In article , says... Citizen Band was created when they started issueing licenses without a CW requirement. From someone who entered via no-code and advanced to extra within a year I take issue with that. He's just a troll, Tony. Perhaps the no-code license was the best thing that happened to amateur radio. It removed an obstacle I wasn't ready to face at the time but after a couple months I got my 5WPM code. And then a couple months later my 13WPM and then the 20WMP. Was it really that hard to learn? What ticks me off is the watered down code requirement that we have now. It's the logical result. Gradually reduce the requirements. But in essence, we're all appliance operators now anyhow. Not me! It doesn't really matter. I think it does. And I think the days of amateur radio are numbered what with BPL and such. I hope not. But even if deployed, BPL may not survive for other reasons. Ever hear of the Iridium system? 73 de Jim, N2EY |
