PCTA's haven't done enough proper marketing of their product IMO.


It's really HARD to market a product that few want ... that's why the PCTA's
feel the need for a government-sponsored support system.


NCI pettition is all opinion.


No ... the NCI petition is loaded with the facts about how any legitimate
need for a government-mandated Morse test evaporated years ago, how
the FCC has determined that it does not comport with the purpose of the
ARS, how the test serves no regulatory purpose, how it doesn't "make for
a better, more well-behaved, more technically competent operator, etc., etc.

The petition is chock-full of facts ...

Well, that's your opinion anyhow! 8^)

But seriously, if I could offer some advice. It is okay to have an
opinion. You have your's and I have mine.

It's even okay to try to turn your opinion into the law of the land. If
enough people agree, it will happen.

But there is a mistake of hubris in believing that ones own personal
opinion is fact.



[snipped the rest because I refuse to get drawn into unrelated debates
about privs vs. license class, etc. that have nothing to do with the Morse
test issue ...]

Probably a good idea...
