There's a modest maritime museum in San Pedro and it has a ham radio display. A lot of old timers tend to hang out there and several years back I visited the museum and overheard the old timers really laying into the government and at first I thought it was over some issue like taxes or something of the headline news. Instead, they had just heard news the government was going to drop the requirement to know Morse code in order to get a ham radio license. from the way they were carrying on, you would have thought they were going to lose their pensions.
