Slow Code is the kind of guy that everybodys hates on the air. He is
the Jammer because no one listens to him.

This code argument really gets old. I passed the General 13WPM code. Bidg
deal. Yeah, I like to use CW, but do I think people need to be tested on
CW? Heck NO! Let's end this antiquated test. It's a modern era. If you
want to learn it -fine, but don't push your old and outdated beliefs on
anyone else.

The licensing hierarchy (and the morse code debate) isn't about value,
it's
about status. It's about having a chip on your shoulder that says "I'm
better than you".
well the procoders like to rpetend it is about value

Nope. That's hardware manipulation,
no that is prgraming indeed it is basis of all prgraming

but you have to try and distrot and twist any line of logic till

So, Mark. Besides being a Colonel and a geophysicist, you are now an
electronics engineer as well?

If you want to get into esoteric terms consider:

The man who uses a plotting board to calculate artillery elevations and
azimuths is called a "COMPUTER".

Blasphemy! The IBM 650 was the first computer
I ever programmed - in 1958 at Texas A&M.
Bi-Quinary (like an abacus) with a magnetic drum
and tons of air-conditioning to cool the hundreds
of dual triodes.

spake thusly:

It's all about proving that you value a ham license so much that
you'll do some hard work to get it, much like a recruit going through
boot camp.

Code has nothing to do with "value". A recruit going thru boot camp is
a laughable analogy.

We're talking about U.S. regulations. It's kind of odd that a
Canadian would worry that much about them.


The Canadian's screwed up their country, now they're looking around for
another one to screw up.
