Subject: FCC Morse testing at 16 and 20 WPM
From: PAMNO (N2EY) Date: 7/15/2004 11:44 AM Central Standard Time Message-id: In article , (Len Over 21) writes: Nonsense for the new millennium. That's what you're giving us, Len! Of course it is. Without any practical experience in Amatuer Radio, how could he render an INFORMED opinon on ANYthing having to do with Amateur Radio...??? The separate, elite morsemen-only portions of the ham bands were put there by old morsemen who were able to influence League lobbying. Len, what are "morsemen"? Anything and everything he's not. Reminds me of the TV evangilist who was always hollering about the immorality of the flesh, then got caught renting it! And if you're talking about how the bands got carved up into Extra-only, Advanced-and-Extra-only, and General-and-above subbands, that wasn't an ARRL idea at all. It came from elsewhere. Don't confuse him with the truth, Jim. What is this "easy to enforce" nonsense? It's not nonsense at all, Len. The FCC reads morse easier than it can voice? [I don't think so] Can the FCC DF on OOK-CW signals "easier" than voice signals? [I don't think so] The easy to enforce *fact* is that it's simple to check the frequency of a signal against the license class. It's not nearly so easy to verify things like power level. All of the morsemen's propaganda is just spin to keep their little morse playground. No more, no less. What are you talking about, Len? The propaganda is coming from the Loser on Lanark. The only Morse-code-only segments of US amateur radio are the lowest 100 kHz of 6 and 2 meters. Open to all hams except Novices. More facts to choke on, Jim. You will be angry and disturbed at such direct language, but, like Ernestine's creator put it..."plbthththt...and that's the absolute truth." :-) And it's as true as what Ernestine says. IOW, what you wrote is absolute nonsense, Len, and the historical records prove it. As always. Besides, why do you want to live in the past so much? Since 1990 it has been possible to get any class of US ham license with just a 5 wpm code test and a medical waiver. Since 2000, the only Morse code test left has been the 5 wpm test. I don't think Lennie's diagnosis of ACRI (*) counts for Amateur testing waiver purposes, Jim. Here's a challenge for ya, Len: Tell us, in brief and clear terms, without your usual level of insults, exactly what *you* think the US amateur license requirements and privileges should be. We already know you don't like the code test so that issue is clear. But what about the rest? How many license classes? Subbands by mode, license class, power? What sort of written exams? Other requirements? Yeah...let's get another dose of that age limit thing, and please include some FCC statistics on age-vs-infraction occurences...Better yet, let's see some of your credentials on child rearing and development that support your assertion for the need of an age limit. Let's see what *you* would enact if you could. He'd just take an eraser to the whole thing. Or are you only interested in nonsense? My bet's on the nonsense. That's all he's produced here. 73 Steve, K4YZ (*) Acute Cranial Rectal Inversion |
