Pierian Spring, aka Gareth Evans G4SDW, was once a member of a church
bellringing group. One wonders what happened in the belltower that turned
him so....

If you wish to be perceived as a Childish Broadcaster (CBer)
then continue to publish Childish Broadcasts (CB) as you
do below.

Ham Radio is a technical pursuit with gentlemanly
traditions, traditions which seem to be lost on you.

Do you cut and paste your messages. Is that how lazy you are.

What is Ham Radio?

Yes morse is obsolete, but also useful.
The former is no basis for banning it.
The latter is no basis for using it as a passport to the HF Bands.

Why do we need a further exam for incentive licensing? Do we not have
enough already?....
(1) CB licence as an appetite whetter
(2) Novice licence
(3) RAE.

(Perversely, the Novice RAE is a higher technical challenge than the
RAE!)

Restore the RAE to its technical status, and we have a sufficient and
complete incentive licensing scheme, without anything to do with the
Morse (Sorry, Vail) Code.

Arguments relating to international requirements are redundant - laws
change.

Amateur Radio is dying, and this is due IMHO in no small part to the
consumerism CBish activities of today, QSLing as an end in itself, WAB,
contest operating other than as a means of evaluating one's technical
equipment, squeakies on repeaters, walts on URA, and inane discussions
about the turnips growing in one's garden.

"Micky Taker" is, in reality,

Eric Williams, M3EJO,
19, Raglans,
Exeter,
EX2 8XN.

He is one of those disgraceful adults warned against by the OP; a
grown man with seeming years of experience who was either too
lazy or too stupid, or both, to be able to tackle and pass exams
that were being taken in their stride by otherwise-unqualified
14-year-olds and went instead for the yellow-bellied coward's
way out by going for exams set for 6-year-olds.

Eric did not seem to understand that the OP was a public stance
for the maintenance of academic standards and that by responding
with his Childish Broadcast (CB) in the way that he did he illustrated
graphically the sort of turnip-brained dross that the OP warned
against.

M3EJO is one of the licences issued under the gangrenous
degeneration that is the M3/CB Fools' Licence and by taking out
such a licence, Eric proves himself to be an incurable CBer who
will _NEVER_ make it into the ranks of _REAL_ Radio Hams.

Eric seems to have missed the point that the OP was arguing
in favour of the very acadaemic standards that Eric himself so
dismally failed to reach - the issue is not one of the relevance, or
otherwise, of the Morse Code, but the showing of sufficient dedication
of putting in the necessary effort to get what you want. Going
for an M3/CB Fools' Licence and then posting personal attacks in
the way that Eric did is a sure sign of lack of such dedication.

Eric - you are a stupid boy and should grow up. It may well
be that you wear long trousers but it is certain that your
mind is still in nappies.

Please quote said personal attack.

One up to you then, looks like!

But the Novice RAE is no more, and the comment applied to the RAE
as it existed at the time of the Novice RAE.

The comments are not revalidated for the 3-level farce fiasco that
exists today.
