The hobby is almost dead anyway,nothing is going to save it. No one
cares about Ham radio.Most people under 30 have never heard of it and
don't care. All they want is their cell phones, Ipods,etc. The FCC
can't save it by changing anything.

Dear sir:

The FCC has been dumbing down ham radio for several years now. This has
hurt the integrity of the service and is bad for America. They are
planning to dumb it down again really soon now and their plan will make
ham radio like CB and it will be bad for America. We already have one CB
service, we don't need two. Please pressure the FCC to endorse the
following items for the good of the service and County.
God bless America.
