It seems to me they want to eliminate all testing.

That's what happens when no-codes and nickle hams start running
things. Or is that ruining things?

Naw, ARRL isn't trying to do that. I haven't seen anything in their
current goals that would lead me to believe that they are trying to
send the rest of our spectrum the way of 11 meters. I may be wrong, but
I don't think the FCC would do that again (if any of the current
commissioners are students of FCC history that is) even if the ARRL
suggested it.

The numbers of Hams out there and how it's been dropping though the
more recent years is an alarming trend. With the age of the average ham
creeping higher, this hobby is set to all but die out in the USA within
a generation unless something changes.

Surely you see the problem that the ARRL is trying to address. You may
not agree with their suggested solutions, but you'd have to agree that
we have a problem. Right?

indeed and it gets worse I am sure he believes the solution is worse
than the problem because it does not promote cw forever

Slow Code is only here to troll. He's a fan of CW, but not a big
enough fan to actually defent the continued testing of Morse Code with
any valid reasoning.

That's why I like to see them try to justify it.

Good Grief! It's as if the US Navy really does control the ARS, just
like they wanted to do in the early days. With the Navy, its all about
tradition.

I don't know much about them. Do they oppress their own people?

ARRL is willing to let the problem get worse by not supporting policy that
will improve or at least maintain the quality of individuals getting
licensed. Maybe they don't care if hams are like CB'ers as long as the
memberships keep rolling in.

Can you say: Breaker Breaker 19? That's where we're headed.

It's started going down hill about the mid-eighties and the ARRL pushed to
make it go down hill faster. That crash at the bottom ain't gonna look
pretty... or sound pretty.
