Top nations that fund UN treasury,
in descending order...

United States: 22%
Japan: 19.6%
Germany: 9.8%
France: 6.5%
UK: 5.6%
Italy 5.1%
Canada: 2.6%
Spain: 2.5%

Russia isn't even in this top 8 list.
France, Russia and Germany, COMBINED,
do not contribute as much to the UN as
does the United States......

Nice concept on paper, but in the real world... Quite frankly, what
example
has NCI given to the prospective ham? It sure doesn't exemplify the values
of a "self-starter."

so where is it written, and what proof is there, that ONLY cw training
is exemplifies one as being "a self starter"? Would you say that means
all the other fields of studies and all the other areas of discipline are
full of "non starters" because CW isn't part of the agenda?

just the idea of getting into ham radio, studying to pass the exames
and learning to put together a station is, in and of itself, an example
of a self-starter, since on only the will and love of the hobby drove
the person to do it. They didn't HAVE to for any reason.



Couldn't care how slow...as long as said CW/Data sub-bands remain intact.


hm, now how ODD... a certain OTHER PCTA type in this very thread
told me that here "is not a CW portion of any band, there never has
been"....
are you saying there are, and there HAS been? *GASP*
