After this period of time, the F.C.C. should evaluate the usage of the
amateur spectrum. If it's not getting suitable usage, then auction
the spectrum off to the highest bidder. Put it to GOOD use. That
ought to help pay for the Social Security for the old white men that
think CW is better than sex. (Not that they even remember that
anymore.)


Ah yes, Nothing like throwing out a red herring to try to throw the
subject matter to something completely un-related. Get the old fear
factor running as if the code requirement and band assignment are
related. Yes sir. Lots of clear thinking there. If you can't
logically attack the argument then throw up a completely unrelated
subject and attack it.

The Amateur Radio Service is not an Internet chat room for all, nor
is it a CB band for the technologically unskilled. It is an earned
privilege for those who are willing to become skilled radio
technicians. Those that are not willing to become skilled radio
technicians do not belong on the ham band. They belong on the CB
band. That is what the CB band is for; non-technical people who like
to use an appliance that somebody else built and somebody else
repaired.
