I have an idea. This should thin the ranks of amateurs and let Big Brother
have the bands as is desired. We all know the FCC wants to sell the bands to
the highest bidder. In addition to the code requirement, lets have
proficiency testing in SSB, FM, RTTY, PSK-31 and Packet. That should just
about kill the code proponents off, as they are mostly too old, addled, and
unable to learn. That way, even they won't be able to use *their* bands
without these proficiencies.

Sounds like a plan, eh?

And just who do you think developed these modes? How new do you think these
modes are? It seems like everyone I contact on the "new" mode of PSK31 is
retired and has been for many years.

retired and have been for years

went to our Radio meeting tues night and a talk was given on the "New"
mode PSK-31

I could go for that.

The more testing, the better. Then outsiders would look at the amateur
radio service and see valuable and capable operators, they would see our
spectrum wasn't being wasted by people that only know how to talk into a
microphone to communicate.

Thanks. :-) Great idea.
