Yet he claims to have "very conservative values". He also believes that hamfests should carry more non-amateur radio related things, like old movie VCR tapes and Glenn Miller recordings. He refuses to attend any amateur radio club meeting or gathering. He wanted to have a non-amateur radio related picnic gathering of radio amateurs on the Saturday of Field Day. Nobody around here considers him to be a ham. We consider him to be a "CB-Plus". |

Jack 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 Enzyte Exam for phallic phlops. Gentlemen, gud luck. rb "Travis Jordan" wrote in message . ..

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. |
