Semtex, he couldn't blow his nose!

Larry,
Sure sounds like sour grapes to me.

Did you know that Carl was in Geneva as a member of the
US delegation? Seems pretty respected in
ITU circles to me.

Cheers,
Bill K2UNK


Bill:

I didn't know that, but it sounds like "blather" to me!

Call it whatever you like. Fact is Carl was on the delegation
and involved both during and before the WRC.

Sounds like an awful lot of effort....to get something removed that required
a much smaller amount of effort.

The effort is of no consequence when judging the need
for any specific requirement. The only thing that matters
is clear and compelling reason(s) to have or not have
a particular requirement. The FCC weighed in on
morse rational in the R&O for 98-143 plus the
subsequent petitions for reconsideration.

Yup, a celebration of less knowledge.

Carl has obviously been on a Jihad against Morse code for most of his adult
life.
Seems he must have flunked his 13wpm code test for the General in San Diego many
years ago and wound up getting enough of that 13wpm to qualify for an
old-category Tech. That daunting experience seems likewise to have left him with
a load of bile that has taken all these years to find a relief outlet for...NCI
and its
"mission" have been right up his alley.

And you're right, of course- it would have been much easier for him to have
just
tuned in W1AW code practice a few more sessions and retested, but what the hey!

Talk about a "load of bile"! NCI followed all the rules, participated
actively in the preparation for WRC and had an NCI Director at the
WRC itself and all Dick can do is whine. Seems like the PCTA
folks didn't care enough about morse to even try to retain it. Guess
morse will really die off if the PCTA folks are the sole recruiting
effort for morse going forward.

Who is Nancy Kott? My memory thinks it is
someone involved with FISTS?

Bill:

Yes, that's right. She's involved in the "non-political" CW Operator Awards
Program for Retired Geezer Brass Bashers known as FISTS. She is, in
fact, the North American "Secretary" of that organization. She is also the
new editor of WorldRadio. At least she has found something useful to do.
