Slow Code is only here to troll. He's a fan of CW, but not a big
enough fan to actually defent the continued testing of Morse Code with
any valid reasoning.



Here's a valid reason for continued CW testing: To keep lowlifes like you
and Markie out of ham radio and off HF. You're too lazy to try to be
real hams. You see no value in being effective communicators, therefore
you're both worthless to the service and if you had to use CW to save a
life that person would die. You're both probably too lazy to use a
microphone to help save anyone too.

I'd like to see the No-code Tech class go away with a 5 wpm Tech the being
entry level to the service, or bring back a code only Novice class again.
Require 13 wpm code test for general and 20 wpm an Extra again.

People that don't like it should stay on CB. Ten-Four? This should
provide you and Markie a lot to stroke each other with. You both seem to
sing the same tune.

Let Slow Code post, and "john" comes stumbling in while stepping on
his crank, with both cap guns blazing.

It seems to me they want to eliminate all testing.

That's what happens when no-codes and nickle hams start running
things. Or is that ruining things?


Naw, ARRL isn't trying to do that. I haven't seen anything in their
current goals that would lead me to believe that they are trying to
send the rest of our spectrum the way of 11 meters. I may be wrong, but
I don't think the FCC would do that again (if any of the current
commissioners are students of FCC history that is) even if the ARRL
suggested it.

The numbers of Hams out there and how it's been dropping though the
more recent years is an alarming trend. With the age of the average ham
creeping higher, this hobby is set to all but die out in the USA within
a generation unless something changes.


indeed


What an inciteful response (No...I didn't mispell that...Pun
intended...)

Surely you see the problem that the ARRL is trying to address.

honestly I don't think he does
You may
not agree with their suggested solutions, but you'd have to agree that
we have a problem. Right?

He didn't get a response because :

(a) His comments were concise, well written and in proper
English...Traits that make it difficult for YOU to understand or
"respond" to.

(b) Accurate and able to stand on their own merits.
