So you're just asking me to shut up. Is that what we have to look for in
the
amateur radio of the 21st century?

I've never asked you to shut up. But I have repeatedly informed you that
you resemble a stray dog with three legs and one blind eye dragging around a
15-days-dead roadkilled stray cat and acting as if you've uncovered
something dangerous.


If you guys have an answer that simply quashes the KL7CC paper's bad
ideas, why
are you so afraid?

I'm not a bit afraid. Here's my answer which "simply quashes" your
pizza-shaped kitty.

If you have tendency to forgetfullness, simply bookmark
http://home.earthlink.net/~k0hb and click on the left hand menu item labeled
"FCC Comments".

II Proposal:

I propose that no new applicants be accepted for the current
license classes and that after some reasonable grace period, no
upgrades be available in the current licensing structure.

A. New License Classes:

I propose that new license applications be available
in two classes, namely "Class B" and "Class A".
The "Class B" license would have an entry-level test (basic
regulations, safety, operating procedures, basic DC and AC
electronics). This class would have full frequency and
mode privileges, power limited to 50W output. The license
would be issued for a period of 10 years, and be non-renewable.
holders of this license would be required to have 2 years
experience as a licensee ("time in grade") before being
eligible to upgrade to "Class A".

The "Class A" license test would be of a difficulty level
similar to the current Extra class test, and would have
full privileges at power levels up to 1500W, equivalent to
current Extra Class license holders. This license
would be issued permanently without requirement for
renewal.

B. Status of current licensees.

Current licenses could be renewed indefinitely, and would
retain their current operating privileges.
Current Novice, Technician, General, and Advanced class
licensees could up grade to "Class A" at any time.

You didn't ask Hans to shut up with his 2 license class proposal.

Are you asking me to shut up with my 2 license class proposal, Jim?
