Hello, Jim

Greetings! Good to hear from you again.

Now, perhaps, everyone can put this code vs no code thing behind us.

Hopefully.

Actually it should come as no surprise. Things have been heading that
way for a long time. Frankly, I'm surprised it has taken so long,
considering that FCC could have done the same thing more than 3 years
ago.

Perhaps, just perhaps, the group can quiet down a bit and get back to
more
serious discussions ...

Perhaps when Paul Schleck's moderated version starts up.

btw, I'm still keeping the "ARS License Numbers" thread going. It will
be interesting to see how the number of current US licenses held by
individuals changes after the new rules go into effect.

The public announcement doesn't say when the new rules will go into
effect, though.

1. Who won the pool?

2. It will be interesting to follow the numbers on the licenses. Please
give consideration to either excluding the Novice license class entirely or
reporting it as a separate item. This puts a different light on the
so-called decline of amateur radio. This group is almost entirely inactive,
not renewing, and not relevant to the growth or decline of amateur radio
anymore.
