Blame the code test for everyhting bad while the real problems are not addressed. 73 de Jim, N2EY It depends what you mean. Will repealing the code test provide a vast increase in numbers? No. Will it provide some increase? Yes. I'd say that's more like a maybe rather than a yes. Are there thousands of hams that could pass the General or Extra theory trapped above 30 MHz? Yes. There are no hams "trapped above 30Mhz. Will there be a large increase in HF use? Yes. That is also a maybe. If the code is dropped this year, many will buy the rigs and try it but may be sadly disappointed in the results since we are in the trough of the sunspot cycle and results are so often poor right now. They may not stick with it until conditions improve since they won't have the skills to participate in the second most used mode of shortwave communications. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
