Doug and I are OLD friends... even though we have Not seen each other
since his Move out West
I expect to get flamed for this Comment But its all in FUN..
Hey Doug..... July Test for your Extra? and its about Time???
Lets face it.... Even Im thinking about upgrading to extra. But its
not because "its about Time"
Its because the exam has gotten so easy. My 9 year old can pass
it...even at 5 WPM if that's still required... that's pretty sad to say
that about the amateur Extra the exam that used to show. If you can
pass it you earned it..
for 25kc on each band Edge.. they can keep it.
why Not just Remove the license require for amateur radio.. its getting
to that point.
and the ARRL is Getting to be to powerful.. 5 or 6 people make the
decisions to the FCC for
Rule changes. for the rest of us... that's really SCARY......
