Could have years ago Steve but the interest wasn't there. My mate John
WB2ISI, who has since passed away, kept busting my balls, between beers
I might add, about getting the ticket. Listening to the holier than thou
operators I couldn't see a reason to bother. I'll yak with some op's up
in Connecticut, chew the fat with the ol' man in NC or DX on 11 meters.

BTW, Happy Holidays to you and the missus.

Thanks buddy, send me an email when you get the chance.

I'm the same way with it, couldn't care less. It might help explain some of
the gear I have plugged in if Charlie ever knocked tho....:P

Stand by for the asshole stampede

That already happened when they let in hams who passed the morse code
test who don't want anyone else in there except for their oiwn little
clique, and make up phony ham tests andd phony answers for anyone else
wanting to become a ham and flunk them so they can't pass the test
whether or not they got the answers correct.

I now think the dropping of the morse code requirement will bring more
civility to the ham bands. And even if it doesn't, then good. They (the
hams) deserve it to happen. Since they're the ones who are so uncivil.

With more people joining it, then maybe the uncivil hams won't be able
to prevent knowledgable operators from joining it just because they
don't want them in their little clique or just because they think
"his face is too ugly" or "I don't like the color of his hair:" , or "I
don't like the color of his skin" or whatever other such reasoning for
keeping knowledgable operaters who answered questions correctly out by
marking the correct answers as wrong and telling them they flunked.
