What is the ARRL's thought on having good amateurs?

You mean the Technician? If so, they are a considerable amount less than half. 40% is more like it. 49.5% according to your very own postings. You are mistaken, Brian. No, I'm not. Half of all USA licensed amateurs are licensed under a Code-Free License. Ooops. Without inserting the word "TEST" in "Code-free" will automatically alert Mighty Macho Morseman Miccolis to run off again with his "helpful correction of mistakes." :-) Let's face fact: Brian was incorrect in his statement. Brian was correct, and remains correct. Correct, correct, correct. When a Novice renews his/her license, it is as a Novice. When an Advanced renews his/her license, it is as an Advanced. But when a Technician Plus renews his/her license, it is as a Technician, NO PLUS. Should a Technician want to exercise privileges previously available to the PLUS, they must produce documentation granting those priveleges. Brian, der Waffen SS guy doesn't KNOW that... Sure he does. I just told it to him. he is secure in his extra super-special ignorance... He frets over stuff and argues a lot. The Technician license does not make up 49.5% of US hams. The total of Technicians and Technician Pluses reaches about that level. (All Technician Pluses are Morse Code tested). The FCC did away with the Technician Plus class of license. They are all Technicians now. The Technician license has no requirement for a code exam. Should a Technician wish to use what were once Technician Plus priveleges, they're on their own to show eligibility. Miccolis can't seem to understand the LAW. No matter how often it is explained to him, he falls back on the Speroni 'definition' of 'What Technicians Are.' Of course, AH0A is a PCTA morseman of unchangeable ideas. Half of all USA licensed amateurs are licensed under a Code-Free License. Tsk, Mighty Macho Morseman Miccolis will HAVE to "reply" with his "helpful correction of mistakes" a la the mighty macho morseman style of "knowing what is best for amateur radio" (as He sees it...). Jim has been a licensed radio amateur for decades. I'd accept his view on how best to regulate amateur radio before I'd accept the word of someone who had never obtained any class amateur radio license. Now what? Your ignorance knows no bounds. You're already accepting the "word" of someone who never obtained any class of radio license... the regulators at the FCC. Get over it. Tsk, he doesn't understand THAT either...he is SO dumb. The FCC giveth, the FCC taketh away. NONE of the staff or commissioners at the FCC are required to hold amateur radio licenses in order to REGULATE US amateur radio. My personal opinion is that it's a conflict of interest for FCC staff to hold amateur radio licenses. Half of all USA licensed amateurs are licensed under a Code-Free License. True enough...and the OTHER half had to take a morse code TEST to get that AMATEUR license. Repeating his false statement doesn't make Brian's claim true. Your "true enough" doesn't make it true. Correct. It is true regardless of your's or Len's comments. That's the beauty about a truth. Heil NEEDS the morsemen's PCTA "truth." [Big Brother told him] Yeh, I guess. I don't understand how a guy can work so hard to remain ignorant. Tsk. Miccolis is hell-bent on character-assassination lately. I make a typo in a message and he makes it into a HEADLINE STORY charging some kind of ineptitude! :-) It was obviously a typo. But Jim and Dave put on their stupid face allatime. True enough. They don't have ONE consideration that I saw my error and posted my own correction of it. On every 'QWERTY' keyboard there is one key with an (unshifted) apostrophe and a (shifted) double-quote. Really, Len? Do you know why we have the QWERTY keyboard? To slow down the Morse Operators!!! Heil couldn't do 60 WPM on a morse key if his life depended on it. Straight key? It's highly unlikely. Maybe with a keyboard and CWGet. In the shorthand version of dimensioning, a foot is denoted by the suffix of an apostrophe while an inch is denoted by the suffix of double quote. As an example, my height can be written 5' 10" or, in longer form, five feet ten inches. In rapid typing (I learned touch-typing in middle school) it is possible to make a mistake in too much pressure on the Shift key and inadvertently type in the double-quote. You must have missed a few lessons during that touch-typing course. You aren't supposed to rest your fingers on any of the keys. Your John Kerry explanation doesn't wash. To type an apostrophe, your finger shouldn't have been on the shift key at all. They why has the QWERTY God placed a nub on each key where your index fingers are supposed to rest? Der Waffen SS guy worships another religion...the Church of St. Hiram. False Gods.... But...in the Grand Inquisitor manner of the might macho morsemen, a type by an NCTA is a CAPITAL OFFENSE... No, Len, it was simply another error. No, Dave, it was a simple typo. Tsk, that's why the Waffen SS guy is called that. He wants a summary firing squad for every NCTA that makes typos. That's so sad. Anyone else can read past a typo and still ket the message. Dave trips over a typo and skins his knee key. ...punishable by a lifetime of message comments about that typo...and NEVER acknowledging that it was corrected! When you resort to a preposterous excuse for making a typo--one that is absurd to anyone who knows anything about touch-typing--you'll likely hear more about your error the more you try to explain it. I've operated TTY. I accept his answer. Not only that, his Waffen SS buddie has to chime in like it is a capital offense! :-) Tsk, Miccolis is now under Typo Alert Status, condition Red. Each and every typo HE makes will be FEATURED INEPTITUDES of his own! Regardless of his 'explanations' of his typos, he will be charged with violations of all mankind! :-) Chimes against humanity! HAR!!! :-) [Heil went to 'Ding Dong School'? :-)] Sure, I did, Len. I'm the right age. Miss Frances was a favorite of mine. Now what? Dave K8MN Now its back to 6M and those out of band Frenchmen. Best of Luck. Don't forget "downloading firmware" for his Orion. :-) Wonder how offen he has to do dat? Der Waffen SS guy ate too many Ding-Dongs. Now HE is a "chime against" ham humanity... Hamanity. |
