Dee:

Most at VHF to SHF+ freqs have no license and don't want one--I am
speaking HF here.

Most only want to be able to speak to others in new zealand,
australia, malaysia, indo-asia, britian, etc...

Something which they bypass vhf+ for, those who are not freebanders
use the internet there and chat internationally...

Go ask the college and high school students in the EE fields why
they do not obtain amateur licenses.

I have asked, it is the code which they cite at least 90% of the
time. However, you guys don't care, and will go on speaking like
that is not true. Put your butt in a car, drive over to your local
college and have a chat with an electronics engineer professor
there and the students--then perhaps you will realize we who know
are looking at you like some crazed manic reciting a ridiculous
mantra about code not being a hindrance and the real reason amateur
radio is dying...

Since all the "new action" is VHF and higher and that doesn't
require a code license, code should be no detriment. Or is some one
fibbing to them either directly or by omission so that they do not
know about the codeless Technician license.
