Actually, that was the theme of a thread in here. Evil manufacturers
are selling ham radio down the sewer.

Read the Report and Order for 98-143.

The comments most quoted by FCC in its restructuring decisions
weren't those of ARRL, NCVEC, or even NCI. Not those of any
individual, either.

The comments most quoted by FCC in its restructuring decisions
were those of Kenwood of America.

Here's an update on the "when will FCC drop Element 1?" pool.

Note how almost everyone's date, including mine, has already
passed:

WA2SI: September 13, 2003
KF6TPT: September 29, 2003
KC8EPO: December 31, 2003
K2UNK: January 1, 2004
K2ASP: March 15, 2004
AA2QA: April 1, 2004
N2EY: April 15, 2004
N3KIP: May 1, 2004
KC8PMX: July 1, 2004
WA2ISE: August 1, 2004
K3LT: September 15, 2004
WK3C: December 30, 2004
N4PGW:May 22, 2005
N8UZE: July 1, 2005
AB2RC: July 1, 2007
KB3EIA: July 5, 2007
W5TIT: June 1, 2008

Anybody want to add a prediction? If so, the "rolling rule" (thanks
Dee, N8UZE) applies:

If your prediction on this list is a year or more in the past, you can
add a new one.

At this point N3KIP and everyone before him can add a new prediction.
All predictions stay on the list.

Just a SWAG based on several things:
1. Prospect (unknown) of an NPRM from the FCC before the end of
this year (2005) which then...
2. requires a set of comment phases...followed ultimately by
3. an actual rules change with an effective date usually several
months from the published date.

Cheers,

I will go on the record with the prediction that Element 1 will NOT go

General privies, but retained for the Extra.


I am willing to bet that you've got the right combination, at
least for now, Bert.

I see a two class license structure on the next "restructuring"
round. That's not to say I like it or support it, but I bet that's
where we end up.

I think enough folks have
written to the FCC, as well as their elected officials, (Some of whom
have a say in the FCC's budget.) and expressed their wishes that we not
follow suit with the nations that have completely dropped the code from
their licensing process.


A-yup.
