[net.ham-radio] Morality Excitation Index Bulletin

brucec@iddic.UUCP (Bruce W. Cheney) (02/13/85)

  Hey, any of you remember the days when Dick Bash used to publish
"exam guides" that had pretty much all the questions and all the
answers to the tests ??  People used to get pretty bent out of shape
over whether this was ethical.  Now the FCC does it, and folks have
even posted all the novice questions to the net.  But now nobody
even thinks twice about it.  I guess ham morality and hypocrisy
fluctutate, kind of like the solar flux.  Why just the other day I
saw an ARRL Ham Morality Excitation Index Bulletin:

Through the rest of this cycle, scanners and pirate video topics
will rise in temperature, while local antenna regulation will
remain constant.  Exam guides have cooled considerably while
jamming sustains its high level of interest.
