[RTTY] Is this

[Gedking at aol.com]

Hi Dick I agree
Me thinks one of the dumber things the FCC did was to drop the Novice  Exam.
I see people down on the CW part of the bands struggling with CW, working  
to learn CW because it is still the best way to pass messages when Phone 
just  won't work and is fun. When I hear them I try to slow down to their speed 
and  give them a contact!!
I have worked many DX stations with CW that can't speak English and I can't 
 speak their language. but we communicate anyway.
What else can I say

complaining  about uncoded newcomers.  No one seems to recognize that 
some of the  most egregious behavior we are seeing is in CW pileups full 
of old  farts.  Some of us also seem to forget that even the most  
knowledgeable and mature newcomer couldn't take a code test if they  
wanted to--the FCC doesn't administer them anymore.  So any new ham  
coming on board these days will automatically be labeled a CBer/Lid by  
our widespread and sanctimonious welcoming committees.

Ham radio  will soon die from old age and a lack of new blood.  Way to 
go,  guys.  Let's bash those newcomers and show them how we expect the  
game to be played.  ::harrumph::
