With all due respect, Bill,

Isn't that statement really a subjective opinion? I mean, when you get
right down to it, almost everything in the test process is there or is
not there because of someone's subjective opinion that it's
"reasonable" or "necessary".

It's all an opinion, Jim.

My point exactly. And those opinions change over time. From the early '30s to
1951, FCC thought 3 license classes was the right number. Then they went to 6,
then to 5, then back to 6, then back to 5, then back to 6 yet again. Then in
1999 they decided 3 is the right number.

The more things change...

73 de Jim, N2EY

Those who believe they are blessed with the
"facts" in this issue are practicing self delusion.
