Not me. Jim/N2EY is the one who trotted out that strawman. I guess if
he can't have amateur radio the way he wants it, he'll make sure it
becomes a non-technical hobby.


Then let's kick the code requirement back up to somewhere between 13
and 20 WPM for all license classes. Then, even if you're not a technical
ham you at least have a skill.
