On a related question, is it pro coders intention to boycott QSO's
with countries that have already dropped the code requirement for HF
work? Do you guys refuse to talk to Australians now?

In the event they have that country confirmed for DXCC, they will boycott.


I was asking about you guys, not what they will do. Afterall, I've
boycotted General and above for about 9 years now because of
antiquated requirements.

Your loss, dude.

If you wait long enough, the writtens might go away too.

No, the writen exams have a basis in the real world. Code just has
it's basis as a historical antiquity. I'm more than willing to do
whatever is necessary to prove profiency in radio operation.


Hey Carl, here's one of your new guys!

Im sure that this has some type of significance for you, but it's lost
on me.
