OK I'm standing, what can we do? the problem is not the M3's but the system
that let this farce happen. I don't agree with your sentiment that all M3's
are freeloaders, that may have been the case when first introduced but not
now. The only way into the hobby is via the new 3 step licensing but there
is no real incentive to advance, a two year limit creating the provisional
M3 licence would be a start - restriction of bands as in the good old us of
a would be another.

You can write to Ofcom, making exactly the points you mentioned above.
That is what I did. If enough individuals do likewise, the regulator
may be induced to make the necessary changes. The RSCB is of no
relevance whatsoever in this matter. I think it's fair to say that
Ofcom have learned their lesson - very belatedly - on that score.

It does no good to keep sounding off about it here. There is nobody
here who is going to pay a blind bit of notice.

Exactly my point Walt. In fact anyone in authority who takes a look at the
anti-M3 "they are all the same" bigotry on here (which sadly you've often been a
psrt of), will then discount all rational suggestions. I too think there should
be both an age limit (minimum :-)) and a time limit, but I don't think either
will be achieved by slagging off CBers and M3s willy nilly.

Too complicated OM. Just refuse to have anything to do with any M3,
works fine for me.

True Peter. I have the 12 wpm morse, and I enjoy the mode. And I passed an
essay exam many years ago. But that doesn't make me any better an amateur. It
was necessary for the time, that's all. We nearly all built then and we shared
some bands with CW people who _had_ to be able to make us understand if there
was an emergency. (The Bs weren't on those bands so didn't need the morse.).
Non-one needs the morse now (but it's still fun) and few people build. We _are_
really now nothing more than appliance operators, who hopefully have some
concept of transmitting cleanly, apart from anyone who likes to choose some
pioneering activity. All strength to both types of amateur, I say. Oh, and one
other thing: we do enjoy heaps of spectrum. But if newsgroups carry on spouting
the anti- line persistently enough, we may lose it. Good, some may say, it
isn't what _we_ want to _you_ can't have it either!

The RAE was never an exam. It's not reconsider by any employer as a
qualification. The Morse test merely showed a dedication to the hobby. A
better test enabling access to HF would be an exam testing the ability of
the individual to rectify emc issues etc.

Wrong. The RAE that Peter and I (callsign not that far away from Peter's)
sat certainly was an exam. It required you to demonstrate real knowledge of
things you needed to know then. From memory, it was 3 hours (maybe 2) of
essay type questions that could not be guessed. You had to demonstrate
understanding. And I know there were lots of employers who considered it a
good vocational qualification. But the need for that particular knowledge has
changed. We don't claim any superiority.

people may take steve you don't the founder of this thread was troll he
has to right to troll, I and anyone has to to try and cut through his
net

nobdoy was being censored I was and am still just trying to devert
attention form a thread I think should die off I am removeing no post
nor stoping anybody from making one, that would be censorship

you might also try learning the difference between the truth and a lie
