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

The code hating losers were too stupid and lazy to learn and use CW,
they're also probably going to be too stupid and lazy to solve TVI
and interference problems with their neigbhors. There will be more
amateur to amateur and amateur to non-amateur conflicts. Hams will look
bad and the FCC will regulate the service more because of all the retards
we let have HF privledges. CQ Breaker, CQ Breaker.

Welcome to CB everybody.

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. 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. Incidently, the ham bands NEVER
became "CB-like" in the countries who have already dropped the code years
ago. Hams in places like Canada, Mexico, Europe, Africa, and Austrailia
noticed no change to the bands whatsoever. So...you, and others like you,
can quit crying 'Wolf' now.

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

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

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

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