    I am now 54 years old and I have always felt that we will rely on amature radio operators in the future. I wanted to take the test in the past, but never took the time to learn Mores code which is laziness on my end. When the requiremnt was elinated, I didn't feel I was worthy enough to get a license. For all these years we have had opertors that took the time and effort to pass these classes and learn Morese code to do so. Maybe this is a poor excuse for not obtaining a license, but I do have the up most respect for everone that has learned this precious art. In no way am I a doomsdayer, but I do believe that history repeats itself. We will need these skills in the future in some form or fashion. Thank you to all that have taken the time to learn these skills and to keep the HAM operations alive.

    Who knows, I never thought that I would get back into BBSing and here I am. I might just explore HAM radio licensing again. (-:
