BTW, I didn't know we lost ham radio and need to take it back. his idealogy lostcotrol of Ham Radio completely about 20 years ago with the introduction of the No Code license Actually 16 years ago (1990) but the movement to end the morse code testing for AMATEURS had begun much earlier than that. 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. Rightly so since the ARRL membership has never been more than a quarter of all licensed US radio amateurs.

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.

You would probably whine that the little boxes where you paste the stamps are too small and you won't go any further until the post office makes bigger boxes, and that the problem is the big stamp collectors want stamp collecting to be like a frat house and squeeze out the little guy.

they have failed to adapt and change with the time and thus lostthe the
place of the ARS in techinical inovation (wether that can be regained I don't know) the have lost control of the ARS now. sadly the Nocoders have not manged to fully grab control either BH Received my License in 1977. Funny I don't feel like I've lost anything, I've gained a lot since I started, but haven't lost (well maybe the 220mhz theft by lying scum of UPS but that's another story) Scotty W7PSK |
