Absolutely. To come to the conclusion that deaf people cannot learn and use CW is rather narrow-minded in my opnion. I bet there's a way that ANYONE could learn CW. It helps if a person types in all caps too! ;^) For goodness sake! By your example, Keith, blind people should not be licensed because, "how in the world would they know what frequency they are on?" Now that you mention it, how does a fully blind ham tell what frequency he or she is on? I suppose that using the memory channels on an HF rig would be one method, but does anyone here know? - Mike KB3EIA - |

Read 97.301(e) it depends on the International requirement for morse code proficiency. The requirement for morse code proficiency is GONE. HAR!

YOU WILL SEE HOW STUPID YOU SOUND. THE NEWEST VERSION! ALL AMATEURS ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A COPY OF CURRENT LAWS AVAILABLE... BUT SINCE YOU"VE OBVIOUSLY NOT READ THEM TO KNOW THE LAWS, YOU WOULDN'T BE AWARE OF THIS ONE EITHER! NOW, IS THIS BIG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO READ AND UNDERSTAND?????? DUHHHHH....... You're both on crack. Part 95 is the CB regs. The regs for ham radio are in part 97. DE John, KC2HMZ NOPE, I'm not on Crack, but you're right... Being I was in a "CB" room, got tunnel vision - so thought instinctlively of Part 95.. It is part 97 for Ham. So, "I" stand corrected... My error. JMS |

But does the government require the blind to take a test to prove they can read the frequency read out in order to obtain a license? Are you telling me that you think the wo are related? - Mike KB3EIA - |

You can NOT sidestep laws that exist. A law may be come effective in one sense but when it affects so many countries, it takes time in the administrative governments to trickle down. As I understand it, there are yet, a few countries who will refuse to abide by the International Treaty's standards to the letter. The International Union decided to drop CW as a requirement, that does NOT mean WE have to. IF the other countries are not so willing to go with it either, then perhaps the FCC won't be so quick to jump either. Get off your lazy ass and learn 5 WPM CW. It is not any harder than learning to drive a car or program a computer. IF it is worth it to you to use 10 meters or any other band, then get your act together and make it a mission to actually LEARN something. "I" am NOT one of the biased ARRL people, I don't and won't belong to the ARRL. So my opinion is based purely on KNOWING that is doesn't take a hell of a lot of work to LEARN - CW @ 5 WPM. If the handicapped can do it, ANYONE CAN. If you can't, then you're not handicapped, you're plain brain dead and lazy. JMS |

Another problem that was pointed out to me are people with disabilities. According to the American with Disabilities Act the government can not discriminate against disabled people . Now that s25.5 is international law the government must now accommodate disabled people and they must do it without reasonable delay. You must really enjoy playing wannabe lawyer --- and missing the target. The issue of code and the ADA was hashed out by the FCC several years ago. Nothing changed. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane A real lawyer |
