- Even though I opposed the no-code license, it seems very foolish to discourage
- the potential newcomers. Instead of driving them out, we should be doing all
- we can to ensure that the majority of the new hams are of the highest possible
- quality. No-code is here, it most surely is on 6 and 2, do what you can to
- get as many high quality newcomers as you can.
-
- Since the FCC didn't buy my position that the new licensees should be located
- above 220 MHz (to supply a critical mass so that manufacturers would promote
- equipment for these bands), we're going to have to work much harder to retain
- our lightly-used microwave spectrum. (Yes, I know, they passed the same writ-
- ten test, they should have full VHF-and-up privileges.)
-
- The assembled multitude might be interested in the following small display ad
- which appeared in the December 24 issue of "Broadcasting".
