You probably mean me. I am not a US citizen, I'm British, but I live
in the USA. Larry has said that he used to be G0L something or other.
Of course that doesn't prove he's British, but it's not renounceable,
so if he ever was then he's stuck with it, whether or not he's a US
citizen.

In the conext of my point Alun, some of the countries that will
apparantly keep the code requirement are not those who we would expect
to post to this group, are out of the way, and hard to drum up a lot of
interest for change in the typical reader or ham for that matter.


A lot of people thought that Germany would keep the code test, and yet
they look like being number three to get rid of it (that is, they will be,
barring a surprise announcement by some other country before their
effective date)..

It will be pretty hard to convince a lot of hams here in the USA
or say
even the UK that they should join an organization that is trying to get
ride of the Morse code requirement in say Russia.


No doubt

Nothing meant about your opinions or right to post here.

I didn't think you did mean that, I was just wondering who you meant
