Found on qrz.com. The ARRL now only wants only no code hams. And as
for the rest of us?

Well, I'm not sure of your point, but from the title of the post, you
seem to be somewhat negative...("ARRL Now Only Wants...")

I don't think that's all they want, but more of a case of that's all
there is, thanks to the FCC. The ARRL is just accepting the reality of
the situation.

1) ANY organization generally wants to preserve itself (Gee, I know this
comes as a big surprise). If due to *FCC* action (beyond the control of
the ARRL), all that there is are new, no-code hams, why shouldn't the
ARRL welcome them?

2) Read point one above again. This was an *FCC action*, beyond the
control of the ARRL; the ARRL can welcome the newbies or put their tail
between their legs and slink off into the night...

3) You ask "What happens to the rest of us?" I am sure the ARRL would be
glad to welcome us as new members and/or keep us as existing members.
Why would you suspect anything different?
