Hehe, not to worry, Joe. This is a permanent war zone, and all new
questions are potential battlefields.

Still looking for the basic question of WHEN will licensing restructuring
happen?

I don't know if you saw the poll results posted by Jim N2EY? THe best we
can do is make predictions. I had predicted 2007, or at least 4 years
from the change in the treaty. I might extend that if the republicans
are in power at that time. It isn't a diss, it is just that republican
administrations are *much* less likely to participate in international
treaties.

In fact, I would bet a six pack that as long as we have republicans in
the White House, there is little chance of Element 1 being dropped. Not
because they like Morse code, but because they hate treaties.

Some good advice: Get the license now, regardless of the Morse code
test. the ARS is simply too much FUN to miss time on.
