Roger that, Cecil. :-) Way to go...FREEDOM of choice and not
coerced, brainwashed, or anything else by some old men in
Newington. :-)

Len, you used to argue that ham radio would benefit if only the FCC would
let the brilliant RF scientists, engineers and physicists, who only lacked
the ability or desire to learn Morse code, to enter the service. You also
used to argue that the code was a roadblock to younger people entering the
hobby. On the surface, these seemed to be some pretty noble ideals upon
which to take the high road. This is all on the record.

But now it becomes clear that, with the Morse requirement indeed no longer a
low tech obstacle to these high potential contributors, the promises of
these positive outcomes have been pretty much toned down...by about 100%.
Maybe they will happen but probably (I'm sure you agree) things will pretty
much stay the same, other than the rise of another marginal increase in the
lid factor similar towhat we saw on 75m with the advent of the 5wpm
generals.

Now you say it was all only for freedom of choice.

When did your flip turn into a flop? :-))
