Quite frankly, anyone who was attracted to such a structured supervised
license environment doesn't belong in *MY* Amateur Radio service.

Hans, you saying, "*MY* Amateur Radio Service," just smacks of "Old
Flatulencism."

(Sorry Hans, I CAN"T say O.F. or the Semi-Moral Minority will
cane me. Hi, hi!)

Numerous people wanted to join the amateur service because of the
emergency service aspect of our hobby. They may have no interest in
building NE602 receivers or CW memory keyers. As such, the Technician
exam is too complex material for a person with such intentions.

On the other hand, a student license with mandatory hand holding is
lunacy. So in the end, I agree to not have such a license class. But
remember, Jim says that we need more license classes. Apparently it
doesn't matter how he gets them.
