OK folks, you saw it first here! The founder of NLI.

Nah, that's 11 meters. Nobody wants that mess on the ham bands. My point
was to mention competing hobbies that do not require a license to do. Also
an additional point I wanted to make was that we need to avoid excessive
grades or levels of ham license.

Most other "competing hobbies" don't have the potential to create havoc
like an untrained, unlicensed person let loose with a radio transmitter that
s/he doesn't know how to use properly.

Most other "competing hobbies" with the potential to create a hazard to
the public are either licensed or regulated by the government in some fashion
(ie: hang gliding, SCUBA diving, motorcycle racing, etc.)

And, unfortunately Robert, there ARE some people who would love to hear
"that mess" on the Ham bands. They are few and for the most part, functionally
illiterate, but they are there. (ie: WA8ULX)

Inflamatory questions won't be answered.

So far that's been just about ANY question put to you.

Hey! Whatta you know? I agree with that.

NCI's Board of Directors debated the issues and,
while there was not 100% agreeement on our personal
views we agreed that we should represent our members'
views to the FCC and that we could each file our personal
comments to voice our personal views.


In the military that is commonly called "go along to get along"
leadership or "let's have a beauty contest and even if the winner
is ugly we can swallow hard and put a bag over her head".

Which pretty much makes you a coward, especially in as all of the
questions were the result of stupid statements YOU made...Like how "unlicensed
radio services play a "major role" in disaster communicaitons".

Still waiting for you to pull THAT rabbit out of your....hat.

NCI representing it's views is one thing, but I think that when a
membership supports an idea that is actually harmful to the ARS, it is
time to kinda step back from it.

We didn't think it was "actually harmful to the ARS" - there was just not
unanimous agreement amongst the directors on a couple of points ...

That's probably not a remarkable revelation, given that the overwhelming
majority of the NCI members are Technicians who would naturally benefit
from such action.

The REAL question isn't what the NCI membership supports, but rather....


Q: Will the NCI Board of Directors recommend
upgrading all Tech/Tech+ licensees to General
without further testing?

A: (please select one and only one answer)
___ Yes
___ No
___ The Board will take no position on this matter

Cheers,

Hans,

WADR ... As a Board of Directors, the NCI BoD has an obligation to the
membership to represent its views.

Your "question" is so patently biased against the BoD acting in a manner
that is responsive to (and responsible to) the membership that I refuse to
play that game.

73,
Carl - wk3c

Wow, Hans' "question" looks like a simple matter of yes or no to me. I
think he even gave you a gracious "out" with the inclusion of "The
Board will take no position on this matter." Where's the "bias?"

They looked good from the far side and the near side, front side and
back side. So I married one of 'em.
