Well the guide to Amateur Radio newsgroups at URL:

http://faqs.jmas.co.jp/FAQs/radio/personal-intro
Sez

The group rec.radio.amateur.policy was created as a place for all the
discussions that seem to drag on interminably about the many rules,
regulations, legalities, and policies that surround amateur radio, both
existing and proposed. Recent changes to the Amateur Radio Rules (FCC
Part 97) have finally laid to rest the Great Usenet Pizza Autopatch Debate
- it's now legal to order a pizza on the autopatch, if you're not in the
pizza business - as well as complaints about now-preempted local scanner
laws hostile to amateurs, but plenty of discussion about what a bunch of
rotten no-goodniks the local frequency coordinating body is, as well as
the neverending no-code debate, may still be found here.

Some of you have turned it into "a Morse/CW debate newsgroup" exclusively.

Hiker rescue has legal issues as a ham in california found out when he
called in on an Authority frequency with a modified HT.
Rescue was performed, but his HT was confiscated!

Why bring up the CW debate, Th e story had nothing to due with the pros

or cons
of CW . I have not been reading these news groups for a while for just

this
reason. All any of you can talk or fight about is CW. If you Kim are so
concered with CW just start another CW thread. You are like a two year

old
fighting for the shovle in a sand box. Give it a rest.


There is no rest. This is a Morse/CW debate newsgroup. I could
suggest alt.survival if you want rescue stories.
