			_REAL_ Ham Radio is a technical pursuit. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	One area that remains easily open is the construction of CW rigs - you need little more than an oscillator. Off-the-shelf talk-boxes are the stuff of which CB is made, and not Ham Radio. Therefore let us move to ban voice communications from Ham Radio - a listen to 20m shows up inane conversations from CB types only. CW comms has always been the essence of Ham Radio, and remains a feature of Ham Radio now that the commercial world has moved into Sat comms. So..... 1. Restore the 12 WPM Morse test around the world. 2. Cancel _ALL_ licences where the licensee has not passed a 12 WPM Morse Test. 3. Remove all band plans - only Morse is now allowed. 4. All new licensees to be limited to their first year op operation to 10W home-brewed rigs (And, of course, on CW as there will be no more voice) Let us fight the insidious march of the Mongolian Hordes of CBers-Masquerading-As-Radio-Hams before it is far too late!  |
