No need to worry about all of that technical Mumbo Jumbo and complex math
stuff anymore. I understand that next year the requirement for the EXTRA
CLASS license will be 50 cents and two box tops from COCO PUFFS... At least,
that seems to be where it's all headed. Agree or disagree all you want about
the code requirement, but the Extra Class Licenses has always commanded a
little respect. A fellow or lady was willing to make an investment in his/her
time to learn some theory regarding this hobby. You didn't need to be a
Genius or an Engineer but there was effort required to obtain the license and
many of us were able to put the time into doing something that we were proud
of. Guess the days of taking pride in an accomplishment are quickly dwindling
as our society succumbs to the easy way of doing everything. Thanks, Dick
Bash for leading the way in the amateur ranks. Take a listen to 75 and 20
meters and you will hear the benefits of lowering the standards. The most
popular topic seems to be which mic sounds best with this Kenmore or other
rig. They spend hours trying this setting and then another to get the audio
just right for some bozo who doesn't have a clue and then they have
absolutely nothing intelligent to talk about. Guess that's why they like
burping in the mic; the mating call of the REDNECK HAM ! !
