Interested in Ham Radio, But Think Morse Code is a Waste of

[Keith]

Dear Potential Ham Radio Enthusiast,
Recently the international body that regulates the radio spectrum removed the
requirement for knowing morse code to get a 1.8-30 MHz amateur radio license.
If you are interested in ham radio then I urge you to contact the FCC
commissioners and tell them to change the morse code requirement. I know that
tens of thousands of potential operators are turned off by the silly morse code
requirement.
Currently the FCC and the pro-code ARRL want to drag out this change for one,
two or more years. Meanwhile overseas governments have already removed the
morse code requirement. Please contact the FCC commissioners so that they can
make the FCC move on lifting the ancient morse code requirement.

To Contact the Commissioners via E-mail
Chairman Michael K. Powell: mpowell@fcc.gov
Commissioner Kathleen Q. Abernathy: kabernat@fcc.gov
Commissioner Michael J. Copps: mcopps@fcc.gov
Commissioner Kevin J. Martin: kjmweb@fcc.gov
Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein: jadelste@fcc.gov

Please take a few minutes to write a thoughtful note to the FCC Commissioners
to change and improve ham radio. Let us make ham radio useful for teenagers and
adults today.

What makes you think the FCC is interested in anything you may have to say?
This is a government regulatory agency! If you are rich and powerful or have
lots of political influence then they probably are interested in what you have
to say.
