You're *assuming* that everyone who has an opinion on amateur radio policy issues is interested in amateur radio having the best possible future. And in most cases that's true - but not when Mr. Anderson is involved. His behavior here, and his comments to FCC, indicate that he's *not* interested in what's best for amateur radio. He's just interested in stirring up division, discord and hostility between amateurs, diverting them from other issues, and denying amateur traditions and contributions to society and the radio art. Inventive Licensing comes to mind as the big divider. You're probably right. Everyone who holds an amateur ticket likely had some incentive. Len had none. Dave K8MN Of course I'm right! ;^) Len, like any Americans who've shown an interest in the ARS, have a disincentive. It is the Morse requirement for HF access. Your claim might ring true if Len had bothered to obtain a code-free ticket at some point. He hasn't. Of whom are you speaking, old man? I've had HF access several times in the last half century, all legal, all involving actual communications. No amateur license was required at any time. No morse skill needed whatsoever. The discussion should be about the federal regulations for an amateur radio license regulation, not the individual "motivations" of any aspirant to an avocational radio activity. You constantly insist on personalizing everything about those who do not share your holy and illustrious viewpoints. That is your problem and you continually foul this newsgroup with arrogant remarks against the person of those of opposite opinions. Not my problem but certainly yours in attitude. Amateur radio is supposed to be a recreation, a fun activity involving radio, licensing required only because of physics of EM waves and federal regulation. Instead, you've turned it into a battleground of your own, arrogantly demanding adherence to your personal view- points. You join several others in here in so doing, some past, some present. That's counter to the original purpose of "the service," isn't it? Or is it? Perhaps you embody modern amateur radio, a constant striving for leading the pack in competitive activity? A competition complete with taunts and jibes and outright insults against those who "challenge" your arrogant expertise? If so, there is no wonder that amateur radio has not increased in number commensurate with the growth in population. Enjoy your little clique of morse code uber alles in amateur radio where the "bands" are only on HF. Feel superior that you've met all the criteria and standards established by long-gone amateurs of past times. You are important, superior, vital, and that is all that matters. You should be demanding that ALL test for high rates of morse in order to become fully FDA licensed as a ham. Condemn all those who cannot learn, will not learn, nor share your opinions. May Santa bring you an irrepairable intermittent in your favorite HF transceiver along with a truckload of dusty, high-sulphur-content coal in your stocking. Merry Christmas. LHA |
