A lack of enforcement is a lack of enforcement, and a Morse Code Exam
CANNOT be used as a substitute.


If you recall, I've never been the one to claim it is any type of filter
etc. I simply think it is one of the basics and for that reason believe a
basic requirement is suitable.

and there of course you are plain wrong

Neither Morse code nor cw has been truly basic to Ham radio at any time
in our history in making this statement you spout bogus propaganda

Morse Code has NOTHING whatever to do with radio it just so happens to
exist and was apllied to first spark (which sure isn't CW) as it was
applied to various wired aplication

indeed the Morse Code test know even prove one can use Morse Code (as
can be seen by skimming the threads bashing newbie code users on QRZ)

indeed with you Dee we have a clear case of the dmage done the ARS by
Code testing

we have an extra class our most tested therefore in theory our most
knowledgable class of hma making down right stupid statement about what
Ham radio is

now it isn't entirely her fault of course she is product of th e system
foisted on one by the FCC allowing the ARRL to decide what we needed to
be real hams

it is rather like the case in B5 of Akara 7 where the leader fed
propagnad about what made a real Akaran to leath weapons and turned
them loose during an invasion the result was the they repelled the in
vasion and killed off all of the inhabitants of Akara 7 as well
