PCTA Amateur Opinions on NPRM 05-143: As of 31 Oct 05, WT Docket 05-235 Comments on Test Element 1 Elimination/Retention tabulation: [corrected version of previous posting for 31 October due to 81 additional entries made by FCC on 1 November] ALL to Date Since FR Notice Grand Total 3680 1698 Indeterminate (note 1) 240 127 Value for Percentages 3440 1571 Against NPRM (note 2) 1133 [32.94%] 574 [36.54%] For NPRM (note 3) 1697 [49.33%] 661 [42.08%] Test Extra Only (note 4) 610 [17.73% 336 [21.39%] Tabulation in agreement with FCC ECFS as of 9 PM EDT 1 Nov 05. (Snip) Let's make the math easier: Against NPRM (note 2) 1133 [32.94%] 574 [36.54%] Test Extra Only (note 4) 610 [17.73%] 336 [21.39%] ________ ____________ 50.67% 57.93% For NPRM (note 3) 1697 [49.33%] 661 [42.08%] If the FCC were mandated to accept the simple majority of comments, either way you look at it, Morse Code testing (in the United Staes) in one form or another would be staying for some time to come. Steve, K4YZ IF the FCC were so mandated, but we all know they are not bound by any "voting" analogy. What also is obvious to those that have been around long enough is that the current "score" is a dramatic shift from opinions within the amateur community as compared to prior efforts to "score" support (98-143) or back when the first efforts to bring a nocode license began. Playing your number realignment, you must admit then that 68% of commentors DO support ending code for General. THAT is dramatic in comparison to past opinion analysis. Consider too that IF the FCC retained any level of code testing for Extra then the FCC would/will have to reintroduce waivers as the international treaty no longer provides absolute minimal code requirements for any level. That's a path that FCC just won't go down. Cheers, Bill K2UNK |
