In article , (Len Over 21) writes: By the way, since your Lordship doesn't understand it, I'm NOT itching to get that mighty Nobel-quality amateur license...I'm just trying to argue for the elimination of the morse code test for any radio operator license. Why? If you have no interest in becoming a radio amateur, why do you attempt to change the rules? Every American should have an interest in increasing the number of potential emergency radio operators. A valid point. However, Len does not agree that amateur radio plays any significant role in emergency communications. Must Len agree with everything? Some people say that cellular telephones have no significant role in emergency communications, yet about every footage of hurricane action film depicted an official with a cellular telephone. Tsk. All must agree with the renowned historian. Not doing so is heresy. Heresy is not allowed in the Church of St. Hiram. You just never know when you might need one, If so, why have any tests at all? Because we already have a radio service without tests which can be used for emergency communications. Or why have tests beyond the absolute minimum possible? Indeed. and Morse Code just isn't needed to be an effective emergency radio operator. Morse Code has had a role in some emergency communications recently. These are well documented by people who participated. Do tell. All Americans can see that on the evening news? We cannot. Lots of radios to be seen, civil government and National Guard radios and news network radios. Ham radio radios can only be seen in action at ARRL website. However, to claim that every radio amateur must be tested on Morse Code because there might someday be a need to use it in an emergency is quite a stretch of credibility. An incredible stretch. Not an elastomer in existance with that much stretch. Only in Newington. It is clear that Len's interest goes far beyond eliminating the Morse Code test.\ He wants to eliminate the morse code test. Rev. Jim thinks that is heresy. No one must speak ill of the dead. Morse code is as good as dead. To quote a wise one: "It is not the Morse, but the hatred" I'm not familiar with that wise one. Who is it? Dave Sumner? Jim Haynie? Art Bell? Ralph Vartabedian? He will never reveal his sources. He will never reveal himself. James P. Miccolis hides in cowardice, afraid of reality, has to use anonymity. He is hiding only from himself. Not from readers here. |
