Behold, John Miles scribed on tube chassis:

In article gzgQd.58975$L_3.40931@clgrps13, says...
IMHO, it would be of benefit if the no-code class, rather than limit
one to commercial based equipment, be forced to use homebrew TX or RX
equipment.

The only requirement being a power limitation and it meets the spectral
purity, etc. regs of the country of origin. Boatanchor or
"radio-on-a-PIC", whatever construction.

But you know the government..........


Somehow, I doubt many of those 20 WPM Extras making equine posteriors
out of themselves on 75 fone are doing so on homebrew rigs.

The idea is the advanced ticket people can buy commercial rigs.

I was reading some of the the history of Ham radio though and it seems
today's ham's rarely fit the bill :-(

What happened?
