The Morse test neither helps nor hinders... It is simply another
barrier to be overcome by the motivated... If it weren't for such barriers we would all have certificates as neurosurgeons... If the feds want to drop CW, fine by me... If you want to discuss it look for me on the bottom end of 160 and 80... denny / k8do |

It keeps out the stupid and lazy. Individuals that really don't what to be hams if it requires knowledge and skill to get a license. BULL****! Code is NOT KNOWLEDGE!!! I have NO problem learning technical info that helps me use the radio properly. Code is not needed to do that. Get off your high-horse already. Make them stay on CB and FRS. They're not an asset to the service. CB and FRS don't have the range. And neither are you. Who the **** are YOU to make such a statement? You snot nosed, arrogant PRICK! You do NOT know the kind of person that I am!! Wake up and smell the cappuccino! Code is obsolete! Knowing code does NOTHING to make somebody an "asset to the service". And, could you explain what makes a person an "asset to the service"? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake? |

Al You probably don't remember your callsign either, or do you prefer using a CB handle? SC I learned sufficient code to gain my upgrade to General in 2005 and passed the written test the same evening. I have no interest in using code further. I may change my mind on that later, but given my advanced years, the point may be moot. My primary interest as a Ham is in fiddling with antennas, only one of the 11 antennas scattered about my 7 acres was purchased. There are 5 at my detached shop/shack and 6 more back at the house to use when I desire air conditioning while pursuing my hobby. Three of these are indoor dipoles for use when bad weather threatens, as it often does here in southern Oklahoma. I hope all you other gentlemen continue to enjoy the access to the Amateur Bands allowed by what ever license class you possess. Harold KD5SAK |
