Code should have been abandoned 30 years ago. It's not a filter. It kept as
many good potential hams out as it kept bad ones out. And no one can deny
that there are plenty of bad hams that learned code. Get over it and move
on.
I learned it to pass the test and never used it ever again.

I need to clean house here for Christmas
What I have for sale is a BridgeCom VHF repeater.
At this time it is programmed for 146.7/100 and is set for about 3 to 5 watts.
This is a 40 watt repeater. I have the program software for it and it will
come with it. Cable is a standard 9 pin male/fe
I took that (almost)very same test there at Clackamas Comm. about
twenty nine years ago. And passed it too!

FWIW - I used NuMorse, a program written by a Brit to learn my code.
Worked remarkably well for me, and I'd tried several times previously to
learn it. IN fact, I passed my code exam - missed only one character during
the entire exam. (Of course it was one of the characters in the sending

The only thing that this possibly has in common with repeaters is that now
more people will have access to repeaters on 10M, and that is all FM phone,
anyway.
Please, can we take the flamefests to some other forum and get back to
discussing repeater building?

It is now just a matter of time. The problems with hams not understanding
what they are doing will increase. Interference will increase. Commercial
interests will petition the FCC for the frequencies. The hams will not be
able to defend their desire to keep the frequencies. Now the ham

Nah, I don't agree with that opinion.
It is true that when the FCC implemented incentive licensing many years ago,
a lot of hams were upset. They needed to increase their knowledge base
(through upgrading), to obtain more privileges in the ham radio spectrum.
Before that was done, the hams wer
Yes, we wish that rule was still in existance too. As a result of this
situation, we had a meeting at our office since this same person may have
access to some of our radio sites, as well, and may try to do some of the same
"snooping" and "plug-pulling" to shut down ham Repeaters. From now on, w

Having looked at the GB3FH website,this duplexer looks to be self compensating.
Any expansion due to heating of the heliax inner should be compensated by
expansion of the linking feeder inner,pushing the tuning bar upwards.

A member of the local repeater coordination council took actions which
resulted in a repeater getting unplugged by the site manager. There was NO

I know when I passed the 13 wpm in 1961 (remember the old tape code players
with a 800 Hz tone the FCC Offices used, this one in Houston, Texas) at the age
of 17, I was on cloud nine. I was in a room of much older people trying the
test. When I heard them send the 20 wpm test, I thought at that
That's interesting, Neil.
About 15 years ago I applied at one of the local MSS organizations (Day

It was a 3 page test with things like:

Huh?
I know plenty of "Long Time" hams who know the code and were licensed back when
the test was at the FCC field office who still can't draw a block diagram of a
radio. I know plenty of Extra class operators who cannot program a simple HT.
They can pound it out at 20 wpm, but forget trying

I will vouch for LJ also knowing code.
