Tsk. Heil NEEDS to work on his PEOPLE SKILLS.

I am a professional in the electronics industry (that
includes radio) who is only retired from regular working
hours. My advocacy is only for elimination of the manual
radiotelegraphy test from US amateur radio regulations.

You need to take a look at what YOUR personal motives
are in taking it so hard about those of us who seek
removal of the code test. Several possibilities exist
the

1. You are just a Code Bigot. Bigots always
approve actions of similar bigotry in others.

2. You are a control freak determined to make
all obey YOUR commands.

3. You cannot understand that manual morse code is
a dead or dying mode in ALL radio services; there
is NO need to keep the manual morse test to
provide a "pool" of trained morsemen for the
national interest.

4. You are scared that removal of the code test
will end your bragging rights, of self-defined
"importance" of rank-title-status-privilege
based largely on morsemanship.

5. You are an elitist snob who has the "deep
insecurity" of NEEDING rank-status-title
to make you appear "better" than others.

6. You are a supreme egotist, judging all on your
accomplishments and denigrating those of others.

You fill at least one of those 6 things above,
possibly several; irrelevant and a detail as to
which but your actions DO show fitting at least one
of them. You have to understand that there are a
great number of other citizens who also wish the code
test removal. You have to understand that such
a position is NOT some idiotic moral imperfection
but rather a reasonable opinion based on the
advancement of technology of all radio by this
first decade of the new millennium.
