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."

Prove it.

Show proof that 200,000 people would not have gotten US amateur radio
licenses between February 14, 1991 and April 15, 2000 if the Technician
class license had never lost its code test.

I don't think you have any proof. Or even any evidence. Just bluster.

that was an OLD argument in here and you LOST it.

How did I "lose" it, Len? Show us some proof of your assertion.

You did.

No, I did not.

It's all in Google.

Then show us. I don't think you can.

You just flat-out REFUSED to consider
the FCC's own database information (as compiled by a PCTA) and
wanted to hide 9 years worth of New Licensees.

Where? How?

You are simply repeating untruths. That's not rational behavior.

Getting all puffed up and antagonistic won't prove any case for
you on the morse code test. It won't prove any case for your
false interpretation of statistics that was on the AH0A website.

The only person I see getting puffed up and antagonistic is you, Len.

Nah.

Yeah.

I'm just poking an old morseman who is blinded to the truth. :-)

You're missing the mark by a mile.

You would not accept statistics of a noted PCTA taken from the
FCC public database then and you refuse to accept it now.

What are you talking about?

Go back a few years in Google, extract several hundred posts on
the subject in there.

You do it.

You will see it.

Show me.

Anyone would if they wanted
to endlessly rehash past arguments.

If anyone can see it, why don't you show us?

In 1991, all Technicians were code tested.

In 2000, most Technicians were not code tested.

200,000 Technicians who were not code tested in 2000 is somewhere in the
ball
park. Nobody denies that in 2000 there were a lot of Technicians who had not
passed code tests.

However, you claimed:

"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.""

Reconstruction?

Carpet baggers and all. :-)

Then go back where you came from.

The only way we'd be "short" 200,000 is if none of the 200,000 got licenses.
Did your crystal ball tell you that none of them would have learned the
code?

There's no point in rehashing an old argument where you LOST.

Ah, I see. You're using the Big Lie technique, where you simply claim to
have
"won" without presenting any proof or even any evidence.

Did it all years ago.

Yes, you used the Big Lie technique before.

You refused to believe any of it then, still do.

What did I refuse to believe? That there were 200,000 Technicians? That's
simply not true.

You need your brain washed. It's too full of dits and dahs.

Are you a Communist, Len? You speak of brainwashing.

You won't make any valid "points" in here by repeating "you're
mistaken" and continual refusal to accept FCC database
information.

I'm not after "points". Just the facts. But you don't have any facts to back
up your claims.

I did, but trying to present FACTS back then was useless when you
refused to accept them. You still refuse to accept such facts.

I refuse to accept mistakes. You have presented mistakes, not facts.

Not
worth the trouble to go back through the past over and over and over
again.

Then why do you do it? You keep repeating your experiences in Japan, which were
way back in the past, over and over and over and over and over and over and
over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
again.

You can repeat the same mistakes over and over but they'll still be
mistakes,
Len.

See? There you go once more. You won't accept any truth that is
against your viewpoint. You call all of such things "mistakes." :-)

Because they are not the truth.
