In the 1950s, Sunoco sold only one grade of gasoline, which was supposed to be a "near premium". Its gimmick was that it was dyed blue, whereas other gasolines were yellow to red. In the 1960s, its super-premium was Sunoco 260 from the "custom blend" pump. --- avast! Antivirus: Inbound message clean.

Let's take back ham radio!
So who are you remaining five guys going to talk to?
BTW, I didn't know we lost ham radio and need to take it back. Blow Code, think before you type will you? You spend entirely too much time on the computers. Get on the radio and talk to all the old timers on CW will you? They are lonely and need you there. Slow Code wrote: 1: No more automatic renewals. Individuals must retest and pass all elements required for their license class. 2: The passing score for written exams needs to be raised to 85%. 3: Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra. 4: Make the no-code license one year non-renewable. |

Prior to the opening of the Internet to the public in 1991 the ARRL could retain attornies in DC to promote Hiram Percy's ideals of morsemanship. [paid for by ARRL members] However, no-code-test advocates did manage to get their Petition into the NPRM stage in 1990. That passed into LAW in 1991 and the rabid morsemen have been frothing at the mouth over it ever since. Interestingly enough, the ARRL had to retain a lobbyist organization after the Internet went public...in addition to the law firm on retainer. [also paid for by ARRL members] The competition for the FCC's ear had grown now that amateurs could "talk" to the FCC directly instead of being filtered through the ARRL.

Blow Code is more likely just one of the 'others' under a new pseudonym. Either that or the pro-code-testers are just all parroting the ARRL dicta (or is that "papal encyclical'?) from the Church of St. Hiram in Newington. Blow Code, think before you type will you?

I realy don't thik he can do that he seems to be one of those fellows for whom Narrow Band OOKed RF causes brain problems My take on that is the monotonic beeping did it. :-) Rabid morsemen reject all communications outside of their very tight little RF spectra and sing praises of their very narrowband mental viewpoints. Maybe that's what they think is "intellectualism." :-) Or, it may be some undiscovered malady in their brain which also keeps them from advancing beyond their mental youth. They can't think "outside their box" but then few morsemen can think inside the box containing their radio circuitry. It seems that anything other than their twitching fingers carressing their code keys is some mysterious, alien "force" in those radio boxes, a deep mystery to them. The signs pointing to that are their inability to talk technical other than parroting (again) the ARRL information spoon-fed them. That lack of self- confidence or insecurity may lead to their defensive "we are better than you!" shouting about their beloved psycho-motor skill of morsemanship. Gotta love their LACK of technical details, all the time praising to the skies of their narrowband signals yet an almost utter lack of understanding Shannon's Law, the universal relationship of message rate, random noise, information error, and bandwidth. Maybe they can't THINK faster than 20 to 40 words per minute? :-) US amateur radio appears to be quite alive and well today. That despite the ARRL's insistence that all amateurs should emulate the standards and practices of the 1930s. Instead of trying to take a neutral, hands-off policy on code testing, the ARRL ought to look at itself and the reason they can't get membership from the three-quarters of all amateur licensees in the USA. That majority IS the future of US amateur radio, not the frozen-in-their- youth delusions of some olde-tyme morsemen. |

Did you get tired of playing with your model Cho-Cho trains? You could try stamp collecting for something else to do, but you might not be smart enough to figure out what side of a stamp to lick.
