Filling out an application? Memorizing enough answers to just pass the written exam? exactly the same way you did by passing the tests required at the time There's a difference between earning and being able to get with no effort. I spent plenty of effort overthe years The no-code license was a bad idea to begin with anyway. perhaps it was (I don't agree it was but I will grant it might be) but it is 20 years too late for that discussion It's never too late to correct a mistake. if it were a mistake the only bigger mistake would be to elimate half of the curent numbers of licensees That you have an opinion doesn't make the opinion something that should be government policy. sure thing you do the same Who do you think you are, Bush? (Oh, forget that - his opinion isn't worth as much as yours.) never said d thtat either but in any case the FCC will never take my prevledges thay have made that clear Right - the government NEVER changes anything. Are you really that naive? never no not soon yes accordingly you need to learn to deal with what is instaned of trying to overturn history I have nothing to deal with - I'm licensed, and could keep my license if they made 20 wpm, or digital mode testing, a yearly requirement. yes you wold have to deal with thresult of ruining the ARS The biggest problem would be freeing up a day to get to wherever the test was being given. and having any freqs left to operate on Acualy I could have gotten one It was you who said, "I having never been able to passa code test", so you couldn't have. you spoke too soon No, you could have stolen a license - you couldn't have been licensed. no I could have aloowed other to There's a difference. Robbing a bank isn't earning a salary. lots of differences but at least I am in touch with the real world That's not passing, that's cheating. If you're old enough to go to school you're old enough to know the difference. so it is cheating it still is obtaining a license That's about what it's come to these days, isn't it? that offer was 30 years ago but you clearly hate what the ARS is If he hated it he wouldn't care what it's become. he hates the ARS today his manner makes that plain He cares because he DOESN'T hate it. no he thinks or igmagine he can hijack it It's BEEN hijacked - he's trying to get it back. if it was hijackewd that was 26 years ago theat service does not exist anymore and you would enact a sytem that would kill they ARS as it is if you had the power There were plenty of hams when 13 wpm was the entry level. A 5 wpm code test and a *real* written test wouldn't kill it, it would just separate those who are willing to do what it takes to be hams from those who just want the license without the work. maybe nut the current entry rates sugest otherwise Correlation isn't cause. but it does relate to results and He does not propose 5wpm and writeen test he prososes 13 wpm and a total lack of an effective entry class and elimiating half the current licees and likely a lot more than that Oh, you mean the way it used to be, when there were plenty of hams. vs the the preusre exerted for our bands and any "paln" that involves dumping 300,000 hams right of the bat is pretty going to finish off the ARS Seems to me we had a pretty good ARS when we only has 100,000 hams. If dumping 300,000 means losing half, it means having 3 times the number we used to have. How is tripling "finishing off"? becuase it would be halfing not triplling and to assume it is only halfing is generous many of the current generald and extra would be weed out withon 10 years if ham radio looks like it it is dying we will loose oour bands to anyone that wants em indded a likely result would losing many of ou r hf bands bands to literaly an extpanded CB service our vhf and up would be savaged and we would be powerless to resist |
