Now that the element 1 requirement is likely to go away, why do NCVEC,
ARRL, and even Hans' proposals simply set up a new caste system? There
is nothing wrong with levels of certification, but they should make some
sense.

The only logical argument that I can accept for the punitive measures
of power limitations and the ridiculous restrictions on homebrewing and
the "final voltage restrictions for the lowest class of operation is
just the creation of another group of "great unwashed"

We DON'T learn do we?

I can hear Larry now, "I'm a Superior Ham because I have higher voltage finals..."

Or Bruce, "Know Ham = Know Voltage."

You've been on a roll lately, Brian. 8^)
