If they are going to drive a buggy, it might be a good idea. Maybe we should just drop the driving test altogether...well start with your kids. And that's the point. The written and practical drivers test is a measure of whether a prospective driver knows something about the law and theory of driving and has some proficiency in the operation of a motor vehicle. The written amateur test proves that the owner has some knowlege of the theory of radio construction and operation. The morse code test only tests the ability to translate a language for which there is no practical use. It does not shed any light on the ability if the prospective ham to operate a ham radio in a safe and courteous manner. A live on-the-air test of a prospective ham setting up a rig and using voice or one of the digital modes would prove something about his competence as a radio operator. Copying morse code proves nothing. Sure it does you stupid 'tard... it proves one can do it! Which proves???? I give up... Be a lazy 'tard! dxAce Michigan USA Code proficient. You're sure not phone proficient. Wanna bet? dxAce Michigan USA |

Ham radio just isn't interesting to the current generation code test or no code test. All your yapping is for naught. That's just their current excuse for dropping the code. The tired old line about the buggy whips just wasn't cutting it any more. Bottom line, the majority are simply either too stupid or too lazy to take the time to learn it. dxAce Michigan USA http://www.iserv.net/~n8kdv/dxpage.htm |
COBOL viable?
Hmmm, you mean in the sense that Egyptian mummies are still "viable?" Well damn, they did make damn durable mummies back then, didn't they??? grin And, COBOL continues to go away slowly... but little new is actually created in it, but uncounted lines of COBOL code is still maintained--like the mummies...

It reminds me of the legal profession here in South Africa. It used to be a requirement that lawyers had to pass Latin in high school and have at least two courses in Latin for their law degree. That was scrapped about ten years ago amid loud protests from the dinosaurs. Today the law profession is flourishing more than ever before with high quality judges and advocates. The only thing I have noticed is that the high and mighty no longer spew out Latin quotations = R.I.P. Our SARL (South African Radio League) ham club is diminishing by the year and the once crowded ham bands are now empty. We need to make it easier for new entrants to come into this wonderful hobby. Why does everything need to be made easier? Can't the 'tards learn the code? If so, WHY can't the 'tards learn the code? If ordinary folks could pass the test in years past what is so different today? Laziness? It's like being certified in COBOL when you work on MSSQL, it's a waste of time. But COBOL is still a viable language.... |
Yeah, in fact, that same argument is frequently made in regards to
knitting and crochet--the girls today are too stupid and lazy... Darn, then too, the automobile drivers today are too stupid and too lazy to learn how to properly groom and care for a riding horse these days... Gawd, it just keeps getting worse, don't it?
