Because Ham radio is dying. If you make it easier, you can attract more
losers who may have joined earlier. Shortwave and Ham radio is dead. If you ask the man on the street what AM or FM is? They can answer you ,it"s what the hear on their car radio. The difference is the buttons on the radio. If you ask them what shortwave is? They would not have a ****ing clue. It's DEAD. Get a life. Slow Code wrote: So why do it? SC |

Pay for your license and Take a beginner test (to prove your competent) or 2. Take a Intermediate Test and get free license after passing If this is what you mean, then i can see your logic and i would fully support a system like this... Only problem is that just like Slow Code and the other trolls who try to change the Ham world, we wouldnt be able to do anything either, its down to the corporations, not us little people... |

I have been into Shortwave and Police communications since the days of
putting crystals into my 8 channel regency scanner from Montgomery Wards. I am 41, college educated, and technically savy. Today I am going to go and take my license to be a certified Technician no code ham. So far every test I have taken online I have achieved a passing score without doing any studying other that the knowledge I have accumulated over the past 30 years of being a shortwave, military comm, and police comm listener. I hope that others in the hobby do not have the same attitude that you possess and are favorable to me being new to the hobby (I am a bit shy out the gate but warm up quickly). The fact that the fcc has made this test so much more attainable is a good thing because it invites those (like myself) who decide to join this hobby as a result of the test being passable with a basic understanding of the radio spectrum and laws of using the spectrum for which you are licensed to use. More people available to be a part of the hobby is a good thing. So why would you want to try to weed them out?? Almost sounds like you are being a bit of a radio snob. Just my 2 pennies worth.

Keith It sounds like you want to be a ham so you will be welcome. The point that some people are trying to make is that attracting people who do not want to be hams is rather pointless. They'll be talked into getting a license by some overzealous person telling them how easy it is and then will end up not participating because they don't have an interest in it. Dee, N8UZE |
