By the way, since your Lordship doesn't understand it, I'm NOT
itching to get that mighty Nobel-quality amateur license...I'm just
trying to argue for the elimination of the morse code test for any
radio operator license.
Why?
If you have no interest in
becoming a radio amateur,
why do you attempt to
change the rules?
Every American should have an interest in increasing the number of
potential emergency radio operators.
A valid point.
However, Len does not
agree that amateur radio plays
any significant role in emergency
communications.
Must Len agree with everything? Some people say that cellular
telephones have no significant role in emergency communications, yet
about every footage of hurricane action film depicted an official with
a cellular telephone.
Tsk. All must agree
with the
renowned historian.
Not doing
so is heresy.
Heresy is not allowed
in the
Church of St. Hiram.
You just never know when you
might need one,
If so, why have any tests at all?
Because we already have a radio service without tests which can be
used for emergency communications.
Or
why have tests beyond the absolute
minimum possible?
Indeed.
and Morse Code just isn't needed to be an effective
emergency radio operator.
Morse Code has had a role
in some emergency communications
recently. These are well documented
by people who participated.
Do tell.
All Americans can
see that
on the evening
news?
We cannot. Lots of
radios to
be seen, civil
government and
National Guard
radios and news
network radios.
Ham radio radios
can only be
seen in action at
ARRL website.
However, to claim that every
radio amateur must be tested on Morse
Code because there might someday be
a need to use it in an emergency is quite
a stretch of credibility.
An incredible stretch.
Not an
elastomer in
existance
with that
much
stretch.
Only in
Newington.
It is clear that Len's interest goes far
beyond
eliminating the Morse Code test.\
He wants to eliminate the morse code test.
Rev. Jim thinks that is
heresy.
No one must speak ill of
the
dead. Morse code is as
good
as dead.
To quote a wise one:
"It is not the Morse, but the hatred"
I'm not familiar with that wise one. Who is it?
Dave Sumner? Jim
Haynie?
Art Bell? Ralph
Vartabedian?
He will never reveal
his sources.
He will never reveal
himself.
James P. Miccolis
hides in
cowardice, afraid of
reality,
has to use anonymity.
He is hiding only from
himself.
Not from readers here.
