- Tsck, Ed; Luck Hurder has at least ONE way to encourage profitable
- use of no-code techs: Public Service Awards. I am glad to see that
- the PS nets and volunteer efforts, which of course existed before
- the no-code was introduced, welcome the use of vhf/uhf operators
- whether they got their tech before or after no-code. My oldest son
- got a great deal of amateur radio encouragement at the age of 15
- when we got him involved with us at public service events. And he
- was not the youngest in the net; that honor went to a YL of 14 who
- had come up through novice (took her test same time I did as a
- matter of fact). Nor was he the only no-coder: that honor went to
- the wife of another OM on the net.
-
- We often used 2 meters for the 'local' link of message nets back
- in central TX; I suspect thats true in other places. Shouldn't
- be too hard to rack up the hours for a very honorable Public Service
- Award (see the pages of QST for details :-).

-
- This is true, but the VEC licensing system requires (I think; I don't
- have my FCC Rule book in front of me right now) that one way or
- another, license applications must be acted on within 90 days. All the
- hysterics here about involving various politicians are, IMNSHO, a
- little rediculous. Someone said it here before, but I will repeat it
- again because it has been the best advice to date:
-
- Wait a bit (maybe until after the Easter Weekend) and then give the
- ARRL/VEC a call and explain to them the situation. At the least, they
- can tell you when the paperwork went over to the FCC and they will
- probably be able to help you find out what the snag is.
