With a loud voice, maybe we can get the ARRL to work for us instead of
against us:


No more automatic renewals. Individuals must retest and pass all elements
required for their license class.


The passing score for written exams needs to be raised to 85%.


Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra.


Make the no-code Tech license one year non-renewable.

This sounds like a great way to kill off amateur radio.

Um, haven't you been following what is going on in the rest of the
modern world? Code is dead in most first world countries, and in a few
months it will be gone in the U.S. too.

Sounds more like a proposal from somebody who runs a VE service.

I just knew none of you rotton scum would help. You Gotta have your free
handouts don't you. ARRL pampered you well. I'll bet you all pay for your
food with food stamps and talk on CB all day long from government assisted
project housing.

Assholes.

Please.... oh, please... just don't feed the trolls...

Slow,
It's is a shame you have to:

1- talk like this and
2- have so little respect for others and
3- have no ability to rationally discuss prows and cons complex issues and
4- have a poor understanding of what makes a good ham and
5- have so little understanding some real-world practical aspects of this
issue and most importantly...
6- show such poor ham characteristics.
7- and probably have so little real knowledge of ham radio, is my guess.
and
8- be a troll

If you're also a 20 WPM extra, then we can easily do without your immature
attitudes and behaviors here and on the bands.

Hey guys! it is also a shame you get drawn into these types and feed their
small minds.

Please carefully note the date of my Extra when you check QRZ.

Well, the thread was dead a week ago and it's a shame you had to start
it up again.

Yes, Yes, yes,
but what are your thoughts on the following:


No more automatic renewals. Individuals must retest and pass
all elements required for their license class.


The passing score for written exams needs to be raised to 85%.


Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra.

This personifies why the Amateur Radio Service has lost an entire generation
of new members as well as why the average Ham is aged 62.5 years old.

It also goes far in explaining why fewer Emergency Operations Centers
managers look upon Amateur Radio as a viable means of support during an
emergency.

This thinking truly puts the "amateur" back into the Amateur Radio Service.

This is a perfect example of viewing the future through your rear-view
mirror.

All in favor of that should respond to the relay league with their vote for
the continuance of CW as a "filter" ; in spite of the decisions already made
during the WRC03.

It has already "filtered" out the expertise of those receiving the most up
to date training in digital communications.

Show your level of understanding of the current situation; vote for the
continuance of CW as a requirement for the death of the Amateur Radio
Service.

You better do it quickly; the ARRL has already announced new testing
material being released for exams administered after July 1st, 2006.

Wink, Wink - Nudge, Nudge

The Code is dead; long live the code....
