Since about 1995 there has been a paradigm shift caused by this medium we're using right now (the Internet). If code testing had been abolished significantly before that it would have boosted our numbers far more than it ever can now. All I'm really saying is that that opportunity is lost. I find it hard to take anyone seriously who uses the term "paradigm shift", especially if he proceeds to jump to a false conclusion or to several of them. No problem. We all find your attempts at judge, jury, and executioner to be ineffectual, puerile, and rather stupid. Who's "We"? Do you have a mouse in your pocket? "False conclusion?" Yes, false conclusion. Hardly. You've been wrong before. It shouldn't come as a surprise this time. Had the no-code-test Technician never been created, US ham radio would have been short by 200K ham licenses by the time of "Reconstruction." I referred to the statement concluding that the internet is the reason we don't have more hams. Ham radio is not about web pages, e-mail and usenet. Sure. there is a lot of CW use by hams on HF, but there are precious few prospective hams who want to use it. How do you know they don't want to use it? At the past several Field Days, the CW ops generated the most interest. As a sideshow it generates interest. Think of it as being like a demonstration of some obscure craft in a living museum. Sure, people find it interesting watching a blacksmith shoe a horse (and that's not a dead art either), but it doesn't mean they are going to learn to do it. But you haven't addressed the question posed: How do you know what prospective hams want to do? Oh, my, now the judge, jury, and executioner pretends to have prescience! See? Now YOU'VE jumped to a false conclusion. I didn't pretend prescience; I asked a question. Tsk, tsk, tsk...all you can do is put down others who raise questions that might threaten your "superior" status in amateur radio. Tsk, tsk indeed, Foghorn. You have it backwards. Someone made a statement, I asked the question. Why are you concerned with my status in amateur radio? You aren't involved. Try READING what Alun said. He raises a valid point. Try reading what I said. Alun raised a point. It isn't necessarily valid. I asked a question. You're all fogged up. You are still REFUSING to accept anything contrary to your precious viewpoints. That won't make them go away. Granted, my precious viewpoints are not going away. Let me ask you, are you now accepting anything contrary to YOUR precious viewpoints? It just arouses enmity among all those who refuse to worship your radiogod status. What's it to you? You have nothing to do with amateur radio. Have you made up your mind yet. Some time back you stated that I wasn't a radio god then I was a radio god then I wasn't a radio god. Have you made up your mind yet? Dave K8MN |
