Stevenson" writes: What WILL be the end of ham radio is a lack of significant growth ... Let's get it straight - is dropping Element 1 going to give us lots more growth or not? I'm going to interject here, since I'm still on Vacation and can only get in so many posts for a bit. NO EXCUSES! I don't understand a few of the things Carl says here. That we will dissapear unless we get "significant growth". What exactly is that? a 100 percent increase in a day? increase at 1 percent over population increase? IT'S ALL ARCHIVED IN GOOGLE. OLD ARGUMENT IN HERE, THAT REV. JIMMIE WAS TRYING TO WEASEL OUT OF BY USING THAT TIRED OLD LUMPING OF TECH-PLUSSES WITH TECHS PLOY. HAD YOU SEEN THE ARGUMENT AWAYS BACK YOU WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT US AMATEUR RADIO WAS ACTUALLY SHRINKING WITHOUT THE NO-CODE-TEST TECHNICIANS COMING ON BOARD. I'd like to know the advances they will bring. I WANT TO KNOW THE "ADVANCES" THE PRO-CODERS BROUGHT IN OVER THE LAST HALF-CENTURY. I want to hear how those who oppose the ending of the Morse code requirement are keeping ham radio from marching forward. THE LIVING MUSEUM OF THE ARCHAIC RADIOTELEGRAPHY SERVICE IS ALWAYS OPEN, ALWAYS BEEPING. SOME AREN'T MARCHING, BUT ARE USING WALKERS. Time for the roadmap to the future to be laid out. WHO ARE YOU, RAND-MCNALLY? THE USCGS? Or is this like the last scene in "The Candidate"? MORE LIKE "THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE." I find it amusing that even though the PCTA's have lost the war, that those who brought this to bear cannot avoid smacking us around a little bit yet. It might be fun, but isn't doing anyone a bit of good. AWWWW....POOR POOR LITTLE HOCKEYPUCK! FEEL BEAT UP DO YOU? TSK, TSK. Gloat time is over. NOT BY A LONG SHOT, HOCKEYPUCK. PRO-CODERS HAVE HAD A HALF CENTURY PLUS OF GLOATING AND BROW-BEATING THOSE THAT DIDN'T CARE TO USE MORSE OR DIDN'T SEE THE NEED TO USE IT. HALF CENTURY. Your time has come. Nope. YOURS has. You aligned yourself with the pro-coders on the barricades. You WILL lose. Try, try to get used to the reality. You now have the chance to prove that you were right. That was "proven" a long time ago by every OTHER radio service. The old Beepers wanted to preserve their youth long, long after and kept up the pressure for all AMATEURS to test for code. The IARU finally saw the light of reality for the International Amateur Radio community. ARRL may never see it. ARRL seems a law unto itself with all its brainwashing over the years. And browbeating the losers isn't a very good start. POOR BABY! My, the HOLIER-THAN-THOU attitude sounds so "noble!" You ain't no "loser," hockeypuck. You just picked the wrong side and try to disguise your whining with that holier-than-thou hypocritical BS about some imaginary "ethics." If you are going to restart all that tinnitus whining, you're out of luck. I have it too and I'm not whining or making excuses. A half century ago I and hundreds in my outfit were busy doing primary HF communications trans-Pacific. NO morse code used for that then, none after, not even after HF communications went from primary to secondary status in 1978. Sorry to hijack the thread, Jim! Back under the bridge, troll... LHA |
