Amateur Radio is about to undergo a face lift and a painful rebirth into the new millennium ... These are truly exciting times to live in. That's what people said when the FCC did the 2000 restructuring. Guess what? No effect. 11k amateurs added between '00 and April '03. Since April '03, ARS has lost 32k amateurs. This latest change will have about as much effect -- a fizzle -- because when push comes to shove, the 5wpm code test did not represent a significant barrier to entry to amateur radio, despite what the No-Code Agenda would like you to believe. |
