Blow Code - your ideas will damn amateur radio and kill it. The ARRL is the
best thing we have and all amateurs should join the organization to help
preserve amateur radio. Forcing CW onto newcomers will only turn them away
from amateur radio since CW is seen by outsiders as old-fashioned and
out-of-date. This is the 21st Century and people do not want to be forced
to learn and use and communication method developed in the 19th Century.
Grow up and face reality. Stop clinging to your old buggy whip communication
methods and get over the fact that amateur radio is changing for the better.
It's going to change with our without you. You can stop change.

1- No more automatic renewals. Individuals must retest and pass all
elements required for their license class every ten years.


2- The passing score for written exams needs to be raised to 85%.


3- Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra.


4- Make the no-code license one year non-renewable.


5- Cancel your ARRL membership until they decide to work to improve
things and stop them from proposing ham radio that is like CB.
