Subject: FCC Morse testing at 16 and 20 WPM
From: "Dee D. Flint" Date: 7/17/2004 10:32 AM Central Standard Time Message-id: "N2EY" wrote in message ... [snip] The important question is, who is the best judge of what the requirements should be? The newcomer or the experienced ham? That is the very crux of the problem. Somehow too many have lost sight of the fact that those with experience should be the ones to define the requirements. But it also needs to be the RIGHT experience. Lennie the Liar has a lot of "experience" in SOME radio matters, but zero-point-zero percent of it is as an Amateur Radio licensee. Also zero-point-zero experience in "emergency communications". His "traffic handling" experience was as a radio clerk in the Army in the FIFTIES, and his experience in practical avionics goes back to his days as a STUDENT (never licensed) pilot back when Lear organ-grinder radios were the "state of the art". Would you want HIM making binding decisions for you in regards to Amateur Radio policy? When Lennie discusses matters of technical interest I sit up and pay attention...but that's ALL people like him CAN talk about. I know people like him in my professional life too...people who can recite the textbooks and history annals inside and out...but don't have a valid clue as to HOW to apply what they know. People like that are dangerous. 73 Steve, K4YZ |
