Default Is the code requirement really keeping good people out of ham radio?

Don't you have some offs to ****?



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.

Just like pro-Mexican immigration Neo-Kommies, their last argument of refuge
is the race card.

Translation - they don't have an argument.

Removing the code requirement at this late date would do little to
increase the number of hams applying for a license. At one time,
possibly 30 years ago it would have made sense to replace the code test
with one that emphasizes skills that actually have a use in the real
world. Sadly, I think that there is little that can be done to attract
younger hams into the hobby. There are just too many license-free ways
of communicating with people from around the world.

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

To which responded:
"but it can help retain those we get "

And said:
"I see that you real(sp) as well as you spell, which is not very good.

And said:
"the only one that thinks the poster are sufggesting code testing will

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

You forgot the most important part....
How about helping out the rest of the world in emergencies?

After any disaster, the first comunications out of the effected area comes
from hams. NOHA gets a lot of there hurricane information from hams in the
affected area. Sometimes while the ham op is in the middle of it.

When all else fails...we are there!!!!
Been there, done that

Amateur Radio is about much more than "communicating with people from

around the
world".

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].

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].
