[Repeater-Builder] Re: FYI: FCC officially issues RO dropping code requirement today
I see know Rules and Order (in fact it has not been released) --- it may come next week -- only thing posted on FCC web site was a Press Release about an RO being written !! Appears to be a 'last minute' decision before congressional change in 2007. FCC commissioners will likely have to testify -- why they are so supportive of BPL -- when power companies take over 8 days to restore power in the Midwest 2 weeks ago -- and the economic argument is non-existent. Also, they are still deadlocked after 5 weeks on the ATT and Bell South merger. w9gb

You know, there is no requirement to kil code from the airways. Some people are talking like this is the end of things. NOTHING says there won't be any more code, it is just relegated to the other obsolete and dusty vestages of the amateur radio world. I know there are a lot of folks that enjoy code operation. To them, I say - have a great time with it! It is yours to use and enjoy. There are dozens of other operating modes that are in greater use and are more relevant to today's amateur radio licensee. Why saddle people with learning an obsolete operating mechanism? The FCC acted properly this time. The dooms day sayers are in full foce - but without any facts to back them up. It's time to move the art and science forward - not backward. IMHO Doug KC0SDQ

I took that (almost)very same test there at Clackamas Comm. about twenty nine years ago. And passed it too! --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, JOHN MACKEY [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That's interesting, Neil. About 15 years ago I applied at one of the local MSS organizations (Day Wireless - then Clackamas Comm) and was given their test. It was a 3 page test with things like: How is a FET like a diode how is it like a vacuum tube? Draw a block diagram of a remote base.
