Comprehensive closed-pool written test.
How? "Son Of Bash" would make it open pool quickly. Plus, how can you make a
case that only the top ticket gets a closed pool but open is OK for the others?
Because this would be the "final exam". If someone is truly
worthy of having "the whole enchilada", then they should be able to
prove it.
And as for the "Bash" syndrome, I suggest a new line in Part 97:
"Test Confidentiality: Except for those test items released by the
VEC as approved by the Commission, it shall be a violation of this
Part to reveal content of any examination prepared for any Amateur
Radio operator examination."
Never going to happen; this would require a FCC exemption from the Freedom
of Information Act.
The FAA has such an exemption and still publishes all the questions and
answers for FAA tests.
Of course there are those that seem to think an amateur extra license is
of greater importance than an airline transport pilot certificate and an
instrument rating.
