INCENTIVE LICENSJ:NG-"FER IT OR AGIN IT? One of the most fascinating aspects of Amateur Radio,including

DXing, is watching the full range of purely human reactions take placea One of them is reaction against self discipline.

Self discipline seems a mighty ha.rd pill for the average human being to swallow o Far and alt•ray the most successful human acti vi tles are peopled by those who can muster the self discipline of feeling some personal responsibility.

Such a personal responsibility confronts every u.s. radio ama­teur right now. The incentive licensing proposal is a challenge to all of us, DXUer and ra.gchewexo allkeG

It should be nakedly obvious to everyone by now that the only reason for any incentive proposal is that people long trained in observing the trends of favor for or against the continuance of amateur radio are worried that not enough is being done to justify its existance.

History tells us that apathy and indifference has destroyed bigger human activities tha~ amateur radioo

So what do we do about it? Whoas going to do something in time? Everybody kept their head well buried in the sand until ARRL finally decided some kind of action was necessary o \'Jhen I say" every bod§, I mean the ARRL 8 s most outspoken oponents, on this matter, were muteo

Incentive licensing is an attempt to raise the technical comp­etency of the "Amateur Radio Service"'so it can,indeed, render a greater and continually self-justitying aervice,"in the interest of the public safety,conven1ence and necessity".,

'.rhe same appli s to amateur radioo How do we conti~ue to convince the public that we fullfill the requirement of being necessary to them?

While s~irting the subject of conm1ercialism; many amateur equipment manufacturers have naively made known their opposition to any incentive licencing proposal because they fear a slot~r-do\•m of business .. I aslk JGhem;v;hich is better 1n the long run,a temporary slowdown while the "appliancetl operato1?s catch up to the stat;e of the art,or a sudden and total loss of all amateur business because amateur radio is no longer able to ;justtfy itself?

Jm unhealthy portion of thls mess iGi directly traceable to the manufaci;ul""ers t;hemsel ves., At'ter seeing a choice rnarket, they set about to ob~o:1olete AM by pushlng HARD with ssb gea1., that a noJc too bright ape could learn to operatee

As the Britishne:r~s say,"Younve got a sticky 'VIicketn:; boys, you~ll just have to ride it outo

The problem for most hams is not so much a matter of learning something l'"adically new, thats got most oppone11ts of incent:i.ve licen­sing running scared, lt 0 s the awesome spectre or catching up tlilt;h the state of the art that has pas~ed them bys

Iijll concede that perhaps ARRLns proposal might not be the final solution,however, folloNi:ng the nlf your so damn smart,l>-.shy ain~t you rich11 , logic; if the ppponents of the incentive plan had stopped spinning their wheels long enough with futile comment and instead put forth constructive ideas to aid the people(ARRL) in the best position to strengthen the status of amateur radio,. ~·Je would have a proposal that would sliltisfy the majori·ty Q

Isn~t the excitement of working DX and the potential of increasing international goodwill worth a few hours study?

I donijt think that UoS .. amateurs in general or DXGers in particular a.l"e so shol"t sighted as to totally ignore the magn:U'icent part that continued activity of amateur radio can play :l.n realizing the ultimate goal of civilized man_; to dissolve his differences through getting to know the other guy~ ~
