PS what is echolink? That takes all the fun out of a contact... What difference does it make if a person who pays taxes to support an organization(FCC), doesnt know a tube from a transistor. Why shouldnt they have equal access to the privilages. Most buy an appliance and start putting it to use. You dont need a license to build. There is so much garbage on the air now it wouldnt matter how clean the signal was. Things mutate with time. I have experienced 49 years of ham radio and 99 percent of what i did didnt require a license. Pressing the mic button did, plus being considerate, respectful, and helpful after pressing the button.
