Steve, I think it has to do with the disincentive of Morse Code
testing. You might want to check with Len on this.

Why?

Morse Code is only required for access to less than 3% of all Amateur
allocations, none of which is above 30MHz.

I hope you meant, "most of which...," unless we just got some lowfer
freqs.

Lennie keeps asserting that the future of Amateur Radio is in the new
technologies, none of which is occuring below 30Mhz.

Why not? What have you been doing with that Extra license? I hope
that you haven't been squandering a national resource.

He's been collecting issues of QST and memorizing every ad.

That way he's going to be a "guru" and "know all about it."

Lennie ALSO keeps insisting Amateur Radio is "stuck" in the 1930's
somewhere, yet evidence in every media indicates he's grossly mistaken.

See the Annual Classic Radio Issue, plus the February, March, April,
May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December
issues.

He might have gotten only to the March issue.

When he got to March he started counting cadence and hasn't
been seen for a while...

Also,
the fact that the majority of Amateur Radio activity takes place above
30Mhz
further exposes Lennie's rants for the silliness and antagonistic fodder
they
are.

Citation, please.

At best all he can do is a parking ticket. :-)

Ask Lennie? I could, but that would just amke the heap of unanswered
questions that much higher.

Humble yourself.

Do not ask the impossible. :-)
