I disagree. Now that the code test has been eliminated from amateur radio,
it is my belief that members of the No-Code Agenda will start to attack the
mode itself -- attempt to gather support to re-farm code and other non-voice
mode allocations into voice.

The level of hatred and vitriol from that side of the aisle is quite
staggering, IMO. Not only hatred of the mode itself, but hatred of the
people who support it and like to use it. In my mind, it is a very
disturbing mindset, and only promises to be more divisive in the short (and
long) term.

I'm sure there are some LIDs who still rail on codeless techs. However, in
my travels on HF and VHF, I have to say I've found very, very few who I
would categorize as such. Most of the caustic comments I find are from
codeless techs or slowcode licensees.
