As I knew it always would. I would upgrade my ham license without EVER taking a CW test. Do I wish CW "Exterminated"- No. You old farts need the CW to pass the time away. I do not. Something like a CW test, keeps many good people like me from enjoying the ham bands. This is 2003, not 1955. Alot has changed. I speak for many people. They feel the same way I do. We want the CW requirement dropped SOON. I can live with taking a written test(s) to get my HF. I will be e-mailing my ARRL section manager soon. We will get the code dropped. Then on to bigger things. Lloyd Davies, N0VFP Future no-code Extra FT-817 Well, as always, those that can -- do. Those that can't -- whine about the requirements and wait for them to be dumbed-down to their level! I highly suggest that to add to your sense of self-satisfaction, that once you get your "No-Code Extra" you make a point of telling every Pre- Restructuring, 20-WPM code-tested Extra you know that you are their "equal" as a ham radio operator. I'll go so far as to bet that you can even find a few that might agree with you -- but they'll mostly be phone operators who outgas into their microphones all day, and haven't touched a key in who knows how long! 73 de Larry, K3LT |
