Dannie Boy, the supposed "CW GOD" ranted:
Return everyone back to NOVICE, CW only on 80, 40, 15 meters. Allow ONLY
EXTRA CLASS present holders that have passed the 20 WPM test to
operate the rest of HF.

And re-test Extras every 2 years...2 years w/o privileges if they don't pass a
250 question test and 20WPM...and drop 'em to Novice if they're caught cussing
on the band...or pull their ticket. THAT will open up some of the bands!

Humph..think I'll stay on 6M CW/SSB....seems like a better class of folks up
there.

Besides, if Dannie Boy's solution went into effect, we'd HAVE no Amateur
Service. This is EXACTLY what some in the FCC would like to
accomplish.....they could then sell off the rest of the freq. spectrum. Big $$
in their pockets!
