Whether or not they're being honest or just spiteful, there's a lot of hams that accuse the largest ham radio equipment producers of financing the "beat the morse code" campaign (as they see it)... (snip) A little too conspiratorial for me but there's many who buy it. I agree. Only a handful of companies have ever said anything publicly about code testing and even less have stated a position on the matter. For many of the larger companies, Amateur Radio is a tiny market. Even if this market doubled in size, the profits would still be small compared to other markets (military and so on). In other words, there's just not much incentive for these companies to go out of their way to push towards the elimination of code testing in an effort to manipulate this market. There is even less incentive to finance an effort to do so. Dwight Stewart (W5NET) http://www.qsl.net/w5net/ |
