Dee:

Yes, let us hope the future gets brighter... and if it doesn't, we take it
upon ourselves to enact further changes so it may.

There are many, frequent and accelerated changes which lie ahead which
amateur radio already has a late start on--it is already a game of
catch-up...

Dee suggested, "Find a different club."

To which John thought, "How would I be of any use, if all I did was hang
with those who agreed with me?"


I did not say the club agrees with me. Many members don't. But we still
treat each other with respect and work together.

The junior college here will offer a summer course which will count .5
unit towards an AA degree (in an appropriate field), as part of the final
they will be given a general test, final grade will depend on passing that
test. Hopefully, we will turn out tens of new generals per year... class
has cleared most hurdles, fine points still open to being worked out, and
will be instituted summer following the discontinuance of CW testing.

Let's prove those saying dropping CW will make no difference BIG liars!

Statistics over the next 5 to 10 years will tell the story one way or
another.
