DS> EH{at}> I don't understand why someone would be against the no-code test. I wa
DS> EH{at}> a no code tech, and then I passed my General, but could not get passed
DS> EH{at}> the code part, so I stayed a no-code tech until the requirement for th
DS> EH{at}> code was dropped. I re-tested and passed (again), and now I am studyin
DS> EH{at}> for my Extra class. Would you rather let the hobby languish and
DS> EH{at}> disappear than be invigorated with new hams? besides, most new hams I
DS> EH{at}> have heard on the air, are much more appreciative of the privileges
DS> EH{at}> that the so called 'original' hams.

DS>  People are learning the Morse Code now because they WANT to...NOT because

DS>demand for CW keyers.

I have my Fathers(SK N7EDZ) Vibroplex Classic Chrome Plated key NO 43094
