No, please tell us how requiring code tests and more difficult technical

When code testing was 13/20 WPM and the technical tests were much
harder, we still had all the idiots on the bands. Those idiots are not
more proficient. You are simply ignoring reality. Do you live in a cave
or something?


You must be one of them lazy hams.


He's right, though. Anyone who ever heard K2SUC out of Nutley, NJ,
would agree. The repeater wars of the 60s and 70s. The 146.715
repeater on Long Island in the early 70s.

We've had our share of pre-VEC idiots. But it was never as bad as
even some of the things you hear on 75 these days. I rarely plug a
mic in.
