[HCRA] Where's the discussions???

[Jim Mullen]

Hey gang,

I guess everyone must be out Christmas shopping instead of paying attention
to the FCC's latest rule making! With all the talk over the last few years
about 'when' the code was going to be dropped I thought the reflector would
be jammed with people wondering how soon they could upgrade. And of course a
few comments lamenting the loss of the requirement.

But, it's been pretty slow here, even with a few postings to stir the pot!

Anyway, I would like to remind everyone they can beat the rush to general,
and give yourself an early Christmas present, by making the December 22nd VE
session this month. The same time and place, Holyoke Hospital Auditorium at
6:00 PM. You could leave with a CSCE for General that can be parlayed into
HF privileges in just a few months. You may have to pay again to upgrade, we
will have to wait and see what comes down from the FCC. But still, isn't $14
a cheap price to pay for all that goes with it?

To all of you waiting for this decision you really did get a great Christmas
present this year. Perhaps a card to your favorite FCC official would be in
the holiday spirit?

Happy Holidays,

Jim, KK1W
