I would have gave money 10 years ago if the ARRL had advocated dropping that
flippin' CW. Now that the ARRL is being pushed from the top down all they
want is money. Sounds like another government agency to me.

technology ever gets implemented, this may very well be the end of ham
radio as we know it. Make no mistake about it - we're talking 60 dB
noise increase across the entire HF, not dropping the Morse requirement!
And for what? So that people in the rural areas of USA can have a faster
download from porn sites?

A measly $25 - $100 can help prevent your $5000 equipment from becoming
an expensive coffee cup warmer.

Yes, this is too little to late. What are the ARRL boys going to do with the
extra money, buy some Senator a whore and put money in his campaign fund? No
thanks.

I would have been a doctor, a brain surgeon at that, if it wasent for that
FLIPPIN' test I would have to pass. I guess they figure they have to separate
the men from the boys somehow?

OK, if you folks can't find your way clear to contribute to the ARRL's defense
of amateur radio against a "technology" that can well sterilize the HF and
lower VHF spectrum, then how about reading the comments filed on 03-104 and
providing some well thought out reply comments.
