Well I for one have a set of WARC, W5YI, and ARRL VEC badges for sale. I
certainly will not put my signature on your No-code HF license son!!!!

Where will I go now? Well I thought about bailing out altogether. I sold
all my radio equipment and for about a year now, I went silent. But I
decided to get back to my roots and I started designing and building a few
QRP rigs and even a 50 watt kicker! I have now "RE-DONE" my shack with
something you will never be able to do son, homemade equipment! Only thing
in it that is "storebought" is my 1931 key

Oh you can screw up the bands for a while and just like CB drive everyone
nuts, but the new will wear off and there will be a glut of HF gear on the
market in a few years. Those who put nothing in will soon get bored and
bail out.

You will find me where you cannot go! I will be that faint, almost
imperceptible little sound way back there in the back, talking across the
globe on 1 watt on my homebrew antennas and transmitters There will be
no nocoders in my world son I have the ability to design a good enough
RIT and crystal filter to tune you right out LMAO!

And when you have a question or your radio breaks or something doesn't work,
I will be the one who charges you an arm and a leg to fix it ROTFLMAO! And
when you get ready to work "groundwave", I will be glad to tell you how deep
you have to bury your antenna You think having enough money to buy a
radio makes you a ham? LOL, nothing could be farther from the truth.

Where will you Pro-Coders go now? I have a feeling that all you
against NO-CODE HF will like the new move. You may not like it now,
but you will. If not, will you give up on Amateur Radio like several
have stated they resigned there ARRL commission? There is no proof
that anyone has resigned there ARRL Membership! Was it all talk and no
action? You Pro-Coders are full of it and you know it. If it becomes a
reality, I will be one of many who will get a membership with the ARRL
to take the place of the grumpy old men. 55 years of age and older as
the ARRL reported, so good bye!!!
