Dumbing down licensing will just let in people that really don't want to be hams.

t: Because Ham radio is dying. E V E R Y T H I N G D I E S I also hear the buggy whip industry is doing pretty lousy except in Lancaster, PA. "Douche Bag" wrote in message ups.com... Because Ham radio is dying. If you make it easier, you can attract more losers who may have joined earlier. Shortwave and Ham radio is dead. If you ask the man on the street what AM or FM is? They can answer you ,it"s what the hear on their car radio. The difference is the buttons on the radio. If you ask them what shortwave is? They would not have a ****ing clue. It's DEAD. Get a life.

They are just sad ppl with nothing better to do. Next they will be saying that you should have to pay a monthly fee to use the airwaves... Maybe have a subscription fee, that would stop most of the scum (yeh right) |

The 5 year duration between renewals, the $75/£40 charge or just the general way of applying for it? Im not saying i disagree, just wondering what you meant.. |

Im not saying i disagree, just wondering what you meant.. having to pay to use the ARS freqs might be more of a deterant to those with bad attiudes than a code test not to say it would be a good filter but fee for license with the license fee used for enforcement here in the state the license is free (the tests cost something) and the FCC is always complaining it laks any funding to go after ham violators I suspect you are a brit and so this might escape you I should have been clearer nice to see someone serious paying attention here I had assume the flamers and trolls had driven them off |

I can see your point about the FCC complaints, lack of funding is the usual reason for them not to bother to go after ham violators. If they charged users then they would be able to use that money to go after the retards who clog todays airwaves... And the flamers/trolls havent driven us all off, we just go into hiding until we see something of interest, and just ignore the rest... |
