Omigosh, I feel my dinner coming up...BIWBAPMGO!!! Damn, good thing I had that waste basket handy! Were it not for the occasional usefulness of the 2-meter band to "real" ham radio operators like you and me, I'd suggest that it be separated from the licensing structure and just be given away to anyone who can afford a transceiver. Of course, we've already gone most of the way to doing just that, and we still don't see any real growth in the numbers of licensed amateurs. Heckuva lot of growth in the number of no-code Techs, though. So if the total number of hams hasn't increased, the number of hams with the other classes of license must have decreased accordingly in order to keep up. Or are guys reverse-upgrading to Technician nowadays? Funny thing is, most of the No-Code Techs in my club haven't upgraded yet, in spite of the meager 5 WPM code test requirement. What a bunch of maroons! 73 de Larry, K3LT |
