Why? I assume you really mean that the current crop of new hams needs
education. Have you done anything? How many new hams have you elmered?

Are you active on 2m? Do you speak to new no-code hams and offer to
teach them morse code, let them see your HF station in operation? Have
them assist you during contests?

If all you do is hang out on the HF bands, and complain about how bad
the new hams are, they will stay that way. Whose fault is that?

We don't have to leave or complain if we can improve licensing a little.
That's what's happening here. Striving for quality.

BTW: Stay strong and safe over there. I support you. Don't stop the
mission until the job is done because if you stop early, you'll just have
to deal with the problem again later and it may be even harder and uglier
to do next time. I think most American's support Israel, but you could
never tell that by watching are liberal main stream media.
