Why would you fake being the ARRL when you are using comcast.net?

(Some "professionals" can't seem to even get a Technician license out of the box, despite the reduction in written testing as well as code). Total growth of 901 in that much time isn't healthy. Reducing the code test to just 5 wpm did not result in sustained growth, and neither did reducing the written tests. 73 de Jim, N2EY |

People just don't want to learn the code. Either that or people just don't want to become hams. We have an insider who might be able to shed some light on those issues. It's difficult for people to develop an interest in ham radio when they have never heard of it. Most people that I know who are not hams never even heard about it until they met me. Dee D.
