When your "definifations" mean something other than what is commonly
accepted, you make it impossible to communicate with others. Of course
you've pretty much done that with your misspellings and grammatical
abortions.


only to narrow minded people that everything spoon fed to them

Gee, Mark, don't you get it? You are one of the narrow minded people
who wants to be spoon fed. You want amateur radio to be easier in order


No not at all, I want the ARs to respect the liberites of all Americans
myself included

Manure! Nothing in amateur radio takes away any of the "liberites"
granted by the Constitution.


the code test does indeed do so

As with any number of things of late, you're simply wrong.

IYO opinion

doesn't make it so

Here's a plain, simple fact: The license requirements are
determined almost entirely by someone's opinion.

For example, why is the written test for Extra 50 questions
rather than, say, 100? Or 25?

For that matter, why do Advanceds an Generals have to take the
same test to upgrade to Extra?

The Advanced and Extra licenses don't add any bands, modes or
power level to General privileges. Why is more testing required
for those licenses?

Etc.

In all cases the reason is the same: FCC's opinion says it's
a good idea.

you want to deprive american of their rights if they don't jump though
the same hoops you did

You have no Constitutional right to an amateur radio license.


I have a right to anything not denied to me by the constition of the
USa unless regulated by treaty since the constitution of the US and the
treaties we sign are the supreme law of the land

An amateur radio license is a privilige, not a right.

Oh, you have a right to attempt to pass an amateur radio exam but you
aren't guaranteed success.

Exactly.

The "constition" doesn't address or regulate
motor car licensing but you still have to pass a test in order to obtain
a driving license. It can be revoked by your state or denied if you
have a medical or mental condition rendering you a hazard to others.
Deal with the fact that you don't a right to something simply because
you want to do it.

But to use your analogy I am propected from making me take
a test on the use of the Buggy whip in order to drive

That's true - but buggy whips aren't used much on the roads of
America by people driving cars. Morse Code is very extensively
used on the MF/HF amateur bands by radio amateurs operating
amateur radio stations.

The "buggy whip" argument just doesn't hold up. A more valid
argument would be that you don't want to have to answer
questions on driving at night, because you only intend to
drive in the daytime, nor questions on driving in ice and
snow because you live in a place that rarely if ever has
those weather conditions.

Nothing in the Consittution allows the FCC to cintinue codetesting ,
and nothing in the treaty gives it that power there the power does not
exist in law

Nothing in the U.S. Constitution prevents the FCC from administering a
morse code test for amateur radio licensing. You have no right to an
amateur radio license.

Nothing gives it he power to impose an uneeded test

Whether a test is "needed" or "unneeded" is a matter of
opinion. Nothing more or less.

I have a right to a fair test

That's true. "A fair test" means that everyone applying for
a license at a particular time has to meet the same basic
test requirements.

IOW, if someone has a Ph.D in EE, or is a member of some
organization or other, they don't get a pass on the exam.

I opose hazing ritual frat boy rituals for access to the public
airwaves

I opossum your view.


and the Constitution of the US

Okay, I opossum the Constitution.

You support frat boy ****
and don't bother to use language as you
demand I do

Your example is not one to be emulated.

to accomodate you. You want explanations about 5 MHz modes to be in


No I want people to answer questions aksed instaed of droning on about
irelavant garbage

Sounds like "internet disease" to me - the desire to have
everything spelled out in custom-made explanations rather
than having to look anything up or exert some mental
effort to understand the available information.

The refusal to use a spellchecker when one is obviouslysorely needed is
a clear symptom.

Everything you needed for an answer was right before you--spelled out.
That, of course, might have been the problem. Next time, ask Hans for
the aural version.


not it wasn't

Yes, Mark, it was. Your repeated denials of reality are just making you
look stupid.

He did not answer the question of wether CW was premitted

Yes, he did. By direct quote of the relevant sections of
Part 97.

If you won't make the effort to use correct grammar, spelling,
punctuation and capitalization, why should anyone make the
effort to answer your questions?

If you won't make the effort to look up the relevant rules and
understand them, why should anyone make the
effort to answer your questions?
