What is the ARRL's thought on having good amateurs?
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? SC |

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. Surely you see the problem that the ARRL is trying to address. You may not agree with their suggested solutions, but you'd have to agree that we have a problem. Right? -= Bob =- |

Right? notice you have gotten no reply Having waited almost a week for a reasonable response... The silence is telling. I believe you are right, he doesn't care.. indeed and it gets worse I am sure he believes the solution is worse than the problem because it does not promote cw forever 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. not that isn't fair BB there is No valid reasoning for the Code test any more the cllosest is boils down to "Tradition" and is fine as far as it goes but they all fall down toin todays world |

It's as if the US Navy really does control the ARS, just like they wanted to do in the early days. With the Navy, its all about tradition. |
