I've been a ham for 46 years and amateur radio just keeps getting better and better! Y'know, you've got a point there, Hans! There are more hams than ever, we have more frequencies than ever, we have more ways to operate then ever, the regulations are less restrictive than they've been since the 1920's, there are more new technologies to explore than ever, and the outlook is for even more of the same. All true! *And*, we still retain almost all of what we had in the past. If someone wants to use, say, 1950s equipment, they can do so in almost all cases. In fact, that's true all the way back to about the 1920s. The rest of the world is slowly getting 40 meters doubled.. Problems? Hardly! A couple of things like BPL, sure, but not the end of the world. 73 de Jim, N2EY I recall you claiming that we needed more not fewer license classes, and 13 and 20 wpm code exams. When did I claim such things were "needed"? I still think those things are good ideas. But the chances of FCC actually creating them are virtually nonexistent, so I've put my efforts into things that actually have a chance of becoming reality. And BPL is such a minor thing... Where did I say it was minor? What have *you* done to oppose BPL? I must have got it wrong again. Hi! Clearly. You must have, "William". There is serious talk of an entry level license. That'd be one more than we have now. Getting rid of the Novice license was a serious mistake. What was needed was a revision of Novice privileges. Perhaps I should repost my "Chinese menu" idea. Or the more recent three-class system that I posted here. 73 de Jim, N2EY |
