold back true advancement. This does prophesize the future, however, a few years may still need to pass before this is finally realized.

If they are, we should (but I bet we won't) see a major increase in people taking element 3 over the next several months as the FCC should have this wrapped up before their CSCEs expire. And now we'll see how many people have been "kept out by the Morse code". Of course we'll need to monitor over several years to see if their is a trend. A few months won't tell us a thing. Dee D.

If people had not tried to overhaul the entire system in their various (18) petitions, this most likely would have happened over a year ago. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |

Dee:
Although we have differences in our thoughts and evaluation of this whole situation, let us both hope you are wrong--dear. We need some good news for a change! Amateur radio and a bright future for it is bigger than you and I put together, indeed, it is more important than all of us here. Warmest regards, John "Dee Flint" wrote in message ...

Warmest regards, John "Dee I see a fine future for amateur radio but I also see a stabilization of numbers just as is occuring in our population growth and all the other activities to which I belong. The news of the FCC action and the action itself will have little to no noticeable impact. Ham radio would continue to develop either way. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
