A question well stated, Slow Code...
No, it is a telephone conversation. Period. And that is what the whole hobby
will turn into if the self-righteous, lazy whiners get their way and code
is, once and for all, abolished. They all have contributed to the hobby's
deterioration so far and don't like the fact that a few of us have got their
number and can assess them for what they are. What do these simple-minded
idiots think will happen if, as they press forward, they get all testing
removed? The simple fact is that this is all a set up so the frequencies can
be auctioned to non ham interests. The morons in Newington whimper about the
reduced ham population. Geez Louise...there are many times more hams today
(including those with the "faux" ham licenses not requiring code) than in
the post WWII ham "boom." Not enough?

No kids...this whole code thing and the watering down of the test is simply
a matter dividing and conquering so "they" can come in and tell us that our
numbers don't justify the spectrum. Then...pfssssst!!!...there goes one band
after another.

If any of the no coders had any balls they'd be asking the fcc for real
testing and redevelop the hobby into what it used to be instead of the inane
weekend contesting and buffoons sitting there are sideband comparing which
rigs have the most features.

Idiots.




What's wrong with that,
eslewhere you denied being arogant mr 2 faced
if it helps motivate people to be better hams.
Unfortunately, most here don't want better hams.
I certainly do which is why I call for you Steve and woger to turn in
your licenses

please help out ham radio and turn yours in SC


If two no-code hams contact each other on CB, is that a real QSO?

Oh yeah, I really miss the days when the grouchy old
AM hams ceaselessly complained loud and long about those
"Single Side-Winders" on their personal AM frequencies
with that new fangled Mickey Mouse mode from hell (SSB).

Nah, the spectrum has moved up to SHF, no one in govt or industry gives
a rat's ass about the spectrum below 30 MHz.

Top posting makes this very confusing.

However, I am convinced that nobody in industry or at the FCC cares about
anything other than optimizing short-term revenue. The notion of optimizing
spectrum use for the greatest good went out with the Carter administration.
This is one of the greatest tragedies of our time in my opinion.

That's pretty good. :-)

I know what you mean about the trolls Bill. I've decided to not follow-up
to anything Markie Morgan, KB9RQZ posts anymore. Not that I ever remember
seeing him posting anything that was worth a follow-up, but he's such a
friggen retard that sometimes a person looses control and flames his dumb
ass. I'm trying to watch out for that now. Thanks again for posting the
cute sign. 73 How's your code practice coming along?
