   EH>>  TW>  And I suspect the REACT people like them also.   
   EH>>   
   EH>> Thanks for making my case.   
      
   EH>I was a member of REACT for over 25 years and in all that time, I would put   
   EH>many of my fellow members up against any hams that looked down their noses a   
   EH>us. We were all after the same thing, public service.   
      
   I was not looking down my Nose at REACT they perform a great service   
   jsut many Hams. OF course they jsut like the Ham group has soem bad   
   apples but I am not judging all REACT people by their example.   
      
   That said I do have a probem with the way some Ham Licence training   
   sessions are are conducted.   
      
   By the way I also had a great deal of Trouble with the Cod. I tried   
   many tiems over the years to get it down but it jsut never clicked with   
   me.   
   Even after the NO Code Tech came out I waited many years before getting   
   the licence bacaus of my belief it made BETTER disiplined Hams.   
   Although listening to soem of the HF bands seemed to Disprove that one.   
   I also tok the Genmeral at the First Test session after the Code was   
   dropped and past.   
   Although I had a trump card because I could pass the General Test in   
   1949 and I also kept up with things since so with only a quick review I   
   was ready.
