This whole thread got started when I mentioned
that I was putting together this operation in response to Hans' telling
us about how Amateur radio is being marginalized.

And you presented some very good ideas.

Then it turned into me
trying to tell the group about what we were trying to do amidst a couple
people that don't believe it can be done.

Also a bunch of us who know it can be done and is being done, but who didn't
know much about it until you brought up the idea.


I apologize Brian. Call me incompetent any time you like. It was a
mistake to bring this subject up in here, I'll admit that.

I disagree, Mike. Hans brought up a good *policy* subject, and you continued
the discussion.

I bring my hockey mentality in here most of the time. This was too much
of a crossover into my professional mentality. And it is apparent that
it won't be differentiated.

By whom?

At least W3RV was willing to look at the websites you mentioned, and realizes
it has been done. And while there may be some problems doing it in EPA, the
basic concept is workable.

Len apparently has simply *refused* to even look at the information you
presented.

So I guess it's back to talking about the Morse code test! 8^)

Nobody's done that for a while!
