It's amazing what people will say to try to justify dumbing down Amateur Radio.

slow code flamed: Anyone going to visit the FCC website please leave them these ideas in their comment box, Thanks. Leave them yourself. Enter your comments with dots and dashes. 3-Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra. Thats too whimpy. Morse code = Ham Radio, right? Make it 20wpm for general, 30wpm for Extra. Require extras to answer 100% on ALL questions of ALL element question pools in on ONE sitting with no multiple choice. You're not "extra" if you can't do that. Stop granting type acceptance to any radio that can transmit or receive on the extra portion of the band (just like the rule for the cell phone frequencies). Extras should be building radios, not buying them. 4-Make the no-code license one year non-renewable. Eliminate the no code license, wait ten years for the hobby to die, then give 2.3ghz to WiFI, 5.7 to WiMAX and auction the rest off to the highest bidder. Looking forwards to working you on the 10ghz-and-up contest this weekend, Glen Sheeesh. |
