[Fists] ARRL Morse Poll

[Fred Adsit]

Definitely voted - we ALL should. Once done, take a look at the other poll
results. It is really quite fascinating. One of the earlier results showed
a large number of hams who either operate CW almost exclusively or a good
percentage of their time. The age at which most hams got their license is
interesting too. The BPL situation poses an interesting problem for which
they provide no voting solution in this latest poll. I am very concerned.
Most hams should be. I should check the poll more often and will do so.
Now - PLEASE GO VOTE!!! (also take a look at John's website - fantastic
:-)

WA7CS pointed out a survey on the ARRL web site. I'm not sure from his
email
header if he posted to the entire FISTS list or just to some FISTS
members.
Excuse me if the info is a repeat, but it is very important.

On the main ARRL web page about halfway down the page is a survey entitled
"Which is your greatest hope for Amateur Radio in 2004?"

One of the choices is that the FCC will retain Morse Code testing.

I just voted and I'm sure you know how I voted. I won't tell you how to
vote, but I think you should cast your vote. We know the anti-Morse folks
will be out in force for this one. I think the pro-Morse folks should be
just as vociferous.

The ARRL URL is http://www.arrl.org

End of my campaigning, now go vote please.
