Default Now that CW is gone there will be more ham to non-ham conflicts.

The FCC, in our Democratic society, asked for input on the code/no-code
issue for quite awhile from the ham radio community. The MAJORITY of hams
voted to do away with Morse Code so that's why it's now gone.


What was the official tally? I didn't get a ballot (which is not very
democratic in my opinion )

Additionally, after the World Radio Conference (WRC) of 2005, 99.9% of the
other countries decided to eliminate the code as well, with only the U.S.
and a couple of others hanging on to this antiquated mode.


If your figure of 99.9% is correct, and there are approximately 250
soveriegn countries in the world, this would mean that (1.000 - 0.999) X
(250) countries still have the code requirement. That would be 0.25
countries that retained code. Since this number must be an integer, we must
round it down to 0. Is zero correct?

Incidently, the ham bands NEVER became "CB-like" in the countries who have
already dropped the code years ago.


I'm not sure that CB in those countries ever became CB-like in the American
sense.

Hams in places like Canada, Mexico, Europe, Africa, and Austrailia noticed
no change to the bands whatsoever.


Aha, but they don't have a kb9rqz in those countries either ;-))

So...you, and others like you, can quit crying 'Wolf' now.


I'm sure you were not addressing this post to me :-))
