Man you got that right Mike. It was that way, decades ago. The
extra
used
to mean something. Now it means squat.

Don't believe me? Look at the before and after code gutting. I was
going
to get a fancy 1X2 years ago. Glad I didn't now.

All the 1x2 sequentially assigned calls were gone long before the 20wpm
code
was dropped.

The real observation here is to note a complaint about extra class hams
not
knowing
what the length of a 1/2 wave dipole was on a given frequency; has nothing
to do
with sending and recieving morse code skill.

Kinda showed your colors there.

Let me clear up the fog for you Clint. My point is the Extra ain't worth a
damn any more.
