[Fists] eHam survey re: ARRL proposal

Sun, 8 Feb 2004 10:19:26 -0500

You can think of the proposal as silly, but no-code is coming. They don't
say whether or not the respondents to this poll are ARRL members or not, but
I'd guess that a poll of only ARRL members would turn up similar results.
That's why the BOD voted the way they did.

Since no-code is coming, no matter how much you guys complain about it, you
better start figuring out how to really preserve Morse code. That means more
Morse code classes, perhaps some local nets--either on your local repeater
or maybe on CWCom-- and who knows what else? Are you guys up to it?

73!
