We at the Amateur Radio Newsline want to give you a chance to voice your opinion on the FCC's proposal to drop the Morse requirement from the United States Amateur Radio liensing requiremnts to the worlds ham radio community. Heres how.

Put together an audio op-ed piece that runs no more than 2 minutes. That’s the limit we are setting. 2 minutes and not one second more.

Record your op-ed onto a tape cassette or audio CD (the latter as a wave file). Use a good quality external microphone in a quiet environment.

Then mail your tape or CD along with a neatly typed transcript (or a .doc, .rtf or .txt file) to the Amateur Radio Newsline, Editorial Office, 28197 Robin Avenue, Saugus, California 91350.

All submissions become the sole property of the Amateur Radio Newsline. As time permits during the 60 day FCC commentary period we will air some of them on the weekly ARNewsline audio bulletins.

And before you ask, we have no way to accept audio files by e-mail so do not send them. Nor can we return any tapes or C-D’s that you send to us.

Bill:

That is a great idea. If enough people voice thier opinion on AR NewsLine, maybe that will prompt others that want to preserve code for the right reasons, maybe the FCC will have second thoughts.

I will be interested in hearing the responses.

If enough people post and bitch about it then there will be more people to ignore
