Haven't heard from you for a while, Jim!


I don't see the point of code being a requirement these days, but I
don't see the "no code" licensing the only reason for all the wackos
being on the HAM band. Good HAM's totally outnumber bad HAM's, the
majority of HAM's I've listened too are good users of the bands. There
has been always wackos and crackpots on the radio, and then you have
your old-school HAM's who passed all those code tests back in the day
and still act like kooks. I've certainily heard them on there.

It's the responsibility factor, not much of this exists these days,
especially when times change, your going to have more increasing
numbers of kooks no matter if the code is eliminated or not.
