First, ever hear of FISTS.

Second, the comment period in the rulemaking proceeding that will consider
changing the CW rules is long closed. I don't think any input to the FCC in
this matter will be considered. We are now awaiting action by the
commission on the rulemaking that is pending.

I agree code should be reinstated to its position as before but I
think there are other things that need fixing too.


Too many Amateur Extra license holders are appliance operating test
takers. The Extra license, and it maybe should be renamed, should be a
double bitch to get by any standard. It should be as tough an exam as
the toughest single "check ride" in aviation-the A&P Machanic oral and
practical exam. Those who have done both say it's worse than the ATP
checkride. The goal should be it should be equally as good a
certification of competence as the old First Phone was before the
school operators made it a thing to get around for wannabe DJs.

I have worked in shops with Extras. Oh yeah they had ham license tags.
They had their call on their bench. And they were the guys who keyed
500 watt PAs into the spec an and lifted pads galore before having
their iron confiscated and made to go to the rework operators and
listen to them yakk about their toddler's tantrums and boozing husbands
and tampons vs. pads (not the kind on PCBs) while they changed their
parts out.

That is why ham radio has lost respect where it counts, the
electronics industry. Now there is no more consumer repair business,
the broadcasters are Clear Channeled into a few overworked saps, and
manufacturing is all offshore except mil and avionics and a few T&M
manufacturers. But still the industry is who allocates spectrum-the
pols don't know what it is.

You don't care because you're a Lazy ass and don't want to be a skilled
radio hobbiest, but there are a lot of us out here that do care and want
to be skilled. When you need help with anything your sorry ass is going to
be calling on us skilled operators for help.

Please folks, do not reply to these off topic posts.

If these idiots never get any replies, they will eventually give up
and go away.

Thanks,

The only idiots I see are people that don't want to learn CW.
