Instead of wasting time complaining about the FCC dropping the testing
requirement, CW enthusiasts should be promoting its use.
***************
I am not asking the list members to waste their time with recreational
complaining.
I am asking that the list members answer the FCC's call for comments in the
expectation that the FCC will be influenced by well reasoned input. Failing
to do so is like failing to vote in an election. If someone does not like
the outcome, but did nothing personally to try to stop it, they have nobody
to blame but themselves.
****************
One thing you can do is get on the air and make a CW contact or two every
day. Another is to encourage all your amateur friends to work more CW.
Invite them over to your shack and show them how much fun working CW can
be. Make CDs with the K7QO and G4FON courses and pass them out at club
meetings, hamfests, etc.
******************
As I've already noted, I certainly agree with a "use it or lose it"
principle to CW operating. It is a very unusual day that I do not have a CW
contact. I work no other modes.
