Improving your skills doesn't make you a better operator? Sheeesh.

Mike, skill. Singular. There is no skill test for any other mode.

You can still have your microphone, but you should have to pass a
code test before you're allowed to use it. I like 5 WPM for Tech,
13 for General, and 20wpm for Extra, but then, I'm not lazy.

You may not be lazy, but you're fully prepared to kill off amateur
radio with archaic requirements. I guess if you can't have the
amateur radio the way you want it, to hell with it all.

We have to dumb it down to keep it from dying?

SC

We have to remove unnecessary and superfluous licensing requirements.



I expect you'll say the same thing about the written exam in ten years too.
