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.

One the NoCode status of the tech license is not that well known.
Indeed until 26 day before I had my license I did not know of the no
Code license, this aas after year of the no code licesne

Two lots of folks (lets leave it vauage) go on and and on about how you
can't do anything with the tech licesne

Three VHF is hardly where the New action is Microwves
