All in the preparation for "THE BIG ONE." That one message where they
save the Titanic, the Hindenberg, Johnstown, etc.

Unfortunately, when it's time to send "THE BIG ONE" they have been so
focused on mode that no one will be left to hear them.

Irrelevant. The MEDIUM is the massage, therefore anyone who
wants operating privileges on the amateur bands below 30 MHz
MUST take that important code test!

Morsemen WILL manufacture stories of beeping derring-do whether
the morse test is eliminated or kept ad infinitum. That's a given.

When space aliens invade the earth in their huge frying saucers,
morsemen will Save The World using the unbreakable morse code.

Morsemen are the gods of radio. Long may they wave.

Maybe a massage WOULD fix your problems, Lennie, but I doubt it.

And the Code test is an FCC requirement.

As opposed to the ad-nauseum repetitions of the "Back in 1953..." stories
we get from you...???

Nope....They're just better than you...in 1953 and ever since.

I'm waving at you, Len, with all five digits of one hand. Remember
though that the wave is encrypted. There's a message in there for you
somewhere.
