polymath:

I was thinking it more like the masses over-throwing the evil "in-bred" hams
whose protectionist practices have killed the hobby and extract suffering on
radio for generations... listening to a bunch of geriatric oldsters farting
into their and having their arthritis limiting their code speed is just
becoming too much of a log jam to communications and growth in the hobby...

.... this change is a "good thing."

The preservation of Ham Radio against the influx of
the Mongolian Hordes of non-technical CBers
is not some brouhaha, but a matter of deep concern
for any self-respecting _REAL_ Radio Ham.

Reg:

Thank you for attempting to restore some sanity here...

However, don't be disappointed if your logic, common sense and decades of
experience is wasted here--seems these fellows won't take the psyche meds
and
are believing the "visions" occurring in their minds...

John, a whole series of postings in this thread seems to have
migrated over from rec.radio.amateur.homebrew. One over there
("Polymath") goes off some deep end every once in a while and
starts one of these brouhahas...sigh.

Reg Edwards is a long time UK ham and author of dozens of
excellent small stand-alone programs for specialized
calculations on ham radio technology. Reg has his own site
where these small programs are downloadable free. Good
stuff there!
