I just have to smile a little because while the rest of the amateur
community is on UTC time, this guy is telling everyone to get on the air
at 6 pm. Yep, a real genious.

Let the FCC know that they can no longer keep you from your right to
use the
ten meter band allocation if you are a technician licensee. The
international
requirement for morse code has been removed and there is no such thing
as a
technician plus license.
You don't have to use your identity, but no code technicians need to
finally
speak out to the FCC they will no longer be oppressed by rules designed
for the
stone age of electronic technology.
Get on the air at 6pm local time on August 1st or if the band is open
any time
to make contacts in the 28.300-28.500 MHz that is allocated to
technicians for
voice. Or if you have a computer you can use the allocated technician CW
bands
to send and receive morse code.
Currently the FCC and ARRL want to drag this morse code requirement out
for
one or two years while they put BPL and other technology on the fast
track. I
will be on the air and I hope 10,000 or more no code technicians will
join me.
I guess Hollingsworth will have to require 10,000 people to turn in
their CW
proficiency certificate if YOU will join us.
The morse code game is over and I'm not driving 55 when the speed limit
is
really 70 mph and the government hasn't changed the signs yet. Just go
by the
limitation of your technician license and don't go overboard, we want to
show
that just because we didn't pass some dinosaur morse code test that we
are bad
operators.
Get on 28.306 USB at 6 PM local time to talk with other no code tech's
that
are protesting the FCC and ARRL stupidity.
