I do not believe that one way transmissions should be legal on the
amateur bands.

Period.



No bulletins about hurricane Katrina and communications emergency
activations?

Not unless it is part of an emergency net, and therefore inherently part
of two way conversations. If it is just a broadcast, turn on Fox News or
CNN.

No code practice sessions?

No. With the dropping of Element 1, code testing can now be self taught.
Get on the air, and find someone who will QSO wit ya. And no anyhow.


With the dropping of the code testing, it will be even more important to
have the code practice transmissions. There will be fewer Elmers available
to teach those wish to learn.
