>From a previous fellow:
"Most if not all General class amateurs from 68' on back are still pissed off at that (*^&^$^%*&^# ARRL and FCC for rolling back considerable privileges to I think what they are today. That was a significant loss and it really hurt."

Please don't forget Wayne Green of 73 magazine and the fellow whose name and company escape me now that sells code courses and testing manuals that was heavy into removing CW as a test element.  Keeping the code or removing it, is fodder for a big argument, the new codeless hams don't understand what the fuss is about, and the coded hams can just listen to the bands and come to the conclusion things seem a bit more volatile than the old days.  One thing for sure, it ain't going back, and with the FCC track record with CB radio, the next step will probably be a testless license application in the box with a transceiver.
