: No, it's what happens when give people tests that are irrelevant to the state of the service and the world today. It's what happens when old timers keep the impression alive that ham radio is about code, tubes and other worthless old "technologies". It's what happens when we try to gate people out by making them pass the same worthless crap we had to pass because, "well I had to do it so they should have to do it" mentality. We already have a bunch of "retards" on HF and have for the thirty plus years that I can remember. Testing didn't keep the low-lifes out then, and it is not going to do it now. Learn to face reality. The old tests are what has brought on the problems - especially the worthless code tests. It's not about "dumbing down" the testing. It's about the need to modernize the testing, and our hanging onto the old and outdated for far too long, that has caused the problems we face today. Having to learn CW isn't preventing you from modernizing, You're just lazy. Now go play with your model cho-cho trains. SC |
