Well I am finding it hard to understand why everyone is so full of bull****
comments, at the end of the day the new licence structure is here to stay,
and it doesnt matter what you say on hear it aint gonna change it.

I also think that the new structure is the way forward, or at least a way
forward, as it offers newcomers a way into the hobby and lets face it at
the end of the day thats all it is A Hobby.

If the new licence system brings in cbers then so be it, I was on cb before
I was on amateur radio and unlike most of you lot I am not afraid to admit
it, I was also accused of being a pirate when I first got my G6 call
(g6xpj).

The persecution of having a new series of call has obviously not faded since
the 1980's, as it is still happeng today with the m3's.

Think of it this way, we are unprotected and if the number of licenced
amatuershad dropped even more then we may have started to loose frequencies.

Some of them are. I have listened to several M3s on different
occasions talking (bragging) about their activities on 27MHz SSB and
the long distance copies they got.

I had occasion to switch off my eQSO gateway rather quickly this
afternoon when an M3 in this area started telling Michael Jackson
jokes over the air to another M3 in front of a world wide audience.

Both are indicative of the type of people we are now encouraging into
amateur radio.
