NO! (And kindly quit putting words in my mouth!) If that is the case, and I
know it is for *many* hams, I believe they have a right to say what they
think. I said people should not complain *without* trying something. If you
try it and hate it, dislike it, or just plain can't do it, *then* I will
listen to what you have to say.
Dan, for a while there I agreed with what you had to say, and I thought others
were not giving you a fair chance, but now I am starting to see it
differently.

Actually, to be really nit-picky, it's perfectly legal to so modify the
radio. So long as you don't actually transmit.

I count two fallacies here:
1. One is not required to work "foreign stations" at all.
2. "Not CW" does not entail "voice".

Houdy,
Rumors have been floating around about the issuing of vanity license's
and the reuse of old calls.
What's the whole story on this?
If this horse has been whipped before, forgive me
I've been off the net for awhile.

It seems to me that the League wanted to do something along these lines.
No doubt there's a profit motive involved.

How about: a privelege is something I have to justify to the government
to get; a right is something the government has to justify to take
away from me.

Subject : Re: ARRL VEC accredidation
Thanks for all the help on the question I posed (sp?) about the ARRL VEC.
Everyone seemed to agree with what I was thinking, so I'm feeling pretty good
about it.
Thanks again!

I'm sure the ARRL/VEC is a forward-looking operation and knowledgeable
about rules changes as they occur. If you perceive a conflict in your
sources, answer the question and cite references.
Good luck ... hope to work you one day.
