Do Hams get 11 Meters Back, as soon as all the CBers upgrade to there
Free Handout Ham Licenses?

There has been a free ham license ever since the codeless tech was
introduced a few years back. The 5 wpm code requirement has further
moved things in that direction. Idiots on the ham bands.

11 meters has come to the ham bands. I listen to the bands and it's
certainly not the way things were in the 1980's when I got licenced. I
might as well just listen to CB channel 19, it all sounds the same now.

ARRL plan back fired on them. They worked to dumb things done in order
to produce more licensee's who might join the organization and fill the
corporate bank accounts, but instead, they got a bunch of idiots who
don't care bacause getting a license is easy now and when you don't have
to work to get the benefits, the benefits you get don't mean a whole lot.

All real hams out there who remember how the bands used to be, send the
ARRL a nasty-gram and cancel your League memberships. They screwed us
over big time by not protecting the integrity of the Amateur radio
Service.

No Code.... No Ham!
