CW Gone from Testing - We've arrived in the 21st Century!
You can tell the hams who have not listened to CB in quite a while. It's
about dead compared to what it was in the 70s. Hardly any truckers using it either. So the constant reference to CBers really shows ignorance. Dropping the CW requirement is about 15 years too late. It will help, but young people have too many other interests now like computers and the Internet to get interested now and they still have beliefs that this is an old-fart hobby with morse code. Hard to change that perception, especially when you have so many old-farts trying to keep people out of the service. helmsman wrote: On Fri, 15 Dec 2006 21:44:58 -0500, "Liberals R.

In one evening we went from the 19th Century to the 21st Century!!! Finally!!! A day for all CBer's to be proud of! |

Hardly any truckers using Living in the central valley in calif and near a few major freeways, channel 17 is quite busy all day, and their is much activity even late into the night. It would be nice if amateur radio experienced the boon which cb did experience in the 70's. However, I fear the importance of radio beside the internet will prevent this from happening. Regards, JS |

We're all no-coders now. No CW exam, no-code. So get your cell phone out
