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?
No.
No???
NO!!!
Then what must Len agree with?
However, logical consistency
requires that if someone is
going to {{{claim}}}} make the
emergency radio operator
argument, then they must also
agree that amateur radio plays
a significant role in emergency
communications.
Not everyone need make that argument.
Need everyone with an amateur license perform emergency comms?
Some only have a license so they can get cool personalized license
plates.
Of course, we have noted that
logical consistency is not one of
Len's strong points.
But it is. Yet logical consistency would demand that upright amateurs
disapprove of Steve Robeson/K4YZ/K4CAP's behavio[u]r.
But you don't.
Some people say that cellular
telephones have no significant role in emergency communications,
Those people are mistaken.
Well, well. If only Almostintimefine had chimed in six moths ago.
As it is, you've allowed the naysayers to think legitimate civilian
communication systems are to be shunned.
yet
about every footage of hurricane action film depicted an official with
a cellular telephone.
Of course.
Of course.
Some people say that amateur radio
has no significant role in emergency
communications, because of cellilar phones.
cellular.
They are mistaken, too.
Of course.
The valid point is that cellular phones
cannot
be absolutely relied upon for emergency
communications.
What can be absolutely relied upon for emergency communications?
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.
What radio service is that?
The services presently covered under Part 95.
How well does it function in emergencies?
Depends on how many trash mouths have emergency power, or how many
trash mouths in the unaffected area want to interfere in legitimate
emergency comms.
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.
Even today.
Citations?
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.
Most incredible, to be quite accurate.
An impossible stretch, 1991. Now let's discuss HF.
It is clear that Len's interest goes far
beyond
eliminating the Morse Code test.\
He wants to eliminate the morse code test.
And much more.
I'm the one who wants one license. I don't recall him calling for any
particular license structure other than the elimination of a Morse
Code Exam for HF access.
If you have information that contradicts what I've just posted I'd
like to see it.
To quote a wise one:
"It is not the Morse, but the hatred"
I'm not familiar with that wise one. Who is it?
Blackguard Vox Deus
Ah, yes, Darkguard. I've heard him. He hails from the dark side.
He/she has demonstrated
wisdom here.
So has Jim but he is not revered.
Repeatedly.
Repeatedly.
But he has gone over to the dark side also.
He condones K4YZ behavio[u]r.
