I was a no-coder for 14 years, and I didn't like it!

With the whole spectrum of activities, and you still didn't like amateur radio?
Not enough technical areas in amateur radio to interest you? You're not a radio
amateur, youre an only-coder - someone that only likes code.

SO WHAT...?!?!

If that's what he likes, and that's what it takes to make him
happy, who are you (or anyone else for that matter) to berate him for
it? What part of Part 97 says we MUST do other activites?

A no-coder stirred me up about 13 years ago, and I've been
stirred up about trying to make people see the stupidity of whining about
code testing ever since.

You only see the world as no-coders or coders. There's more to amateur radio
than that.

Vipul, YOU'RE PRECIOUS! Only a month ago you were completely
opposite. What generated the change?

People are not missing anything by not upgrading, if the upgraded privileges
don't provide anything more they wish.

Well, that's *your* excuse. It seems to be working for you. Hold on
to it, it's all you've got.

Like I said, there are many possible activites to participate in. If all you
see is CW HF, then thats all you've got.

But in hundreds and hundreds of posts, Vipul, you've said just
the opposite...As a matter of fact, you have LAMENTED the lack of
activities or opportunities in Amateur Radio. Myself and others have
been telling you otherwise but you insisted that Amateur activities
were (in your opinion) limited to two or three specific activities.

Finally wake up and smell the coffee?

BTW, Larry has frequently mentioned several other data/digital
modes he utilizes. Why do you avoid addressing/accepting this?
