Did you know that Carl was in Geneva as a member of the
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.

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.
