Reg:

Thank you for attempting to restore some sanity here...

However, don't be disappointed if your logic, common sense and decades of
experience is wasted here--seems these fellows won't take the psyche meds and
are believing the "visions" occurring in their minds...

John, a whole series of postings in this thread seems to have
migrated over from rec.radio.amateur.homebrew. One over there
("Polymath") goes off some deep end every once in a while and
starts one of these brouhahas...sigh.

Reg Edwards is a long time UK ham and author of dozens of
excellent small stand-alone programs for specialized
calculations on ham radio technology. Reg has his own site
where these small programs are downloadable free. Good
stuff there!

The preservation of Ham Radio against the influx of
the Mongolian Hordes of non-technical CBers
is not some brouhaha, but a matter of deep concern
for any self-respecting _REAL_ Radio Ham.

I was thinking it more like the masses over-throwing the evil "in-bred" hams
whose protectionist practices have killed the hobby and extract suffering on
radio for generations... listening to a bunch of geriatric oldsters farting
into their and having their arthritis limiting their code speed is just
becoming too much of a log jam to communications and growth in the hobby...

.... this change is a "good thing."

"Ham Radio has a well-regarded position in society ..." you've got to
be joking - my wife couldn't believe it when I decided to join the
ranks of such a "sad bunch of anoraks" when I took the RAE a few years
ago!

Hey...
Look at the audience, old, deaf, blind, living in an echo chamber, eating lotus
flowers, reading tea leaves which bear a strange resemblance to marijuana
leaves and having visions with rf damaged minds... and still trying to keep the
kids from getting their hands in the cookie jar (cb'ers attempting to gain
licenses.)

I tell ya, ain't bad for a bunch so challenged...

(I only got a couple of mild rf burns on my brain, don't think it damaged any
critical areas, but, ya never know.

anyone with even basic understanding of the term resonant will
tell you that one length can not resonate "across 40 metres"
