There has been a free ham license ever since the codeless tech was introduced a few years back. The 5 wpm code requirement has further moved things in that direction. Idiots on the ham bands. 11 meters has come to the ham bands. I listen to the bands and it's certainly not the way things were in the 1980's when I got licenced. I might as well just listen to CB channel 19, it all sounds the same now. -snippage- Take that cross posted stink bait outta' here, chump. -- GO# 40 |
Sounds like you old pro-coders are getting upset! I worked and had to pay to get my no-code ticket. Now that Im a coded tech, I still say, rid the code test. You may say it dumbs it down, to me it makes for more conversation and more to converse with. Who wants to talk on a piece of equipment that cost $1000 + but no-one to hear you? Why not let these CB'rs get there license so they can learn the principals of ham radio instead of bootlegging. I realise that you guys are all stuck in 1950, but WAKE UP!!!!!! This is 2003!!!!! This reminds me, Wasnt it quite a few years ago that a bunch of HAMS like yourselves were complaining about solid-state over tube? Oh my god! There dumbing down radio with RF transistors!!!! What is next!!!!! Quit whining and get involved in making the radio better for all. All you pro-coders are just wasting your breath. They still make tubes, but you have a choice if you want to use tube or transistor equipment. Isnt that nice, To have a choice? I chose to advance in my hobby by going to Extra soon, and I dont need a code holding me back. Do you actually think that the bad CB'rs are going to go get a license so they can JAM and CUSS at you? NO!!! The good ones will! So where is the FREE at? Cya, wouldnt want to be ya. 73 KF6FOZ On Tue, 12 Aug 2003 22:44:19 -0000, "No Code, No Ham" wrote: (WA8ULX) wrote in : Do Hams get 11 Meters Back, as soon as all the CBers upgrade to there Free Handout Ham Licenses?

They worked to dumb things done in order to produce more licensee's who might join the organization and fill the corporate bank accounts, but instead, they got a bunch of idiots who don't care bacause getting a license is easy now and when you don't have to work to get the benefits, the benefits you get don't mean a whole lot. All real hams out there who remember how the bands used to be, send the ARRL a nasty-gram and cancel your League memberships. They screwed us over big time by not protecting the integrity of the Amateur radio Service. No Code.... No Ham! |
