As do so called educators who lie about PhD's!

Steve,

We've been through this before. You haven't uncovered any new info. Can't prove
anything newer than 1983!

But I'm still proving you are a fat ass liar!

I think that since Morse Code is old, but not completely useless, I feel it
should no longer be made to be learned to gain access to the HF bands.

The ITU, for one, agrees with you. So do I, but that doesn't count for
much. When the military and the Coast Guard no longer use it, it's
pretty much obsolete. Except among some old-time hams. You know, the
ones that resist all change.

Do I feel that Amateur Radio be made a free for all? No, it should not. There
should be a test, but not a really hard test, but not a easy one either.

Some people think it's already a free for all; note some of the
comments about 2 meters. Personally, I haven't heard what they
complain about, but I'm also not in a major metro area where it may
occur.

I'll even admit, I'll never get a new Icom 7800, at $10,000.00 - I'll be lucky
to maybe get a used 706 at about 400 or 500 or so.

Nobody needs a $10,000 radio to yak with their friends; the "latest
and greatest" technology is not a pre-requisite to enjoying the
airwaves. In fact, some of the newer stuff isn't as good as the older
gear.

It's a hobby, not a life or death struggle.

The work required to get that ham ticket is the only thing keeping it
from turning into a repeat of the Citizens Band fiasco. snip

My limited experience of listening to HAM is that they have a fetish for
discussing coax. By comparison CBers are positively rivetting.

Are you advocating the more rapid demise of amateur radio operators Fat
Boy?

Of some. Some of those on 80 and 20 meters need to move on....

Your such an ahole.

It's "you're such an ahole."

If you weren't so wedded to your munged fake ID, we could probably identify you
as one of the aholes on 80 meters.

Oops, back to arguing-by-insult.

You operate ham out of the frigerator box?

You never did tell us why you auctioned off your SR3 and 909. Wazzup?

Kommie-Krats? Yep, you're definitely suffering from age-related senility....

Hope you make it to the election....

It's the only way you know how to argue professor shortbus.

I'll guess you'll never know for sure since you seem incapable of advancing
arguments in any other mode...
