I seem to agree with many of the comments made concerning the arrival of the no code era. I personally believe one of the most valuable actions we can take is to attempt to avoid further division within the Amateur Radio ranks and to preach (see what you started, Jay) sanity within the ranks. Having said this, I have attached a rater lengthy item (several paragraphs long) that I will include in my next newsletter to GLD members. If anyone wishes to read it, you are invited to do so. If anyone wishes not to read it, you are invited to hit the delete button. 73, Jim Weaver, K8JE, Director ARRL Great Lakes Division 5065 Bethany Rd.
