... But insisting on meeting all
three of these goals requires that Technician licensees be
automatically upgraded to General. If it's that essential that there
only be 3 license classes, then why not keep the Technician license
and upgrade the current Novices to Technician?


Because we need to bring back the eliminated entry-level license!

If a new entry-level
license is necessary, then what's wrong with having 4 license classes
instead of 3?


Because it is UNNECESSARY... the General, Technician, and TechPlus
tests are/were virtually identical - ergo, MERGE 'EM ALL!

What's wrong with compromising on #1 or #2?


Forget it... NO MORE COMPROMISING! It has been attempted over the
years, and all these foot-draggers want to do is pull us back to
December 6, 1941... 'aint gonna happen McGee... It is 2004, and we
have Cell Phones, the Internet, 125 Channels on TV, etc., etc., etc...
time for US Ham Radio to join the 21st century.

Morse Code will now officially be IRRELEVANT (at least as far as
Novice and General Classes are concerned). LIVE WITH IT.

The ARRL proposal is PERFECT... time to MOVE ON!
