In the face of REALITY of years of published fact that Brian is right, I "hurl your opinion aside with great force!" Yup, everyone just got through saying that there's a problem attracting Technicians to the organization. No one seems to be able to put their finger on exactly why, only because they reject the -correct- answer (reminds me of the OJ case). And they still wring their hands and bite their knuckles and ask, "Why?" It's awful. Those olde-tymers just CAN'T understand why all the newcomers DON'T worship the olde-tymers' ideals of long ago. Hell, I'm OLDER than most of them and I STARTED on HF...but NOT doing a bit of "CW." :-) And so they still search for the answer. The answer will only be meaningful if they work hard for it (uphill both ways). Sufficient time must pass for them to forget what you or I have said, and for them to arrive at the answer independantly. To borrow from Edison: 100% perspiration, 0% inspiration. OK, I'll rephrase the answer. The ARRL may not be just about HF radio using Morse Code, but the Technicians think it is. Hi! Sheds a whole new light on the subject. How about that for fair play? Works for me. :-) Does definitely NOT work for those olde-tyme morsemen locked into the standards and practices of seven decades ago...they're still scratching their balding heads wondering why the rest of the radio world gave up on "CW." Maybe one day, once they forget that you told them why already, they'll arrive at that answer independantly, too. Well, they have their imaginary universes locked up in their heads. They seem to be happy in their status quondam... I give up. |
