Amateur Radio is about LEARNING !!! LEARNING some physics, learning about
sunspots, learning about antennas, learning about propagation, learning about
some electronics, learning about digital communication techniques, learning
about VHF propagation, learning about microwaves, learning about wide band tv
systems, learning about narrow band tv systems, learning about ... [you complete
the phrase].

I notice none of the things you list is Morse Code

If you just want to talk around the world, use CB. If you just want to talk
around town, use FRS. If you want to LEARN about radio become an Amateur Radio
operator [make a commitment to LEARN].

I can still put 18-20 wpm on paper [with arthritis in fingers] and read 25+ wpm.

What is your skill level?

well the real easy answer to that question and the only one needed is:
NO.


Good, we should keep the requirement then, because it has kept a
lot of Bad people out of ham radio.

A-men.......... Bro! It's not getting anyone anywhere. Just tying up
bandwidth and making the groups BORING. I've killfiled more people than I
think the computer can keep track of. DAMNED. We'll be talking to ourselves
pretty soon.

Why do no-coders always break down in the middle of an argument and start
spewing profanities? I just don't understand it. It must be do to their
limited mental abilities.

Opus being a Cannuk probably doesn't help either.

Removing the code requirement at this late date would do little to
increase the number of hams applying for a license.
but it can help retain those we get and encourage them into intagrate
into the ARs as opposed to being driven out by such as SC


How would retaining the code requirement help to retain those you do
get. I do not understand.
obviously you do not understand since the opisite was said ending code
tsting could help retain the new hams

I see that you real as well as you spell, which is not very good. I
was responding to the following: "but it can help retain those we get
".
I "real"? indeed I see what you are responding to but you clearly
can't read the sentence since neither of the preceeding poster is
tlaking about reatining code testing
and neither he 2 yet futher in the tree were talking and code testing
at all

the only one that thinks the poster are sufggesting code testing will
retain anything is you and where you get is beyond me

And said:

And said:

If will take the time to read the threaded responses
he will understand how the thread unfolded.

If you mean just SWLs discussing various aspects of the radio hobby on
rec.radio.shortwave, well, let's hope so. The code/no code discussion got
boring years ago. Or perhaps it's the posters who are boring. Either way,
the crossposters from rec.radio.amateur groups make up the bulk of my
killfile.
