   I don't understand why someone would be against the no-code test. I was a no   
   code tech, and then I passed my General, but could not get passed the code   
   part, so I stayed a no-code tech until the requirement for the code was   
   dropped. I re-tested and passed (again), and now I am studying for my Extra   
   class. Would you rather let the hobby languish and disappear than be   
   invigorated with new hams? besides, most new hams I have heard on the air, are   
   much more appreciative of the privileges that the so called 'original' hams.

   I was a member of REACT for over 25 years and in all that time, I would put   
   many of my fellow members up against any hams that looked down their noses at   
   us. We were all after the same thing, public service.
