All this verbiage are my opinions on the state of hobby. Yours may
be different, probably are.
Have a good day, see on the bands for as long as we have them.

Well Bob:
You said a mouth full and you are correct. I am one of those 20wpm
extra's and was a general when all the bands were taken away from me
in the late 60's. I guess i have kept that grudge for may years. but
i do get on just about every day. Very little SSB any more too much
crap and foul mouths and neo-nazis. Use to get on RTTY and still do
but AM and CW are my loves now. Yes the ARRL did not get the great
shot in the arm they wanted Oh it happened for a while when all those
who would not put the hard work and time into getting their ticket .
we able to get it the New EZ way. but they got bored So the ARRL in
their wisdom sic pushed to lower the test again. got a few more to
come in who just wanted to guess at the test from the test Q&A that
was passed out. they too dropped out bored. Why ? I really think they
if you are given something for nothing you do not value it much. I
value my ticket as one of the highest peices of paper i have ! I
worked hard for it and I use it every day.
again just another old Farts thoughts on the matter.
