The test will continue to dumb down because ham radio is dying. There's a
new radio game in town, its called cell phone. Like it or not anyone can get
a license to use them.

I've been in ham radio for over 30 years. The same discussion is going on
today as was when I first started. It has never been settled and never will
to satisfy all. Equipment prices will skyrocket as the number of hams
continues to decline. In fact they already have. I laugh when I see radio's
like an IC-706 that someone is trying to sell on Ebay for $900 plus when
only a few years ago new ones were being had at Hamvention under $600. Radio
is dying folks enjoy it while the government allows us to have it. There is
no "use" for all the Techs anymore.Allthis brainpower should be put together
to find a use for your existence instead of continually hashing the same old
dead beaten horse.

I just wish all you people would take a stand against dumbing things
down any further. If it continues, it going to make hams irrelevant and
our bands will sound like CB.

Right now, CB is totally dead. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

Behavior like yours will push ham that way too. Who wants to be
associated with the likes of you?


Everyone that desires to be a good ham and valuable asset to the radio
service and to their country do.

Now how's your CW practice coming along? Are you practicing or did you
decide to pack it in and just talk on a mic like other lazy KKKanadians.
Eh?
