Dumbing down licensing will just let in people that really don't want to be hams.

Just wondering...
Do you really think what you post on a newsgroup is going to make ANY
difference in the real world...
Just because you bitch and moan on here, isnt going to make them revise
the licensing rules..
Get over it and move on...

losers who may have joined earlier. Shortwave and Ham radio is dead. If
you ask the man on the street what AM or FM is? They can answer you
,it"s what the hear on their car radio. The difference is the buttons
on the radio. If you ask them what shortwave is? They would not have a
fucking clue. It's DEAD. Get a life.

Maybe if you ask the average lame clueless bastard in the US. Shortwave and
amateur radio are alive and well and flourishing in other parts of the
world. Indeed, in many countries SW is still the system of choice to cover a
wide area.

Isnt that the main point tho.... they have no power to do anything...
They are just sad ppl with nothing better to do. Next they will be
saying that
you should have to pay a monthly fee to use the airwaves...
Maybe have a subscription fee, that would stop most of the scum (yeh
right)
an old friend
code test look at the code tested ham we have on the air now
Bakb0ne
What part of the GMRS license would be a better filter?
The 5 year duration between renewals, the $75/£40 charge or just the
general way of applying for it?
Im not saying i disagree, just wondering what you meant..
an old friend
with bad attiudes than a code test
not to say it would be a good filter but fee for license with the
license fee used for enforcement here in the state the license is free
(the tests cost something) and the FCC is always complaining it laks
any funding to go after ham violators I suspect you are a brit and so
this might escape you I should have been clearer
nice to see someone serious paying attention here I had assume the
flamers and trolls had driven them off
Bakb0ne
Yep, im british.
I can see your point about the FCC complaints, lack of funding is the
usual reason for them not to bother to go after ham violators. If they
charged users then they would be able to use that money to go after the
retards who clog todays airwaves...
And the flamers/trolls havent driven us all off, we just go into hiding
until we see something of interest, and just ignore the rest...
an Old friend
and for that matter I have never seen why we have to have all of us
geting our license by the same path
indeed I have always liked an idea with some folks talking a rule and
safety test (and being confined to built equipment) and pay a fee while
others would takerigourous test and no fees
Bakb0ne
So basically ur saying that you should be able to either
1. Pay for your license and Take a beginner test (to prove your
competent)
or
2. Take a Intermediate Test and get free license after passing
If this is what you mean, then i can see your logic and i would fully
support a system like this...
Only problem is that just like Slow Code and the other trolls who try
to change the Ham world, we wouldnt be able to do anything either, its
down to the corporations, not us little people...

well maybe I am naive but if Ham could get it together to support
something different that was not hard to run (from the FCC's point of
view) I suspect we would get it

putting crystals into my 8 channel regency scanner from Montgomery
Wards.
I am 41, college educated, and technically savy. Today I am going to
go and take my license to be a certified Technician no code ham. So
far every test I have taken online I have achieved a passing score
without doing any studying other that the knowledge I have accumulated
over the past 30 years of being a shortwave, military comm, and police
comm listener.
I hope that others in the hobby do not have the same attitude that you
possess and are favorable to me being new to the hobby (I am a bit shy
out the gate but warm up quickly).
The fact that the fcc has made this test so much more attainable is a
good thing because it invites those (like myself) who decide to join
this hobby as a result of the test being passable with a basic
understanding of the radio spectrum and laws of using the spectrum for
which you are licensed to use.
More people available to be a part of the hobby is a good thing. So
why would you want to try to weed them out?? Almost sounds like you
are being a bit of a radio snob.
Just my 2 pennies worth.

It sounds like you want to be a ham so you will be welcome.
The point that some people are trying to make is that attracting people who
do not want to be hams is rather pointless. They'll be talked into getting
a license by some overzealous person telling them how easy it is and then
will end up not participating because they don't have an interest in it.

is that the point?
then you are worng
It far from pointless although it is less valueble than atracting and
retaining those that realy want to be hams

They only tease you because of the stupid things you say when you
follow up. Just ignore them and they'll give up.
Stop giving them reasons to tease you. It only makes you look
more stupid.
