" Well I knew this was going to happen. As ham radio requirements continue to get dumbed down and people only understand how to use a microphone, groups like homebrew are going to dry up. SC Up 'til now I have not read your posts- just subject lines. From them, I gather you are something of a ham radio guru. May I ask a few qualifying questions? 1. Do you have a code proficinecy certificate - if so at what speed? If not, how fast can you copy? I would hope at least in excess of 20WPM, given your posts. 2. Do you build/design most or any of your equipment? 3. Have you published in any of the amateur journals? 4. Are you active in perhaps EME or microwave or other modes that require at least a modicum of technical expertise? I will admit that I, and the amateurs I congregate with can answer yes many times over to the above ( oh yeah, proficiency at 25WPM) but you don't find any of us ranting about the current state of exams. Those that wish to use code may, and those that enjoy designing/building may. Those that don't may want to in the future with proper Elmering. Looking forward to your response, Dale W4OP |

Looking forward to your response, Dale W4OP Good luck Dale. His type has a single point of aim, and a single point of failure. He probably has no idea how to make a power divider for 432 or a sequencer for an EME station. Hell, probably has no idea what either one is. Some people have a single point of view on what it takes to be a capable amateur radio operator. And they could do it with a spark gap transmitter. And couldn't use much of anything more advanced. tom K0TAR |

Looking forward to your response, Dale W4OP BTW, you might be interested to know that VE4MA worked a couple of the NLRS (Minneapolis) group on 10 Gigs Saturday night on rain scatter. 620 kilometers on about 8 watts CW. Maybe good enough for NBFM, but no one bothered. tom K0TAR |
