Don't bother disagreeing with me; it is the
large subset of the amateur base that you have to convince and,
unfortunately, that will take a while to change IF it ever does change.

And when you're all dead, nobody will remember you, or if they do
they'll laugh their asses off.

So you depend upon some sort of massive die-off to validate your license
class?

Its in the cards. The ARS hasn't enlisted young people in numbers
since the 60's. The die-off is coming.- Hide quoted text -

That's what the hams get for trying to keep everyone else out of it
for so long, even when they knew radio theory, and for trying to keep
it their own little exclusive club wher only a very few people are
members, even though they don't know a thing about radio theory.

Keep people out for decades.

No one was kept out. They kept themselves out through their refusal to learn the
code

wrong. I studied for the code and written test. They kept me and
others out by giving required to get your ham liscence phony ham tests
in addition to the real test, claiming it was also part of the real
test, marking correct answers wrong, and then claiming that wrong
answers were the correct answers.

question "What does ATV stand for as relating to amateur radio?"

My answer: "ATV stands for amateur tv, also known as ham tv"

They marked it wrong and then told me that "the correct answer is an
All-Terrain Vehhicle that is equipped with an amateur radio set. There
is't any such thing as amateur tv or ham tv.

THAT IS purposely keeping people out.

If that was the case (though I doubt it), all you had to do was test elsewhere.

Personally, I think you're just a crybaby.
