I predict, because of this new threat which will disclose the sheer simplicity

surprise us all....

I think a new (re-discovered really) technology will be developed by the hams,
in a joint effort of all classes, to develop and perfect the arcane lost
knowledge of reincarnation.

you are going to have Stevie accsuing you of being me ole boy if you
are not careful

Dead hams will arise from their graves, grab keys and re-new old expired sk
licenses.

Element 1 shall never pass from this earth!

Here's an update on the "when will FCC drop Element 1?" pool.
This means the effective date of the FCC action that completely
eliminates Morse Code testing for any class of amateur radio
license in the USA.

Note how almost everyone's date, including mine, has already
passed:

WA2SI: September 13, 2003 (first prediction)
KF6TPT: September 29, 2003
KC8EPO: December 31, 2003
K2UNK: January 1, 2004 (first prediction)
K2ASP: March 15, 2004
AA2QA: April 1, 2004
N2EY: April 15, 2004
N3KIP: May 1, 2004 (first prediction)
KC8PMX: July 1, 2004
WA2ISE: August 1, 2004
K3LT: September 15, 2004
WK3C: December 30, 2004
N4PGW: May 22, 2005
N8UZE: July 1, 2005
N3KIP: December 31, 2005 (second prediction)
N2EY: March 1, 2006 (second prediction)
KB9RQZ: April 1, 2006
K2UNK: July 1, 2006 (second prediction)
AB2RC: July 1, 2007
KB3EIA: July 5, 2007
W5TIT: June 1, 2008
WA2SI: Complete elimination not within the foreseeable future (second
prediction)

Anybody already on the list want to add a prediction? If so, the
"rolling rule" (thanks Dee, N8UZE) applies:

If your prediction on this list is a year or more in the past, you can
add a new one.

At this point everyone before and including N8UZE can add a new
prediction.

All predictions stay on the list.
