AMEN Phil,

It is time that the elitist HAM community wake up to 
reality.  Competition for radio frequencies  is high, and going to 
get higher as more sophisticated communications technologies 
emerge.  Having to sit, using one's finger, going dit-dah goes beyond 
the pale.  Come to new world, HAM's before the new world leaves you 
in the  dust.  Let the games begin!
