Put your butt in a car, drive over to your local college and have a chat with
an electronics engineer professor there and the students--then perhaps you
will realize we who know are looking at you like some crazed manic reciting a
ridiculous mantra about code not being a hindrance and the real reason amateur
radio is dying...


John,

You're new around here, so I'll bring you up to date. I am a long time member
of NCI, and I do not support continuation of the Morse test, so spare your
jeremiads about "you guys don't care" for someone else.

Since we're all having a heart to hear here....

I guess I should note that I do not use Morse code (even though I
support the testing) at all.

So much for typecasting at least you and me, eh?

I guess I might also note that I make my coin in digital imagery. We
would love it if a person came up with a method of transferring decent
size, decent fidelity pictures in reasonable amount of time using a
small bandwidth. At HF frequencies.....


Having said that, your characterization of Len as a "man before his time" is the
most laughable miscasting since someone suggested John Wayne play the part of a
queer hairdessser in a movie about the old west.

But it makes for interesting reading 8^)
