The thing about it is they still use 11 meters as much as they use
any of those bands. You do too, right?

Remember the guy I bought my Icom from? He told me that the biggest
offenders in radio are extra class hams.

I think this is a great thing for ham radio. You can now get some new
blood into this hobby.

You're probably right, it should make it easier for the no codes to gain
more HF privilege but that doesn't blow my hair back either. I may end
up there after I pass 50, or not. I'm happy with my little shot down CB
so far.

btw..i remember who you bought your radio from man.

I'm telling you, With 75M, I can talk to you all the time. Take the
practice tests on eham.net. You'll pass them easily.

I'm not worried about passing the no code test, and we have each others
land line in case it's really pressing, right?

Get ready to hear me on 11M in your hometown as the band opens up. If you
don't hear me directly, you'll hear people calling out my name. g

I'm getting ready for it again, because the last time was so much fun.
