RE: [DX-CHAT] Re:Digital robots
1. The ARRL didn't push through the no code test license. Has everyone forgotten No Code International? 2. The ARRL didn't initiate incentive licensing. The FCC did. What the ARRL did was take the FCC's rather draconian plans and come up with something more palatable... and they've been falling on their sword for that ever since. 2a. Incentive licensing happened roughly 45 years ago, and almost all of the instigators are retired or have QSY'd to another plane of existance. Can't we give that poor dead horse a break from ~45 years of beatings? 3. The digital robots exist. They're already out there. Their operators are demanding their share of the pie, too. So what are you going to do? Abolish them? Or find a place to put them where they won't bother anyone else or be bothered by anyone else, which is not the situation we have today. Remember... either we work it out ourselves, or the FCC and other governmental agencies will do it for us -- and after seeing the debacle of the 80/75 meter phone band expansion and it's impact on 80 CW 80 Digital operators (including DX'ers), I'm not sure I trust them to have our best interests in mind. 73 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 9:51 AM To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: [DX-CHAT] Re:Digital robots Remember incentive licensing? Now, a few decades later, and money is tight, a license without code gets through the FCC. Have to keep up the membership, you know. But now they want dx space for digital robots.
