When code is gone your going to see an in rush of lazy people that don't
want to be good or skilled at anything, and their frustration over their
laziness will be taken out on other hams on the bands. This will turn ham
radio into CB.

Code by hand/ear is a quaint skill much loved by old geezers. Just like
knowing how to use a slide-rule. Interesting for historical reasons... but
not very useful otherwise. And old geezers kick the bucket... so in the end
change comes by the minds of the young. Welcome to the 21st century,
Marconi.

SC, I remember what happened to the net with the introduction of AOL
"newbies". So I can relate to your fears. But I think that scenario will
only play out if code AND written exams are abolished. I don't think your
average CB'er could pass the technician exam without code.

Now, psychology... lazy people as a rule don't have frustration over their
laziness. They only get frustrated by biological needs. Why? because
they are L A Z Y.

I think it is reasonable to say that ham radio was already destroyed
because it has not kept up with change. Eliminating the CW tests will
helbring it back from possible extinction.

Who cares it we get lazy people into the hobby? At least we get some
people.

It was destroyed by not regulating it properly.

But that's the whole idea ... to stymie uncensored communications
between rational adults.

That's why with every FCC ruling, the joys of scanning are effectively
reduced in favor of it.

so what are you SC,a fortune teller,soothsayer,prophet or what?
I have been studying the code for a while now and I know all the
letters and everything
but I am very slow with it yet. My goal has been to take the code test
in January,I have already passed the tech and general tests.But I gotta
tell you,all the crap from guys like you
have really been a turn off. "Laziness,dumbing down,end of ham
radio,all that other ignorant crap from a bunch of these people make me
think why in the world learn the code,I sure would
not want to make a contact with one of these guys.No way my sending
would be good enough for these perfect hams and who needs the grief.But
you have it all figured out and know what the future holds for this
HOBBY.So I may go ahead and take the test next month and I might not.In
the end it wont make any difference will it?I really wish you and those
like you would accept the reality of the way things are and let it go,
enjoy the hobby and stop spreading hate and discontent.You just drive
people away with that junk.

Put the idiots in the kill file. Don't waste your time reading them.

Good luck with with the license testing. Have fun with the hobby code,
phone, digital, and slow scan TV. Ignore the idiots on the air along
with the idiots in the news groups.
