Maybe one of you guys can answer some questions?
What does a repeater do? Is it to extend the range of the radio signal? Because I thought you could communicated across the globe even without a repeater.
What do these terms refer to? HT, CW, mag mount, HF bands, QRP, net.
Do mosts licensees participate in social gatherings like field day, or just use their transceiver from the privacy of their place? What do you do at field day different than at home? What are clubs?
Do people use morse code manually or with a computer/software? Why are you against dropping the morse code requirement? Doesn’t that make it easier for new people to join? What usefulness does morse have these days? Who gives the tests these days? How hard are they? What are you tested on? How much harder is an Extra or General license as opposed to a Novice?
Is it possible to get one transceiver for all frequencies and all available ham areas? What kinds of antennas do you need to put on the outside of your home? How much would a new user expect in cost to get setup? Are handheld units powerful?
Thanks!
