I wrote what follows the FOX snip last week, and unfortunately the dumb down media paid attention to the Globalist ARRL nonsense. FOX says:
The newest trend in American communication isn't another smartphone from Apple or Google but one of the elder statesmen of communication: Ham radio licenses are at an all time high, with over 700,000 licenses in the United States, according to the Federal Communications Commission.
Ham radio first took the nation by storm nearly a hundred years ago. Last month the FCC logged 700,314 licenses, with nearly 40,000 new ones in the last five years. Compare that with 2005 when only 662,600 people hammed it up and you'll see why the American Radio Relay League -- the authority on all things ham -- is calling it a "golden age."
Next comes the decline and fall like all Empires. These are meaningless licenses issued to police, firemen and those too scared to become either and pretending, after 9/11.
"Over the last five years we've had 20-25,000 new hams a year," Allen Pitts, a spokesman for the group, told FoxNews.com.
As for non paper tiger hams, tens of thousand of hams who worked for their licenses fled after the 1991 Globalist era no Morse Code nonsense let in the lazy by default, and in many cases, the stupid. Some learn it anyway and good for them, for putting effort into it.
I love the now standardized no Code shill articles like this one by Doug Grant, K1DG, written for over a decade by the ARRL cronies ad nauseum. They kept up the spin even after they got their way with no Code, dumb-down licensing. They failed to create more than passers by and licenses on paper, but because they also caused thousands of qualified hams to jump ship in the process, they cover it by declaring how qualified post-Code test licensees are.
They aren't.
Even a local long-time ham who worked for Lockheed can't even repair his own XP computer and was employed procuring government computers. Want his callsign ?
Few bother learning anything more than turning on a handheld and mobile radio. Those that do were going to anyway, and it's always the guys who are learning the Code and getting on HF after the fact who become useful hams. The rest might as well get lost.
The US amateur-licensing process no longer requires knowledge of Morse code for any class of license. This requirement has historically been a major impediment for many technically skilled individuals who were interested in ham radio but who could not or would not conquer Morse code. Ironically, the portions of the bands reserved for CW (continuous-wave) operation are busier than ever, as new licensees discover that narrow-band modes are more effective for weak-signal work than are wider-bandwidth modes, such as SSB (single-sideband) voice.
If they were "qualified," how is it that they couldn't learn Morse Code ?
How are you "qualified" if you can't meet the requirements ?
Doug, why don't you take your Globliast nonsense out of this hobby as well.
You're the same type that won't hire disabled people, or injured people because your Globalist insurance company illegally looks into what was done to them.
The Morse Code test and being able to draw a schematic were barriers only to the lazy and those with low IQ.
As evidence I present my Novice at 14, and my 20 WPM Extra at a month past 18. And there were younger, but I put school ahead of my hobby.
In the end, this government assassinated me because I refused to do their Globalist bidding and lend my ancestry to their coup d'etat.
Spare me the Globalist propaganda that dumb is good and we're all equal that was created by a self-appointed elite that are nothing more than accessories to the assassination of my family members in Rome.
Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt served as the head of policy at the Department of Education during the first administration of Ronald Reagan. While working there she discovered a long term strategic plan by the tax exempt foundations to transform America from a nation of rugged individualists and problem solvers to a country of servile, brainwashed minions who simply regurgitate whatever they’re told.
These are Germanic principles created to recondition humanity over 1535 years, and they make me vomit.
