This is a response from one of the organizers of the Extra Class
licensing session. I thought the members of the reflector might be
interested in his perspective. I happen to belong to this club, but
passed my Extra back in 1976, before I was a member of the club. As the
old beer commercial said, "I feel strongly both ways."
Yes, I am disturbed by the apparent decline of ham radio, by the ease by
which someone may obtain a ham license, by the de-emphasis on traditions
such as Morse Code. As sad as it may seem, ham radio is kind of an
anachronism in this day and age. I hope I have many decades to live and
that ham radio outlasts me. I still love it.
Keep the faith.
