CW as a licenseing requiremtn is on life support and the plug will be

CB has nothing to to do with it

Personally, I would rather have the First Class and Second Class Radio
Telephone back. Thank the broadcasters for lobbying to eliminate that
requirement -- ironic that the industry has been sliding ever since (go
figure) --
and of course -- this happen at the same time that personal computers for
business usage were expanding, LAN for the PCs & cellular telephones
introduced, and AT&T was broken up (1984 Judge Green order). SO -- the
best "talent" left the industry (since the industry no longer wanted to pay
for it).

That's what happens when you lower standards, why hams don't realize that,
I'll never know. Maybe it's just laziness.

Technological progress eliminates the need for operator expertise and
close equipment supervision.

A First Class Licensed Radiotelephone Operator is no longer justified or
needed to constantly supervise a type-accepted broadcast transamitter
designed to only operate when it is operating within the rules (no
challenge with modern technology). A less technically adept person can
tell if operation is normal.

Amateur operation is different. Equipment need not be type-accepted, but
it must adhere to the rules just the same. An amateur operator is
licensed as such and that defines the "amateur radio operator". The
"ham" may or may not be interested in experimentation. The only
requirement is that he not violate the rules.

Difference between amateur and CB radio is CB can be used in business.
Amateur radio cannot.

CW radiotelegraphy was obsolete when radiotelephony appeared. This is
similar to obsolescence of the horse when the motor vehicle appeared.
Communications and transportation have moved on but Morse and horse
fanatics linger.

Amateur radio appliance operators are fine so long as the rules are
enforced. We should seek them and welcome them to the hobby.

I give Honor and Respect to any Amateur Radio {Ham} Operator :
Who has built and uses his own Receiver and CW Transmitter
for regular CW use. I will gladly read their posts and listen to
their arguments as to "Why" CW is important to the ARS.
- BUT - "IF" all they have every done is bought ready-made
equipment and claim that CW is necessary to the ARS
- please don't waste my time.

Construction/design skills and operating skills are two different
things. What does one have to do with the other?

Did you build your own car? Dishwasher? Toaster? Razor?
