The problem with many (not all) ham radio operators is that they
think they own the frequencies assigned to them and they have a
"right" to use them.

Neither is true!

K1MAN does it he's a jammer and a lid.

W1AW does it it's a service to the amateur radio community.

Hams are hypocrites, just little whiners who got their asses kick
at school everyday now they think they're something.



Hams like to whine & cry.
To wit:

-A.M. guys whined & cried about how sideband was the ruin of ham
radio. -Incentive licensing ruined ham radio.
-No code licenses will ruin ham radio.
-ARRL is ruining ham radio.
-KV4FZ will ruin ham radio.
-K1MAN will ruin ham radio.
-(this space reserved for future whining & crying.)

This whole thread so far seems like a troll, but if it is it's not
really working, because you're right.

There is a large contingent of hams who don't want anything to change,
ever. For a technology based hobby that's a seriously weird POV, as
the whole basis of technology is change itself. Change is as
inevitable as death and taxes.

FWIW, I have no problem with K1MAN, as I don't see much difference
between his bulletins and those of W1AW. The only differences are of
the same order as those between, say, ABC and CBS. The remedy is also
the same, i.e. if you don't like one or the other, change the
channel/frequency.

The international requirement for a code test had a beginning and an
end. It began in 1927, and ended in 2003. It wasn't there at the
beginning of the hobby, and it's not there now. It's a pity that the
FCC will take so long to do anything about it, but they will.
Hopefully then this issue will go the same way as spark and AM.

The issue can't go the same as spark and AM as these two activities
went different directions. Spark is simply not allowed due to the fact
that it chews up so much spectrum. On the other hand AM is still
allowed and has developed into a niche subhobby of ham radio. While
the code test may go away, I doubt if code will be forbidden. And due
to its usefulness, it's unlikely to descend to the small niche that AM
has.

I could see it one day becoming as much of a niche as AM. There are many
other telegraphy modes in use.
