tentec will survive the new proposals,i think they are long
overdue!!!!!!i passed my 13 wpm honestly,and haven't used it since!!!
all that means is differant stroke's!! i bought my omni 6+ strictly for
sideband use....i view cw as a novelty only with only marginal emergency
use in this day and age.to start spouting the demise of ten tec...not to
mention amateur radio,because of modifications to the exams,(cw)is
ludicrous!!because one chooses NOT to use cw does not make him or her
any less an amateur operator!
it's about time that the amateur community got their act together,and
stop all the bitchin' about cw requirements.radio is radio...lets enjoy
it for what it is!!i know an individual who passed his 20wpm and got his
extra,only to go back to 11mtrs.because of the bickering on hf!!!
live and let live....we will survive......with u,or without u...!!!
