Nah, if ya can't beat 'em join 'em.... Help us out, we're making a Comm-Post
pile!

And my answer is this:

If someone took ham radio, let 'em have it. Fighting to get it back is like
fighting over a turd in the sewer.
Just enjoy what you have, and float on down the river, to your Cajun
hideaway.....

OK.... taking a poll....

By replying only in CW, either text dit-dah, or periods and hyphens......

How many people actually read that, and what is your analysis of the report?

I am running a script to see how long it takes you to click reply, enter
your response,
then click send. Your effective scaled-score code speed will be calculated
from those particular
clicks, along with the character count of the message. You will be made fun
of, according to your
CW speed. Anyone less than 24wpm will be required to take the new FCC
remedial code speed

Gentlemen, gud luck.

Amateur radio is in decline and you think putting Morse code back in as
a requirement would help?

Bwhahahahaha.
