Why would anyone want to take a test to communicate? with Star Trek convention grade people?? For that matter why would anyone learn how to avoid top posting? I passed my "ham" test in 1979 and now that the code requirement has been completely removed for amateur radio I have full access to all bands, but I never get on the air. "Slow Code" wrote in message link.net... Just thought you should know that. Help save Ham radio and ignore Markie to save usenet. Thanks 1- No more automatic renewals. Individuals must retest and pass all elements required for their license class every ten years. 2- The passing score for written exams needs to be raised to 85%. 3- Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra. 4- Make the no-code license one year non-renewable. 5- Cancel your ARRL membership until they decide to work to improve things and stop them from proposing ham radio that is like CB.
