good people out of ham radio?"]

In other words, Len, you want to tell us what we should like and what

You are in ERROR. I wasn't writing "other words." If I
wanted to write "other words," I would have written other
words.
My advocacy is to elimintate the code test for an FCC
amateur radio operators license.
Do you spend all your time TAKING TESTS?
If so, what have you done to require taking tests all the time?
If not, why are you so concerned about OTHERS taking code
tests?
If morse code radiotelegraphy is so wonderful, great, noble,
"saves lives [not really]," traditional-that-all-MUST-take
one, then what are you upset about? If it is that "good,"
then all will flock to it in great numbers.
NOT having a code test does NOT require ANYONE to "do"
something as in having to take a code test. They cannot
"do" something that isn't there to DO.
Are you upset that OTHERS who come later will not do as you
did? Why is what you HAD to do required of all OTHERS?
What is wrong with live and let live?
