[CW] Novice Class etc.

[Steve-W0OOW]

I was proud of my novice class and call.  I had a ton of fun.  Thank you
ARRL for killing the novice class. :(  You have taken away a lot of fun for
new hams.

Taking away the novice class is akin to taking away childhood from a
youngster!

Of course, if we make it "easy" then business will prosper in the short run.
Then business will have to come up with another new thing for people to
spend money on.

Now we are to lose CW for any class?  I wonder what the League will do now
that the FCC has disagreed with them.

Remember the swings and poor keying?  At least they identified the sender.
Yes, some of them were hard to copy, but at least it kept people in ham
radio.  (Yes, I do use a keyer now) As a kid, I had to "work" to upgrade to
General and didn't mind a bit.  I was more than willing.

Can someone please make an "easy button" and send it to me.
