Haynie admits to problem, alzheimers victims respond with, "What problem?"
You would think the ARRL high priest would not abandon these guys--times
must be tough... http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2004/05/22/1/?nc=1 John -- Watching the cutting edge of yesterday replay--in virtual reality, right before my eyes--in real time! Thirty year old technology--wasn't it amazing? |

Thirty year old technology--wasn't it amazing? Tsk. It took the League long enough to see the "duhhhh..." :-) They've had adequate numbers all along. They've been seeing only what they want to believe. As of the end of 2004 the League had only 140 thousand members. That's about 20 percent of all U.S. amateur licensees. [from QST advertising webpage] Haynie has said that a "survey" showed fully 1 in 5 hams actually got on the air? Oh, my, a remarkable coincidence in the percentage of League membership. :-) [we now pause to have all loyal league believers vent their rage against those who defile 'their' organization...] |

Morse is a ghost language spoken by old men when they do their rants and
name their illnesses--much to the dismay of the vital and youthful hams... The new 5 WPM test for all classes will guarantee you will NOT be speaking morse to any young men--they will pass the 5 WPM to get the extra license... then you will never see them again--except on phone and modem...

John Not so. I've worked several licensees in the CW November Sweeps who gave their year of license as 2000 and AFTER. I currently know several people who have passed their 5wpm so they never have to take the test again but continue to work diligently to get up to both conversational and contest speeds. Dee D.

.... as always, there will be exceptions to ANY rule... I think both
Haynie and I would be surprised if this becomes anywhere near a "remarkable" number... John "Dee Flint" wrote in message ... "John Smith" wrote in message ...

wrote Haynie has said that a "survey" showed fully 1 in 5 hams actually got on the air? Dammit Len, your reading comprehension really is badly deteriorated. See a specialist quickly. What Haynie said was that the survey revealed that "more than one-fifth of new amateur licensees never get on the air." dit dit de Hans, K0HB -- http://www.home.earthlink.net/~k0hb |
