Where will you CW'rs go when the NO-CODERS arrive?
 

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!!!

Where will we go?

We'll still be able to run code where we do now, and will. If the
phonies don't like it, they can move down the band where they belong. ;-)

Dear Mr. George Bush,

How are you going to determin, if someone did take the CW-test to get the
licence?
Doing like you announced will be a violation of the international Amateur
Radio Rules.
Are you going to make no more QSO with hams outside US? Are you going to
make QSO only with hams they gave you proof of their CW-examination?
Even from today on, you never can tell, if somone one the HF Bands did take
the CW-Test. HF is not only for american hams. The majority of the entire
ham radio world voted to drop the CW-requirement for getting access to
frequencies below 30MHz at the WRC 2003 at Genever, and the american
communications commission did as well.

I've got my license in 1990, and had to go the full way, 60 signs per
minute, the standart in Europe. Now it is allowed to get the same licence
called CEPT without CW-test. Nobody over here in Europe is angry against
them who will get the ability to work on the HF-bands now. We welcome them
and will help them to get used to the new spectrum.

What will you do, if you meet one of those GB, PA, HB9, OE, DL, VK and so
on, just to name a few, on the portion of the band, which you call
EXTRA-allocation-subband?

Please specify, and give a full answer.

Thank you, Mr. George Bush, WA3MOJ

Ok, at the time I am a no-code tech but I am working on getting my CW so I
can advance to General. I would prefer to go the "Old School" route as the
people who got me into it also did. I think my 12 year old son is even
challenging me on the CW. If I get it and my general, he goes and gets his
tech. I got news for him. He'd better get ready for the CW cause when I
take it, I am also going to take the Extra class in the same session so he
had better get ready to go General pretty quick (laughing).

On the other hand, I think that it is good that they are trying to make
the hobby more attractive so that more might get into it.

As a result, I do think that more "self-policing" should be practiced as
in every crowd, you have a bad element.

I too would like the Old School approach, hence my name here. There
isnt much for VE testing in my area and it conflicts with my schedule
when one is in town. Therefore I have to work while I wait for the
oppertunity to get the time. Thats good you have someone to work with
as well. Not much here locally in the means of Amateurs on any band HF
or VHF/UHF. I wish you and your son luck on the tests.

It is a well known fact that there is at least one other amateur in
the area of an offending user. All it takes is some effort to protect
it. It isnt that hard to report someone. I dont like being called a
knarc, but damnit if someone is going to risk me losing my priviliges
for there actions.

You are a perfect example of the class of people that will be found on a

gratification. No class like CB'ers

Odds are it will take the FCC about 2 years to make any changes (if they
make any changes). If you practice 30 minutes per day using the free G4FON
software, you should be ready to take the code test in about 2 months.

I'm an idiot

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.

nothing could be farther from the truth.

There are two types of people in this world, my friend: those who agree
with you, and those who just don't care.

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 :)

Design a good enough RIT? Sounds like you don't even know what one
is.

I agree totally. I am really looking foreword to getting my general. I
don't mind the work of learning CW. I have both the G4FON and CodeQuick. I
highly recommend the G4FON. I do use the CodeQuick if I find myself getting
stuck or mixing up close or opposite sounds. I think that code should be
required for the HF licenses. At 5WPM the people that really want it will
work for it. If the ARRL does get the license changed so no-code gets some
HF privileges, so be it. As long as folks stay where they belong in the
band, things should still go ok. Its those select few that can screw it up.
If you don't want to learn code, fine. But stay where you belong. As for me,
it will be fun to know the code. I have a nephew that is wanting to learn it
is well. He is currently studying for his tech license and will be joining
me soon after that when he learns the code as well. This is a fun hobby.
Its great to meet the people, talk to the older folks who started this out,
and talk to others just getting into it as I am. Please don't wreck it for
us newbies.

I applaud you for wanting to do it the old school way. Nothing wrong
with that. I want to as well, but time doesnt allow that for me unless
I get time soon.



Odds are it will take the FCC about 2 years to make any changes (if they
make any changes). If you practice 30 minutes per day using the free
G4FON
software, you should be ready to take the code test in about 2 months.
