Maybe PBS could do a special? Imagine if Ken Burns did a

That could only be good. I've found the stuff done in the past by

Dave

Bell and Roy Neal to be lacking. A good historical narrative
leading to
the present and showing active hams doing what they do would be

nice,

especially if they leave out anyone wearing a tee-shirt or
ballcap except perhaps in a Field Day scene.


Joe Walsh and Patty Loveless....


Perhaps. Also, the "Amateur Radio in the 21st Century"

paper equated

passing the code test with winning the Tour de France
or painting the Mona Lisa,

Wow! now I feel really great about passing!!! ;^)

I never got more of a buzz from passing a morse exam than I did

when

passing a tough chemistry exam. Ah, but passing the entire
exam for
obtaining a license opened a window to the world.


Same here!


Didja read that paper, and my rebuttal?

No.
